 passed through Prescott yesterday ia
 the custody of the officers.
 Details of Starr's careers and arrest
 are pictured graphically in the follow
 ing story from the Phoenix Republi-
 can:
 The capture of Starr was effected at
 Bouse by Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis,
 assisted by Deputy Billy Wilson of this
 county and Deputy W. c. De Spain, of
 Yuma county.
 There are two crimes for which
 Starr is immediately wanted-the hold,
 up of the Bank of Amity, Powers coun-
 ty, Colo, on July of last year, and
 the hold-up of the Bank of Tyro, Kan,
 on March 13 of that year. Starr's part
 ner in both crimes was fKid' Wilson,
 another well-knowns Oklahoma despera-
 do, whose home is at Tulsa. Starr's
 people live at Ekiatook, a few miles
 from Tulsa.
 On Monday, Sheriff J. A. Simpson,
 of Lamar, Colo, and s. W. Fenton, of
 Cleveland, Okla, an officer of that state, and a former well-known deputy
 United States marshal of that district, arrived in the city. They had positive
 information that Starr and Wilson were at Rouse. .
 A warrant of arrest for a fugitive from justice was issued, and Deputies Davis and Wilson, accompanied by Sheriff Simpson and MT Fenton, left for Bouse. It was certain that Starr would recognize Mr. Fenton, who knows him and his people, and 1t was probable that he would also recognize the Colorado sheriff Accordingly, those two officers left the train at Vieks- burg, and the deputies went on to Bouse. They acquainted Deputy De Spain with the nature of the errand, and it was soon learned that Starr, who called himself LaFollette, had gone to the postofice. The three officers found him there, and Deputy Davis threw his gun down on him. For all the visi- ble effect that the hostile move had, he might as well have aimed the weapon at a statue. There was not flicker of the eyelid as he gazed steadfastly at the officer. He then glanced at Deputy Wilson, who held a cooked weapon at him, still unmoved. Then he smiled slightly, looked over his shoulder, and saw a revolver in the hands of De Spain.
 "It's all right,' he laughingly said 'I haven't thing on me-" He asked for what particular crime he was want ed, and where. When the deputy, af- ter he had been searched and had been found to be unarmed, showed him the he swore that it was defect we, and that he would never be taken ,n that document
 For the first time he exhibited bad emper. Turning to the sheriff, he said, with an appearance of ehagrin of hav- ng been trapped so easily: eff I had lad my gun, you would not have taken ne"
 At Vieksburg, Sheriff Simpson and dr. FentOn entered the train. As soon s Starr saw the latter, he recognized i'm, and no longer attempted to prae- ice deception. He asked MT. Fenton oneerning his family, relatives and friends, and he was especially curious o learn how Mr. Fenton knew where Q look for him. 'I had a telegram" -as the reply of MT. Fenton.
 Before the arrival of the train from 'ouse, Starr said that he would waive proceedings, so as to save s much time as possible.
 Starr is handsome fellow of thirty sven years. He is three-quarters Cher kee, his father having been a half reed French and Cherokee. This ad- fixture of Caucasian was sufficient to we him regular and handsome ,atures. He is well educated.
 The career of Starr has been tumult- 'us. He knows what it is to stand in e shadow of the gallows. He was ice under sentence of death. Shortly fore the time set for his execution, escaped from the jail at Fort Smith. fter some negotiations with the 1ited States authorities, he surrender and a compromise was entered into which he was given unrestricted and disturbed freedom. Starr has a wife d three children.
