Shooting at Metcalf.

 up the trail and followed il on foot to
 the San Francisco river, distance Of
 seven or eight miles, where Analla
 was captured near the 5weeting ranch.
 Anaila had stopped to rest, and had
 secreted himself behind a large rock
 near the road. When Peralta saw the
 trail leave the road he knew his man
 was not far of, SO he cooked his pistol,
 and soon had the murderer covered.
 Aualla was taken by surprise, and did
 not have time to draw his gun so he
 complied with the request to throw
 up his hands, and accompanied the of-

 his preliminary examination. As the
 country from Metcalf to the Frisco is
 barren waste O. rocks, this Is con-
 sidered about the best piece Of trail
 ing ever done in this section.
