 Leach, in the meantime, had left the train at Prescott, and during his stay in that town spent money quite lavishly. He left the follow ing morning (Tuesday), saying he was going to Fl Paso, where his wife lives.
 Immediately on receiving Erke's note, the publisher of THE NEWS telegraphed Sheriff Francis, who was in Flagstaff, his suspicious hat Leach was the guilty party md asking that he be apprehended The sheriff immediately started for re.cott,arriving there the next day But the bird had flown. The de lay in getting out the necessary legal papers in order to bring him from another state in the event of capture, gave the culprit additional time, and when the sheriff reached Fl Paso he learned that Leach had gone to the City of Mexico.

Leach is about 40 years >f age. nearly 6 feet in height. light complexion. blue eyes, and weighs about 15O pounds. He had severa weeks growth of beard when last here. His hair and beard are sand y md he is slightly bald. A reward ,f $2OO has been offered by Sheriff Francis for his arrest and conviction
