for immediate action and each wore z
 belt full of cartridges to which hung
 a six-shooter The prisoners wers taken to the county jail, their chains clanking at each step.
 "On the inside the officers put them selves n positions to watch every movement of the prisoners. They
 stood with rifles in their hands while
 the cuffs were removed and the men
 locked up.
 "The outlaws were rounded up yes I terday morning at sunrise by five off, cers. Sheriff M c. Stewart led the posse which consisted of D. R. liar l key. D n. Clarke. s. A. Ussary and
 Tom Tucker. All except Tucker fol- lowed the outlaws frdm Eddy county He joined the officers at Alamogordo day before yesterday when 1t was
 known that the trail was hot and she ] fugitives but a sort distance ahead. 1 The pursuers rode all Monday night ard at daybreak Tuesday discovered their men encamped at Parker $ Wells
 There was no time lost in closing in on them. Constable Harkey, who is known all over this section as a fearless fighter, advanced rapidly and got between the outlaws and their horses, driving the animals off to the right in a rush. The sun was just rising when he swept down upon them at full speed and passed within a few hundred yards of the camp to inter cept the horses. The outlaws were taken completely by surprise. They grasped the situation in an instant, however, and scrambling to their feet sprang to their rifles and began pumping lead at the bold rider, who presented a splendid target.
 Fully thirty shots were fired at Harkey and he says the bullets whistled all around him and made him feel mighty uncomfortable. He paid no attention to them, however, but ste.npeding the bunch drove them be- fore him. Just then the other four members of the posse swept into view and opened fire. Bullets flew both ways for a few minutes and one of the outlaws horses was struck.
 f"The fugitives made a brave stand on foot. but seeing they had no chance to escape with their horses gone, they threw down their arms and surrendered"
 The uncertainty of the officers re- garding the identity of not only the leader but other members of the gang is shown in the following contradic- tory accounts of the Herald and Times. The Herald continues:
 The prisoners are undoubtedly anx- ious to conceal their identity and poa lively declined to- give their names or tell anything about themselves. One said his name was Jupiter and another that he was McGinty.
 Officers and others identified one Of the men as Dan Johnson, brother-in- law of the outlaw Black Jack" and a member of that noted gang of train robbers and bandits. One was thought to be Volney Musgrave, Black Jacks brother, but this theory was exploded later when Musgrave turned out to be Sam Marr of Chavez county, under in- dictment for cattle stealing. Another member of the gang is thought to be Tom Thomas.
 The Times says:
 Black Jack. the noted outlaw. lead CT of the band of train robbers and cattle thieves that have for so long terrorized the west is at last iu the clutches of the law he SD long defied. He is now behind the bars of the El Paso county jail together with three mem bers Of his band. They are the same men that created such stir at Turquoise N. NJ. by standing off Dep rltv Tom Tucker and their pursuit by Sheriff Stewart of Eddy county.
 Black lacks right name = George MusStave and ne was Q cstieman ia New Mnx;co and comes from a good family of Dewitt county. Texas. Somc six or seven years ago he lived in Tal- arosa and there are number throughout this section and in Fl Paso who knew him. About six years ago he quarreled with his partner over some cattle and shot and killed him. Then began his life as an outlaw Sev eral members of the family soon join ed him together with others and in a short time Musgrave became the lead CT of a band of train robbers and cat tie thieves that terrorized the west Now they would appear in one section and hold up train and before the off cers could realize what had happened the gang would be stealing hcrses three hundred miles away. Musgraye is rather dark in his features and this | fact doubtless lead tJ his name Of Black Jack ky which he was known averywhena and few knew his right | name. With Ftm in his present cap -ivity is his yoTnge&: brother. Narity | MusgraVe, his brother-in-law, Dan | Johnson, and Tom Ketchum.'
