REPORTED CAPTURE
Of JAC|NTO IREV|N0
WITH TRIPLE CRIME
COMMITTED 2 YEARS AGO
Alleged Slayer of Jim Darwin and
Officers Carnes and Lawrence Said
to Have Meen Taken, Though City
Marshal Denies Story.

Unless the sheriff of Cameron
county has been m~isinformed, 1t
looks at last as though JacintO Ire
vino-charged with the killing Of
Jim Darwin. engineer a. the San Be
nito pumping plant, Deputy Sheriff
Henry Lawrence and State Ranger
S. B. Carnes, and the w%ounding of
Ranger Earl WeSt-will be brought
to justice. Trevino is reported TO
have been taken Sunday by the Mex
lean rurales near Las Palmas ranch,
opposite the San Bentto pumping
plant. The various crimes with
which he is charged were committed
almost two years ago nea the San
Benito plant. The details of this
awful tragedy are still fresh in the
minds Of many Herald readers.
The murder Of jim Darwin. fol-
lowed soon after by the ambuscade
in which two of the officers who
were seeking to arrest Trevino were
slain, and two others wounded, con-
stitute a dark chapter in the his
tory of this border.
Jacinto Trevino was accused Of
the murder of Darwin and, when Of
ticers Lawrence and Carnes, led by
Pablo Trev;no. Jacinto T~revino's
cousin, penetrated the woods on the
fatal nigh of July 81, 1910, seeking
to arrest him. they were waylaid and
slain, Pablo Trevino being shot to
death at the same time.
The subsequent wounding Of
Ranger Earl West was never fully
explained, West having approached
the scene after the killing of Law
renee and Carnes. Ranger Pat
Craighead was also wounded the
same nigh. by a party of his own
frien- who mistook him for one Of
the enemy as he approached them in
the darkness.
The mystery Of that midnight am
buscade in the woods may now be
since he who is accused of
the triple crime is believed to have
been captured.
Sheriff q. T. Ryan yesterday in
formed the reporter that he had been
working to effect the capture Of
Trevino ever since the killing of the
officers. He received word recently
TrevinO had been seen near the
and notified the Mexican au-
thorities. He was very much
yesterday when notified chat
the arrest had been made, and said
that steps would be taken at once
to secure the extradition of the
prisoner. A large reward is out
standing for the capture and convlc-
ton of the murderer of Darwin and
Officers Lawrence and sGarnes.
Story of Arrest Denied.
Late last night City Marshal erik
ell informed a Herald reporter that
he had visited Matamoros yesterday
evening and had talked to the police
officers and to the officers of the ru-
rales and that both denied the re-
port Of the captude of Jacinto Ire
vino. Mr.. Crixell attributes the cir
culation of the report to a Statement
made by Nj. Hernandez, a member
1f the rurales who was on this side

Mr.. CriXell says that he talked to
hernandez after he (Hernandez) had

Sulzer drew his chair closer to the
