CHASING A MURDERER.
Experiences of Yavspai's Posse in the
 Wilds of Tonto Basin.

h poTtlou oi oHerlH Mun IS posse, consisting of Charles and Frank Wing field, John Fain and John Skaggs, came in from Tonto Basin about : o'clock last night, having in charge Lee Cutwortb and John Cameron, who were lodged in the county jail, and against whom charges will be made that they were aiding and abetting the murderer of Clinton Wingfed and K. M. Rodgers to escape the officers.
 In an interview with Charles Wing field the following facts of the pursuit were learned:
 The murderer is man known as Bishop, and the best description is that he is about feet II inches tall: weight, l65 pounds: straight and we'll formed; between g and 36 years of age: very dark complexion, with very dark moustache and beard: black, snappy eyes; cheek bones prominent and rather peaked chin: dark brown or 'i"Sh h"ii "cuiS ANO. O DDOb, spoken. and was. wearing when last seen d black hat and black cutawav coat. He is neat in dress and appear ance.
 MT. Winsield is of the opinion that the first reports identifying the mur- derer as one Oscar Wade of Jerome were wrong, and that the criminal is Bishop, character well known in the Tonto country. This does away with revenge as the motive for the double murder and leaves only robbery as a reason for the deed. It is also estab- lished that Bishop was alone in his crime, for it is evident that if he had had partner he would have appeared at the store at the time of the killing.
 As near as can be ascertained Bishop came to Camp Verde by the same
