Noted Desperate Captured.

Pueblo.-Tom Carr, the ex-convict
and desperado, who is wanted here on
serious charge upon the complaint
of his stepdaughter, Edith Carr, and
who was arrested in Ell Paso, Tex,
about week ago, reached Pueblo
Tuesday in charge Of Sheriff Mcmillan.
Soon after his arrival here Carr was
taken into justice court and arraigned
on a charge Of criminal assault. He
pleaded not guilty and being unable
to furnish bail. was taken to jail to
await trial.
The story Of Carr's sensational es-
cape and subsequent capture sounds
like tale of the old West. On leav-
ing Verde, after escaping from Deputy
Sheriff Burrows, he rode horse which
is the property Of Chief Of Police Nc
Cafferty Of Pueblo. as far as Alamosa,
where he traded 1t for two bronchos.
In crossing the range near Alamosa
both his feet were badly frozen, but
he kept going until he reached Santa
Fe, N. NJ, where he took train for
Ell Paso. He Immediately crossed
over into Old Mexico, but his descrip-
ton from Pueblo had preceded him
and by clever ruse q plain clothes
man lured him back to Ell Paso, when
he was Immediately arrested. Carr
seems to be heartbroken. but stoutly
maintains his innocence.
