THE ROBBERS
CAUGHT.
j. D. Milton, Late Of Ell Paso,
Heads the Posse.
NO FIGHT OCCURRED.
The Party Captured is Known as the
New Gang and THY We're Easy
Meat to the Posse ON Their Trail.
-HOnOrs for j. ID Milton.

Ever since the attempted train rob
berry at STEMS Pass last week, many
parties in tlis city have been q, ietly
waiting to hear that they we're caught
as all the indi .ations pointed to the
fact that the gang who Uade the at
tempt were povices at the business and
would certainly be caught up with
sooner or later. The friends of ex-
Chief of Police Milton koew that he
was on the robbers trail, and they ex-
pressed great hopes that he would
make the capture. His friends were
not mistaken in Their estimation of his
qualities, for report comes that he with
posse surrounded their camp and
captured five of the robbers
as is shown by the follow
ing special to the HER.LD:
SAN SIMON. N. M, December a.
[Special]-A posse arrived here at $50
this mo, ming with five robbers captured
in Texas Canyon at Cushe's ranch.
The posse surrounded the house, cap
turing tn, ee of The robbers without
the exchange of a SHOT, two others
coming in separately during the day
and were taken into custody with the
balance. The robbers were captured
on the afternoon of the 18th. The
posse was in charge of United States
Deputy Marshal ]. D. Milton, G.. Baca,
Sam w. Finley and T. McElroy, a
combinat on of three pursuing parties.
The gang captured is designated as the
New gang.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Passengers in from the west on to-
days No. 10 say that while the train
was at San Simon sta tion, a rider came
in from the north and gave Information
that the entire gang of hold-ups had
been captured. J ID Milton, formerly
chief of police of this city, and an cid
Texan ranger, led q posse that sur
rour ded the outlaws seventy-fve miles
from San Simon station, and the move
Vas SO quick that the robbers were
taken without shot being fired. There
were five of them, and as the train
reached Lord dsburg it was learoed that
brought into San Simon by wagon care
fully guarded by the officers.
Evidence continues to accumulate
that the slain band was Vic. Collins
who was well known in this city. II
this is not so, it would bs well for his
reia' ives and friends 10 speedily pro-
duce evidence to the contrary.
TIE HERALD wired Mr.. Milton for
the names of the parties captured, but
he answ cred that for obvious reasons he
did not want to give the names to the
public for a day or SO. The supposi-
pliers { f the gang and did not want
them to find out that he already had
