employ of the railroad, with q
posse, did some good work for his
country at Isleta, near Albuquerque
last week, by which Abel Sedillo
whose long career of crime is well
known was killed, and Duran
wounded and captured.
The encounter occurred at q
ranch near Isleta, where Williams
and deputies Cooper and Barela
had secrcted themselves. The Of
fcers had previously learned that
the outlaws had sold twenty five
head of stolen cattle to the Indians
at Isleta and were expected to
come north via the ranch SIX miles
away.
Sedillo and Duran rode up to lh'
ranch for water and dismounted
The officers promptly covered them
with their weapons and ordered
them to surrender.
Paying no attention to Williams
command both the men drew theil
weapons and attempted to shoot
their way out of the trap, into
which they had fallen. Many shot:
were exchanged. Sedillo went
down at the first volley, mortally
wounded and Duran fell with his
