|
The police and deputy sheriffs have
been kept quite busy during the past
| "a hours arresting fugitives from JUS
tice. Several have already been tax
en- into custody and the officers are on
the lookout for others.
Ell Psso is a capital place for the
capture of fugitives. They come here
from all points of the compass and
macy of the chief offenders against the
United States laws, now in Mexico,
passed through this city when they
took refuge in the republic south of
the Rio Grande. Many petty Offend
ers, who come this way, often unwisely
tarry here too long and are captured.
By long odds the most important
capture that has occurred in this city
for months, and one that will I'M
doubtedly lead to international COM
plications, was the arrest last night of
| Ysidro Loya, by Detective George
Har old. The prisoner is wanted for
an alleged cold-blooded murder COM
mitted 10 q small village near Parral,
Mexico, nearly q month ago.
The murderer Immediately fed and
took direct course for the border. He
reached this city without being appre-
hended and was congratulating him
self on his supposed security from ar
rest or detection. But he was not des-
tined to escape, for brother of the
murdered man took al oath beside the
corpse of the deceased that he would
follow the murderer and see that he
was brought to justice.
The brother arrived yesterday and
made his way to police headquarters
without loss Of time. Be was referred
to Detective George Harold and in
short time had pointed out the alleged
murderer to the officer.
Loya's swarthy face paled per-
ceptibly when he confronted the. broth
er of the murdered man and he shook
like q leaf when Harold arrested him.
He at first was outspoken in protesting
his innocence, but soon relspsed into
sullen silence and would say nothing
about the crime except that be would
not return &c. Mexico without extradi-
ton papers.
The brother of deceased went to
Juarez this morning to procure the
necessary warrant, etc, for the prisoner
and it is understOod that Mexico,
through O,n,ul Francisco Mallen,
will make formal application for the
surrender of the fugitive under the
terms of the new treaty.
FOR CATTLE STEALING.
Davis, alias Henry Hunter, colOred
boy. behind the bars this morning, on
charge of cattle stealing In Colorado
county, Texas. Hunter had been en-
ployed at Ballenger and LonRwell's
sta bles for some time, but the officers
only succeeded in locating him yester-
day.
arrive in q day or two to take the pri-
soner to Colorado county for trial.
Weber Warner, wanted at Eastland,
Tex, to answer the charge of cattle
theft, was brought in last night from
Globe, Arizona, by the sheriff of
Healy county and lodged in the county
Jail.
East and central Texas sheriffs are
relentless in their pursuit of cattle
thieves and it is seldom that an often
der of this class escapes. The stock
associations are SO thoroughly organic
ed and offer such inducements for the
capture of the thieves that it has be-
come exceedingly dangerous to steal
cattle in Texas.
LOOKING FOR A WOMAN.
The police are looking for a woman
who fed from Albuquerque, where, so
far as can be learned, she is wanted for
assaulting another woman with pis-
toll. The fugitive was heard of in this
city a few days ago and was then an in
mate of questionable resort in the
tenderloin, but be fore the police bad
arranged the preliminaries for err ar
rest she had skipped out.

lar announcing that S25 reward will |

man, also offers 5000 reward for the |
