 Douglas. April 20.-A shocking crime was committed at Chiricahua station on the Fl Paso & Southwestern, on Saturday last, which has roused the feeling of the country round and start ed the officers on a still hunt for the murderer of Francisco Salasar.
 Ramon Gutierrez and Salasar were fol low section hands in the employ of the B. P. & S. W. and up to the time ci the killing none had ever seen the men quarrel Not even at the time of the murder was there any demonstration of i'll feeling. The crime was cotl. mitted so stealthily and quietly that those who live at the little station of Chiricahua did not learn of i:s com mission until Gutierrez had taken his departure on the west-bound uain which leaves Chiricahua at about 2:30- ?. m.
 Friday, the 1Tth. was pay day for the railroad employees. and both Cutie reg and Salasar had received the checks in payment for the last month s work. It was the cupidity of Gutierrez in all probability. which tempted him to take the life of his friend and coun- tryman. Soon after the act had been committed, the murderer fiaged No. ] the west-bound passenger train, and came to Douglas, from where he prob ably fled across the border to the neighboring Mexican settlement of Agua Prieta.
 Word of the killing reached Justice Johnson's office on Sunday morning, and he, in company with Officer Thomas Vaughan, Interpreter LeRoy and George Shibley. left on the east bound train for the scene or the rn1-- der. A jury Of railroad employees was picked up on the way. and upon the arrival of the court. an inquest was held. 4 knucklepin. weighing in the neighborhood of ten pounds. was found beside the body of the. .dead man, and small particles of hair found oa the pin pointed strongly to this weapon as the one used by the murderer The dead mans sl..lll was trightfully crushed, and he was a mass of bruises and wounds. The coroner's jury. com posed of E. J Coleman. Lee Glassco. J. 4. Gibbs, M F. Carroll. John Ford and Tim Blevens, decided that he de ceased met his death from wounds irl- nicted by the weapon in evidence, in hands of Ramon Gutierez:
 Marshal Dayton Graham, Tom Vaughan and all the deputies in Doug las are keeping close watch on all trains leaving Douglas, both on the Fl Pasa & Southwestern and the Nacozari road, and there is little chance for the culprit to get away, unless friends can keep him in hiding until darkness aids him in making for the interior.
 This morning. Monday, word came from Agua Prieta that the hunted man was still there. and sleeping of the effects of debauch. Marshal Dayton Graham at once left for the Mexican side. and was not long in find ing his man. 4 peremptory order from the Mexican officers for the cui prit to throw up his hands met with a dumb refusal. They. however, were not to be baked. and took their man into camp. He was immediately placed in confinement. Justice John son was notified of the mans imprison- ment. and at once wired Governor Bro die. advising him of the facts and re- questing that proper steps be taken to effect the murderer's extradition at the earliest possible moment. As there is a great deal of red tape connected with service of extradition papers. 1t may be some time before the murderer is seen before United States tribunal. He will be held for three days. pend ing the action of Governor Brodie. If the Arizona governor notifies the gov ernor of Sonora in time. the commis- saria at Agua Prieta will hold the man forty days lon1qr
