DAY OF EXCITEMENT
 AND VARIOUS RUN0RS
of CochiSe County in Pursuit of Elusive
 Tramp

The armed official strength of Co chise county was on the qui vive yes terday and the vicinity of Don Luis and Tintown was literally. bristling with 30-3O's and SIX shooters. In formation WAS received at Lowell yes, teTday morI ing at o'clock that tramp had attempted a criminal as- sault on sn sight-year-0ld Douglas girl Thursay night and that he had gone iu tne direction of Bisbee
 The Etessage, which was received at fke White House saloon, at Lowell, was given to Officers Hall and Bailey of Lowell and they notified the off. cers in Bisbee. Within half an hour after the receipt of the alleged in formation every Lowell and Bisbee officer was en route to Don Luis, where a suspicious looking man had been seen by a railroad section forc- man to leave a freight train.
 As the news spread over the dis trict the officials were joined by vol unteers, anxious to participate in man hunt.
 | Bisbee, seeing the hurried depart ! ure of the officers, armed to the ! teeth, immediately jumped to a con 1 clusion. Henry Hall, of Lowell had gone to Tintown to arrest g Mexican and had been surrounded in a corner and was even now, report said, bat ting for his life.
 Pretty soon a bulletin came in, by grapevine Hall had killed two Of the Mexicans and was slowly but surely fighting his way through an enraged army of Mexicars.
 A Mexican. picking his way care fully along the Tintown streets, said that that was not the trouble at all, that a man had stolen a little girl at Douglas and was in hiding in one of the canyons around TintOwn. Ahai a kidnaper.
 A man, standing guard on the rail road track, armed with a 3G-30, said that the man was a criminal assail ant. his victim an eight-year-old | Douglas girl He had received the news from Douglas over the tel. ephone.
 Deputy Sheriff Will White came up from Douglas about 10 o'clock and said that there had been no criminal assault in that town but that an un- known tramp had inveigled a little newsboy out to the edge of the city for the ostensible purpose of hunt ing rabbits and had attempted a crime.
 A description of the man wanted accompanied the message from Doug las and it answered 10 the descrip- tion of a man who had been seen by a railroad section foreman to leave a freight train at Don Luis and en- ter a canyon south of Tintown. This clue was followed up but none of the Blsbee or Lowell officers got a glimpse of the tramp.
 A dalryman coming up firm the Warren ranch was encountered v. Officer Bassett Watkins and asked if he had seen a tramp of the descrip, tion furnished by Douglas officers Yes, the daiTyman had passed such a man and if the officer would hurry he would be able to overtake him The officer overlook the man, who differed as much from the man want ed as Mutt differs from Jeff. The daiTyman, meeting a portion Of the anxious posse, said that he had | pointed the man out to Watkins and that the officer probably had the man by that time News of the outrage on the Douglas youth was telephoned and telegTaphed all over the county yesterday morn. ing and unless the assailant succeeds in getting across the international line, he will probably be caught.
