Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1899-04-21

OOCulSe OunLy bOUelluneS Known as
the George IL. Waterbury Of southern
Arizona, vas here looking after the
Halderman brothers. Sid Mullen OF
Davis-Fox notoriety, Mr.. Whites
deputy, was here. White had sent TO
Deming after George Scarborough and
a posse, and they were here. Three
different posses set out, Scarborough
at the head of one, White at the head
OF the second and Deputy j. o. Phil
lips at the head OF the third, which
consisted of Sid Mullen ard young
John Epley. Phillips started for the
river and struck the trail OF the Hal
dermans going up the river. He went
up the river, hearing OF them from
every man he met. At Fuller's ranch,
which place he reached aoout dark,
he heard they were across the river at
Mark HIPS, and intended to stay
there all night. He aud his meu put
out their horses aud got supper.
Later in the evening they went over
to Hill's where they found the older
brother out doors. They held him up
without any trouble, and then wen
inside where the younger n was,
and held him up without any trouble.
The young men did not ask permits
sion te go and change their clothes,
and IL Is safe to say permission would
not have been granted. They were
brought to town Saturday, but utter
ly refused to go to Arizona without
the PROPER papers, so Monday they
we're taken to Silver City to await the
action OF the governor. They own up
10 the killing but think they were jus
titled 10 doing it.. They claim they
did not know they were arrested, and
thought when Ainsworth and Moore
came after them they were to be
mobbcd, as they claim Moore vas a
bitter enemy of theirs, and that many
people in their neighborhood had it 10
for tbem, and they were afraid Of
violence. They walked most of the
way from Wilgus, where the killing
took place, to LOrdsburg, aud from
here to the river. They seem to be
ignorant OF affairs, for they said they
thought no one over here would know
anything about the killing and when
they got this far they thought they
were safe. They were asked why they
walked so far and did not steal some
horses and get away. They said they
tried to lie honest, and would not
steal. Peculiar sort of cousciences
they seemed to have. Governor
Murphey of Arizona had offered $3.50
for each of the mon. Sheriff White
had offered S1O0 for both, and a Work
mans lodge at Pearce had offered $50
for them both, which will make the
comfortable sun of $3.50 to be divided
between the three men. Sheriff
White passed through town with the
mer, returning to Arlzoua, on the
train Wednesday night.
Saturday Constable Hardin arrested
a Mexican, who said his name was
Jesus Maria Gelrrira, iur peddling
without y license. On searching linn
the constable found Il counterfeit sill
yer dollar aud a counterfeit half dol
lar, a large amount Of confederate
currency. and 4 baggage check. The
check called for 4 trunk at the depot,
which was secured and on being eX-
amined there was found in il a COM
plete counterfeiting outfit, consisting
OF moulds for casting dollars and
monids for casting half dollars, aud
dies for finish ing the coins. Senior
Geirrira told a fancy story about the
way he came in possession Of this out
it. He said he was on his way from
FL Paso to Morenci, that he had a
friend in Ei Paso who wanted to 60 to
Morenci, aud did not have enough
money TO pay his fare, and had got
him TO carry this stuff up to MOrenci,
while he beat his way there. Geirrira
was TO receive 1--we dollars for carry
ing the stuff, which was a pretty adj
vance even on Wells. Fargo's charges.
Judge McGrath sent the young man
over to Silver city to await the action
of the United States authorities.
Deputy Sheriff Phillips took him
along with the Haldcrman brothers,
/, when he took them aver Monday.
Chan Olmstead of the Ca ranch
; came up from Deming Monday, where
he had been to interview cattle buy
ers, and made a deal by which a buyer
! named Rankin is TO go. and look at bis
cattle. The prices offered by buyers
, this year are considerably less than
those Of last year. Sixteen dollars
for yearllngs is the best offer that has
been made. A contract was recently
made in Deming for the delivery OF a
/ certain class OF cattle, and the buyer
/ has the privilege of rejecting cattle
that are not of the right color, which
| Is getting the stock business down 70
a flne point. Some Mexican cattle
