TOD CARVER ARRESTED. Noted Outlaw behind the
 bars.
SCARBOROUGH 6 HALVERSON
 the captors.

Early Thursday morning the 2zth George B. Scarborough Jr., Ed. Halverson and Pollard Pear son brought into town the noted outlaw Tod Carver alias Hilliard and after lunchon at the Earth ho- tel placed him in the iron cage made for such characters. It was brave and we'll laid scheme uI.der which Scarborough and Halverson worked to bring to justice this criminal. For months they had been on the trail and lookout for the desperado. Carver or Hilliard had recently returned to Arizona from Texas, It is believed, and was laying low in the wild country known as the Tularosa near Luna, N. NJ. The bra ve eaptors worked around some timefor an opportunity to get their man then realizing their chance had come took possession of the camp into which their out law would no doubt spend the night. Hiding their horses some distance away they laid for their victim who did not come into camp till late, when two men were spied coming toward them horse back. All at orce Scarborough yells up with your hands ]" Not for any officer" was Carver's reply at the same time his companion put his hands high in the air. Again Scarborough tells him 10 throw up his hands, and it is repeated when the brave officer leveled his pistol saying: "Up with your hands or you'll soon be in hell !" Then the outlaws hands went ur. The oth- CT man was allowed to go free after they had taken his horse, then with their prisoner they left for Luna Valley. By the help of Pollard Pearson they managed in getting hlm 10 St. Johns where he is secure and we'll guarded behind the bars, an extra force being plac- ed to guard the jail against any friends who may come to rescue him.
 There is not much doubt as to tl,is criminal being one of the mur- derers of our beloved townsm eli Frank Lesueur and Andrew A. Gibbons 15 months ago today That he is Tod Carver there is positively no doubt There is a pretty clear case against him. Witnesses are being sent for and justice will get her dues.
