Sheriff Kinsell BROUGHT Back His Man from
Ell Paso Last N~ight-Oano's Remark
able Experience,

able Experience.
Sheriff kinSell came up from Ell Paso
last midnight, having safely in his
charge Esequiel Cano, the desperate
who escaped from the county Jail two
weeks ago, and the latter is now secure,
ly fastened to the floor of his cell with a
big iron chain Deputy Huber had made
expressly for this service. The shacklf
is so secured to Cano's ankle that there
is no play, and getting it off is a physica.
impossibllity, sc he won't fly the scoop
again, ever if there are q dozen crazy
men around to extend their sympathetic
aid and assistance.
The fellow does not speak English
but a story as CLEANED by a reporter Ii
about as follows: Cano went over the
wall with his leg jewelry on, and not off
US many at first thought, and managed
to make his way down the bed of the
river. Then he turned to the right ano
shutfled along over to the upper narrow
gauge trestle above the Drexel Indian
school, and sat there for some time
while his pursuers were looking else
where for him.
After nightfall, Cano worked his way
over to the pe~nitentiary where he man
aged to get rid of his irons. Then 1t il
believed he went to the cache or plac,
in a corn field where he had buried tn,
money he is supposed to have takel
from the Indian woman he Is alleged tt
have murdered, and with this money hi

striking the main line of the Santa FL
there. Then he either took passage il
a box car or rode a brake beam to thu
south. But it is believed he rode in {
box car as with the money he had thu
fellow could fix things with the brake
men. As neal as can be learned, Cane
rode to Albuquerque, junction, and con
tinued west to Ash Fork whence h,
went south to Prescott, and after q res
continued on to Maricopa whore HI
changed his route to the east on tn,
Southern Pacific to Dem,ng, alters shor
stop at Benson. At Deming, Cano, TO,
| some reason, took a run up to Silve
City, but did not stop, and returning tt
Deming, struck off on the Santa Fe t
Rincon whence he travelled south to E
Paso.
AT the Pass city, Cano has an uncl
and aunt, and a girl, also his mothe
has been visiting there; and he wa
figuring on seeing them, particularly hi
madre and the girl. But he slipped up
as most of the crowd seem to have lef
town. But Cano rather liked Ell Paso
and conclued to remain there, althoug
he might have found an asylum we i
Juarez. He worked as a hod carrie
and at such odd jobs as he could strike
and also struck the saloons for tn
"neceSsaries of life." 1t was Will
squatting on a table in the Klondik
saloon on San Antonio street that
Santa Fe man, Frank Keys, it is believe
his name is, saw and recognized Cane
and presently finding Chief of Polio
Lockhart on the street told him of hi
discovery. The chief and Keys imme
diately repaired to the saloon wher
Cano was found still chewing the cud o
reflection on the table. He was imme
diately put under arrest, and notwith
standing his many protestations, wa
locked up and Sheriff Kinsell notified
Cano made a great ado about his no
being the man wanted and claimed hi
name was Calderez; but the momen
Kinsell set his optics on the prisone
the latter's name was Dennis and tn
officer brought his man north. Deput
Sheriff Dick Huber met the sheriff a
Lamy and returned to this city wit
him last night. The cell In which Can
is o confined is right under the foo
of IDENTITY Huhar'S he'd room Whel
there is a trap door through which a
of the movements of the prisoner can b
noted, so he is safe enough.
