turn up in the future that will
give more light on their history.
Sheriff Houck telegraphed to
Flagstaff for a coroner, who
came down that night on No. 2
and held an inquest over the
body. The jury exonerated the
sheriff.
The sum of S117,45 was found
on Shaw and S154. 90 was taken
from Smith. This is ABOUT the
amount that they took. Smith
said that they were the only
ones implicated.
Smith was brought here on
No. 2 that night by Deputy
Pemberton and is now at the
Navajo under the care of the
County Physician. He is i'm
proving rapidly and will prob
ably be taken to Holbrook next
week, after he is given a pre-
liminery hearing.
That the two officers esca ped
alive was certainly miracle.
Smith says that the only way
he can figure it out is that the
officers were in the right and
that they were in the wrong.
He also states that it was their
intention to either wound or
scare Pemberton aud to kill the
sheriff, They had it figured out
that Houck would fight, and
that PEN berton would run as
soon as the firing commenced,
but that is where they made
their fatal mistake, as Pete was
right there in the thiCkest of
the fight and proved that he
was not a tenderfoot.
The coroner buried Shaw, but
a party went from here Monday
to dig him up and take his pic
ture. 1t may be that there are
big rewards offered for them, as
they are undoubtedly old at the
business at which they made
their last stand.

ONE KILLED;
ONE WOUNDED
That il the Sequel to the Story
OF the HOld-up in the wig
VAIN Last Saturday.

After the hold-up in the Wig
wan Saloon last Saturday
morning Sheriff Houck was no
titled by wire, and Constable
Ketchum Immediately began to
search for the robbers around
town, but be could not get any
sign that would lead to their
discovery.
Pete Pemberton was sworn IN
as an officer and he left early
that morning for Flagstaff on a
freight for the purpose of going
over all trains. HOuCk came
through on No. l and went to
Flagstaff also, while Ketchum
went to Holbrook to search all
trains.
Houck and Pemberton started
back here on a freight, thinking
that the robbers were near here.
At Sunshine the head brakeman
said that be had noticed two
men hiding in the brush about
a mile this side of Canyon Dia
bio. The officers telegraped to
the latter place and had two sad
die horses sent down to them,
and when they reached Canyon
Diablo they found out that two
strangers were eating supper in
the section house. About $50
%. m. these men came from the
section house and walked up the
track. HouCk stopped them,
stating that he wished to talk
to them. Pemberton then went
to interview the section fore
man. He came to where HOuck
and the men were standing,
which was near the northeast
corner of Volz's warehouse. and
asked them if they had noticed
a couple of men ahead of them
and they said they had. Houck
says, II I'll just search you fell
lows anyway and one of them
stepped back and says, Not
me, at the same time pulling
his siX-shoOter and shot at
Houck, who lodged and the
bullet went through the lower
part of his coat. Houck drew
his six shooter and shot him in
the abdomen. The robber back
ed off around the east side of
the warehouse, at the same time
he emptied his gun at HouCk.
While he was doing this Houck
shot him twice through the left
hand. The robber got behind
the building, put three cartridg
es in his gun and wrapped up

for the canyon. Houck was
then by the northwest corner of
the building. and he ordered
the rObber to throw up his
hands. He acted as though he
intended to, but instead he was
getting ready to shoot at the
sheriff. Houck then took good
aim and shot the man through
the temple at distance of six
ty yards. He dropped and new
er made another move.
In the meantime PembertOn
and the other robber engaged
in a battle with six -shoterS. AS
soon a HOuCk and his man be-
gan to exchange compliments,
the robber shot at Pemberton S
right shoulder with the inten-
ton of Gripping him in such a
manner as to keep him from be-
ing able to shoot, but the bullet
only tore through his coat.
Pemberton emptied his gun at
him. the first bullet hitting him
in the left wrist; the second one
struck him in the right arm,
which kept him from stooting
any more. Another bullet en-
tered the robbers right hip.
He then saw that they were
beaten and he started down the
track, but only went a little
distance dpd sat down, but he
still had his gun. At this time
the officers guns were both
empty as they had missed a
a shot or two in the battle.
Houck procured a double bar
relied shotgun from the station
agent and started after the fell
low that was alive. HOuck
threw down on him and ordered
him to move away from his gun.
He didn t move but says, I'm
all in. - Houck said, Il killed
one of you fellows and if you
don move I'll kill you too"
He got up end moved III a doub-
le-quick hurry and be was then
a prisoner. That ended one of
the worst fights that has ever
taken place in Northern Ari-
zona, and two deperate charac-
ters were brought to justice by
two brave and efficient officers.
The man that was put under
arrest gave their names as w.
Smith and John Shaw, the lat
ter being the one that was kill
led. It is rather doubtful as to
whether these are their right
names or not. Smith claims
that they have lived in Arizona
for a number of years, and he
also states that Shaw was once
a cowboy in Oklahoma. Very
