SUSPECTED MURDERER
 CAUGHT Al ROOSEVELT
C. 5. Couch Implicated in a Hyste-
 rious Killing at Globe.


 ger Holmes has added to his already creditabIe record the capture of C. $. Couch, a man wanted very badI, at Globe on several different charges. Early last week the man became en- gagged in a street fight at that place and was placed under arrest by tine officers but before they landed him in jail he gave them the slip and got ! away entirely.
 Early Thursday morning he again made his appearance, and succeeded in hiring a livery team before he was seen by the officers. Later they learn ed that he was the man they were looking for. and that he was making for Roosevelt. Word was teIephoned to Holmes here to look out for him and to apprehend him if possible. As was later learned, Couch drove the team as far as Summit, where it was his plan to leave it and there leave the road and come into town under cover of darkness. When discovered by Holmes. about three miles out, ne was skulking along the road appar- ently trying to dodge anyone he met but Holmes was too quick for him and just as he was about to get away the ranger quietly informed him that he
 
 brought the man to town and locked him up.
 When being searched prior to put ting him in jail for the night, Couch denied that he had ever been in Globe and moreover that he had ever had a fight in his life, and from his looks one would almost believe the latter to be true, for he is a meek-looking man. somewhat past middle age. He was held until Friday night when An dy Mayass, a constable from Globe, came with a warrant for his arrest. When asked regarding the mans case, Mir Mayass said that he was one of the most wanted and looked-for men in this part of the territory. and that when he returns to Globe he will have to face a most serious charge. prOba- bly that of murder. Some time ago there was q man killed there and the crime was laid at the door of several stone -masons. among them Couch, but the blame could not be definitely fixed : on any one man at that time. However, since then things have transpired which led the officers to believe that he is guilty, and that some other members of the gang are willing to give testimony to this ef- ! feet The outcome of the case will i be watched with great interest. Several business changes are re- ported from the notary's office during the past week, no less than five talk ing place Judge Evans states that not since his term of office began have things been in such a prosperous and flourishing condition as at the present time, which speaks well for the business of Roosevelt.
 Another serious runaway took place on Thursday of last week. when the work team of A. Moreno. a Mexican, took fright at the escaping steam from an engine belonging to O'ROurke & Company. and ran madly down the road. utterly demolishing the wagon and killing one of the horses. The place where the accident occurred is on the high line road and in order to pass this spot the teams must go between very high bank and a large donkey engine at the road side Often times this engine has blown off steam when teams have been passing, but fortunately this is the first serious ac- cident that has occurred. Moreno es- caped with only few scratches about the body
