John Cregan of Princeton, and as he wants
to win in such a conclusive manner as to

Deputy Sheriff Hunters of Sacramento

1t was simple task. The accused
seemed to have taken little pains to
cover his trail. He arrived ten days

alias at the Clarendon hotel. After
applying at several places for employ
ment he secured work on Central
Pacific section crew.
Westlake was at work when the Off
GERS called upon him yesterday morn
ing. He made an effort to hide in the
brush near the track. but was easily
captured.
The prisoner answers the description
of the person wanted, but, as is natural
protests that a mistake has been made,
and claims that things are not what
they seem.
Westlake proved a tractah!e prisoner
but preserved strict silence when ques-
toned. 1t is said that rev ard OF
three hundred dollars was off cred for
his apprehension. If this be true the
plum will fall to Sheriff M ;lunis, as
