For several days Under Sheriff Knad.
Ter has been in that section, with a
warrant for the arrest If Amber, it
having become known a day OF TWO
after the robbery that he would likely
prove the guilty party. Amber was
not about his Usual haunts, being fol
lowed step by step to the Quealey
ranch, where he has been in the habit
OF spending some of his time. The
officers found that he was at the ranch
and they spent all of Thursday night
in the vicinity, the cold rain wetting
them Il the skin and chilling them
almost into unconsciousness.
Yesterday morning early Amber
came out of the house and started to
a corral for the purpose of milking
COWS. Under Sheriff Knadler, who
was hidden near by, called to him to
throw up his hands. Amber glanced
in the direction from whence came the
sounds and beheld the muzZles of two
Winchester rifles and W shotguns,
and at once concluded that discretion
hands. He was promptly ironed, but
after the handouts were placed on his
wrists he refused to obey the COM
mands of the sheriff and was given a
touch of force, which rendered him
more docile and less inclined to kick
against the pricks.
Sheriff Knadler and his posse
reached at Quealcy ranch late at night.
Some of the members sought refuge in
the barn, Mr.. knadler himself secret
ing himself outside so as to command
a view of the whole situation. About
2:30 in the morning all the members,
of the posse had reached the scene
and were prepared for developments.
Quealey was himself the first to ap-
pear. He was promptly and quietly
taken into camp and told to remain
quiet. He had come out to saddle his
horse and ride away about his bust
ness. but was kept in the barn.
The next man to appear was a Fin
nish cook, who went by the barn to
his work. After daylight Amber came
to the doc and walked to the wood
pile, where he chopped some wood,
Mr.. Quealey believing that he had got
ten wind of the situation and intended
%fortifying himself in the house. This

house, and Mr.. Quealey could hardly
be restrained from interfering to pre-
vent this condition of affairs.
1t was not long before Amber again
made his appearance, this time head
ing for the COW corral for the purpose
of milking the cows. Mr.. Knadler
commanded him to throw up his
hands, and, looking about, Amber saw
that he was up against it and surren,
dered. He told the officer that thirty
seconds warning would have beer
plenty for him, and that he would have
been prepared to resist capture to the
bitter end.
Amber was brought to the city last
night, the party arriving on train No
+. He was taken at once to the county
Jail. He told Sheriff Reals today that
he wou1 prefer to have his hearing
held at Rock River, and the officers
will endeavor to accommodate him
thus far. They say they have a sure
case against Amber.
Amber. it will be remembered

three or four years ago, but was moi
punished, he having been able to show
that he had acted in self-defense

bad man for years in that neighbor
hood, the officers having their eyes or

killing of England. He is about s:
years of age, unmarried, and not given
