Horn valley a few miles from Thermo-

The three rode cautiously upon the
ruffian and succeeded in getting
drop on him before he was aware of
their presence, and upon being ques-
toned as to the identity and where
abouts of his partner he refused to
utter a single word, in fact he has
remained silent ever since he was cap
tured.
Upon his person were found q re-

nown to be the same as that taken
