ployed man named T. M. White to take
care of his ranch. Brown was not fairly
out Of sight of his property when White
began to sell the personal property on
the place and he did not let up until he
had disposed Of fully $40 worth. This
fact of the treachery of White was
made known to friends of Brown and
they at once took steps to have the lat
ter arrested. A warrant was placed In
the hands of Deputy Sheriff Carpenter
and that officer found White at Ban
ming yesterday and proceeded to place
him under arrest. White objected and
drew gun on the officer and attempt
ed to shoot him. Carpenter was wary
however and used his gun on the head
of White, knocking him doyn and then
placed the bracelets on the fighting
Whites wrists. Carpenter brought
White to the county Jail last night where
he now lodges. White acknowledges to
the sheriff that he stole and sold the
property. When searched policeman's
badge marked Denver Police No. ST.

are Of the opinion that they haye cap
tured man with a record. The Denver
police will be communicated with.
