HELD UP THE SHERIFF
BOLD CRIPPLE CREEK OUTLAWS
sheriff Bell and Deputy Held at Point
Of Revolvers Until Aid Comes.


Denver. May 16.-A Republican spe-
cial from Cripple Creek last night
says:
James Warford. Walter Henley and
John Chapman, three men recently dis
charged from the county jail, held up
the sheriff and his deputy, Thomas Un
derwood, about midway between the
county Jail and the sheriff's Office at
1880 O'Clock this morning
Sherin Bell had ordered the arrest OF
chapman for carrying concealed weap-
onS. The sheriff took revolver from
him and ordered Deputy Underwood to
take him to jail. On the way the man
drew another weapon, turned on the
deputy, and told him to throw up his
hands. Sheriff Bell went to see what
was the trouble, when he was held up
by James Warford. Warford is the
man who shot and instantly killed
Chris Miller and Ike Liebo, two West
ern Federation leaders, at the polling
place in Goldfield, November Sth. Ken
ley Is said to have been former part
ner of Tom Horn.
With the officers covered, the three
men marched them toward the county
Jail, telling them they wanted the guns
that were taken from them. They
changed their minds, however. and
backed away, keeping the officers COW
cred. They passed up Bennett avenue
and started toward Anaconda.
Within few minutes posse had
been formed and went in search of
them. They were located near the Gold
Bond property, and after a shot or two

dered to throw up their hands. Henley
returned the fire, standing in the open,
but Warford stumbled and fell down a
steep hill, nearly cracking his skull.
Seeing that they were surrounded,
they threw up their hands and sur
rendered, but not until Underwood,
who arrested Henley. had hit the latter
over the head with a gun. When told
that he ought to be killed, he remarked
to the sheriff:
It's up to you"
Three revOlvers were taken from
Warford and two each from the other
two men. They were brought back to
the city and taken to the county Jail,
surrounded by strong force of depu-
ties. Had any of the posse been in
jured, this trio of desperadoes undoubt-
edly would have met summary ven
geance.
Warford and Henley were released
recently from the county jail. Warford
was tried on a charge Of murder, but
the jury disagreed and the case was
dismissed. Chapman and Kenley We're
charged with robbing an assay Office,
but it was believed impossible to con-
vict them, also.
Thomas Seaman, partner of Chap
man and Henley, was sentenced by
Judge Seeds to-day to ten months in
the county Jail, to pay fine of $3.50
and to stand committed until the fine
is paid. Scanlan was convicted of a
brutal assault upon c. F. Perkins in
Victor last October.
A charge of resisting an officer and
assault with intent to kill will be
placed against the trio and there will
be no delay in bringing them to trial.
