The Murderer of Two Policemen n Denver Is
 Arrested in Guam.
 Probably no Arizona soldier ever en- listed that served as short a time, be- came as notorious in that short time and has been so much sought after since then az Wellington c. Llewelyn, says the Phoenix Republican. It will be remembered that when the govern ment called for enlistment of volun- teers to make up the Thirty fourth regiment of infantry for service in the | Philippines, Arizona sent a fine bunch of men on short notice to Fort Logan, where the regiments were made up Among the boys who came from Globe was Llewellyn, who had the making of good soldier, but he fell into evil ways at once and became the black sheep of the regiment In fact, he could hard ly be credited to the regiment, for scarcely had the ink dried on his en- listment papers when he became fu- gitive from justice, guilty of cold blOoded double murder. From that time to this he has been constantly sought for by the Colorado authorities though from the account which follows he has during the time done some cred itable service for his country. It is open to argument, though, whe ther he did it because he loved his country or because he thought the army and an assumed name afforded him the safest hiding place from justice. The follow. ing, taken from the Denver Times of the 27th, announces that he has finally been captured and the story of his wan derirgS verified the opinion expressed by some of the members of the Thirty fourth that he had again entered the army. The Times says
 Wellington c. LlewellyD, the mur. derer of two Denver policemen, has been arrested on the Isle of Guam, in the orient.
 "WOrd uf the arrest and detention of the fugitive from justice was re ceived in Denver last night from Washington. According to the infor' nation Llewellyn was arrested as 8 deSerter from the Seventh infantry al Manila, and was recognized as the mar wanted in Denver. The double mur der for which Llewellyn is wanted 1T Denver was committed on the night of August l3. 1898. He was a soldier stationed at Fort Logan. He came tC Denver and had trouble with a saloon keeper on Market street over the pay ment of a bill. Policeman Griffith wa called in tO arrest him. Llewellyr shot him through the heart. He rar down to the viaduct, where be wa, caught by another policeman, whom he also killed. He was caught later that night, but managed Co escape Numberless reports have come of hi capture, but on investigation always showed that it was not the right man
 According to the letter, Llewellyr has had an eveutful career since ht left Denver. In September, 1899, h, enlisted with the Seventh cavalry anC went to Cuba with them. He served out his three years with that regiment and then enlisted with the Seventh in fantry and went to the Philippines Last May he became tired of army life and deserted, and in some way made his way to Guam, where he wa. arrested.
 The state department has been no tified of the arrest, and if the prisoner turns out to be the right man he vii probably be brought back to Denver Governor Peabody says that he haS received no word of the arrest.''
