 CAPTURED
Arizona Rangers Have Hard Chase After
 Dick Sidello
dFrom Saturdays pany)


 Alter desperate chase. lasting twelve days, through the mountain re. gions of this and Coconino county, Lieutenant Olds of the Arizona Rang. CTS, and Ranger Wilson, arrested Dick Sidcllo, wanted in Albuquerque, x. M., on murder charge, and lodged him safely behind the bars of the county jail here yesterday. The arrest was ef. fected Thursday.
 Sidcllo stabbed man in Albuquer. que year ago, his victim afterward dying. At the time the knife wicldcr made his escape from the city and since then has been sought by the of iicers of both Territories. sheriff Per fecto Armijo of Bernalillo county, New Mexico, K expected to arrive here in n few days for the prisoner.
 When arrested by Lieutenant Olds Sidello expressed willingness to re. turn to Albuquerque and face the charge, without the formality of eS. tradition, but beyond that he refused Co discuss the affair, other than to de. clare it was mp to the New Mexico au- thorities to prove him guilty.
 Sidcllo is considered "bad hombre." He served n term in the penitcn,iary at santa Fc, N. M., on n larceny charge, and has been mixed up in several knife affrays, as two scars from knife cuts, one m inch long on the top of his head, and another on the right side of his chin, testify. It was principally through these scars that his identification was made com plctc by the Rangers.
 His presence in Yavapai county was first learned by Captain Fred Fornofi of the New Mexico Rangers, through n letter Sidcllo mailed at the Cottonwood postofiice to friend in the sister Ter ritory. Captain Fornoff immediately communicated with Lieutenant Olds, informing him of Sidello's location, and the charge on which he was wanted. Officers Olds and Wilson left Flagstaff on the lith for Cottonwood, | but on their arrival there learned that their bird had flown. They traced him to Cordes, and from there to Congress, where it was reported he had charge of flock of sheep for Coconino con. ccrn. Arrived at the latter place dis appointment again greeted the officers, as sidcllo had again skipped. After several days of trailing the persistent Rangers discovered their man hordiBg goats within n short distance of Var nell and promptly took him into GUS tody, Sidcllo offering no resistance. The officers then rode to Kirkland with their prisoner, staying there Thursday night and coming here yesterday.
 During the stay of the Rangers and prisoner in Kirkland a number of young men of that community gathered to gaze upon the alleged desperate murderer, among them being Georg, RieTc, who, in a jocular way, remarked to his companions that he had "gur on |" and that if the prisoner attempted to escape he would take hand in cap turing him. After Sidello was pro vided with quarters for the night Of fccr Olds stepped into saloon, and was glancing over a copy of the Jour nal Miner when RieiIc entered, tho butt of the revolver he had previously boasted of having on his person show ing plainly from under his coat. Be fore he was aware of it he, also, wni under arrest for carrying concealed weapons, and was brought here yester day, with Sidello. He was arraigne' before Justice Mclane and sentenced to ten days in jail and to pay fn' of SEQ He declares he'll never bral again about having gun on.
