Bisbee daily review., 1902-09-07

his enlistment Stiles work was to cul-
 tivate the acquaintance of Chacon. This was no easy matter, although he
 knew he made his headquarters in
 that vicinity. Stiles rented a house owned by relative of Chacon and
 played the first act that was to cul- minate in the capture of the noted outlaw. Several weeks passed and
 Stiles sent word to Chacon that he knew where some good horses could be had not far from the line in Co., chise county and that he would go with him. After several messages i being sent back and forth, meeting was arranged and the details of the raid on the Sneed pasture near Naco were formulated. Wednesday night was set as the time and another out law was to meet Stiles and Chacon near Naco and go with them. This outlaw was no other than Burton C. Mossman. Wednesday night he was at the appointed place, just across the line in Mexico only few miles from Naco. Here the three men met and after barley it was decided that Stiles should go into Naco for some grub and wEiskey which he did. Re turning with the provisions he again met Mossman and Chacon and the three proceeded to the horse pasture at the Ben Sneed ranch, arriving there shortly after Il o'clock. The night was so dark 1t was decided to post pone the taking of the horses until daylight. The three men dismounted tied their horses and with the bottle of whiskey proceeded to pass the night away telling stories, in which Chacon took a lively interest.
 At the first peep of day a small fire was built. Some bacon was cut and with some dirty water which Stiles brought from a pool near by, coffee was made and the three gathered about the fire and ate. AS it grew lighter Chacon began to watch his new companion in a nervous manner. He asked him a hundred questions, was allowed to examine Mossman.s rife, although while he was doing it, Mossman was close by his side with his six-shooter in easy reach. He ad- mired Mossman's cartridge belt and six-shooter, and refused to touch the whiskey bottle after daylight. It be- gan to dawn on the outlaw that he had been trapped, although by neither look or sign did he betray his feel ings.
 After eating Stiles and Chacon seated themselves on the ground and rolled a cigarette. It was now good light and Chacon was watching Moss man like a hawk. .Sauntering over to Chacon Mossman asked him for cigarette. Still sitting on the ground Chacon handed him his tobacco and paper and rolling a cigarette Mossman walked over to the campfire. Turning around Mossman advanced towards Stiles and Chacon and as he stood before Chacon said: Well, Bill" and with that he whipped out his gun and poked it in Chacon's face. In a flash Stiles drew his gun, sitting on the ground, and jabbed it into Chacon's side. The trick had been done. Cha con never made a move. Looking up in Mossman's face he grunted and with a sinicle smile, said: Kill me. Why don't you go ahead and kill me-
 While Mossman covered Chacon Stiles relieved him of his belt which contained a six-shooter and knife. Hand cuffs were placed on him and he was soon under way for Naco Junction.
 This is the story of the capture of Chacon as told to the Review by Cap tain Mossman.
