Ranger Zeal Gets Noted One.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, July 10.
Mounted Policeman John A.
Beal arrived here this afternoon
on the Santa Fe Central, having
in custody Cage Riley. Riley
was captured at Endee, on the
Texas border, in Quay county.
Twelve indictments have been
found against him for stealing
cattle and horses, and it was
considered prudent to bring
him at once to Santa Fe and
lodge him in the penitentiary for
safe-keeping. Riley has success
fully evaded the officers in the
eastern portion Ct the territory
for the past two years and his
capture is considered one of the
most importantin the annals of
the mounted police. Officer Beal
was brought from Deming a
couple Of weeks ago and detailed
on the case, and is entitled to
much credit for the prompt man
ner in which he landed the fugi-
tive in the tolls of the law.
