Captured by Officers.
 DOUGLAS, Feb. .4.-"Give her more ,iuice. Percy" exclaimed Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler to Deputy Bowden at 4:30 this morning as the two officers in their Oldsmobie runabout plunged through the darkness of Silver Greek in pursuit of fastly-receding automo- bile loaded with ten cases of whiskey and containing three men.
 It was dark and there was foot of water in Silver Creek As the pur- sued and pursuing cars tore through the dismal recesses of the dark can yon. they threw great sprays of water in every direction Faster and faster they wen. each car with the trottle wide open. Once the sheriffs car lost lsight of it's prey and it looked like lost race. but just at the west end of the creek, after a chase of nearly a mile. during the last part of which the sherif's car made 90 miles an hour, 1 Wheeler overlook his prey and ended the most exciting chase in the history of the dry regime in Cochise county, and chase which netted the second biggest haul.
 Let's of Old Jordan.
 In the car, which was Maxwell run 1 about and which made game race, were D. c. Akers, s. A. Parrish and D. Nance. all of Bisbee, as well as ten 1 cases of Old Jordan whiskey. Previ- ous to this capture the officers had ar rested Joe Sechin and Joe Pylant, also of Bisbee, in Ford ear with ten cases of Old Jordan. The total haul was 20 cases. or 4S0 pint bottles of eight year old whisky. This is the same amount Isecured from Andy Johnson last week | and is exceeded only by the 2S cases captured last fall from Messrs. Brown erd Aaron. Curiously enough, both hauls were made at Silver Creek. Wheeler and Bowden slipped away from Tombstone at s o'clock last night and drove rapidly to Silver Creek, where they began an all-night vigil. 1 Their watch was rewarded at i O. ! clock when Sechin and Pylant hove in sight over the horizon. It was the work of only a moment to stop them | and place them in the sheriff's car, | meanwhile parking the Ford at the l side of the road. for at this moment | the Maxwell was sighted coming from the east.
 The Chase.
 Wheeler feared. that the approach | ing car might see him. turn around | and race back across the state line. ! So. with his prisoners in the back seat ! Bowden at the wheel and himself or the running board, he opened up f. speed ahead When the cars met tho ] Maxwell wouldn't stop and the Old l mobile couldn't, it was going so rasi
 After slowing down and turnins g. round as quickly as possible. the Ghe-- if began the pursuit, though tl2 con ! traband runners had big star.
 the race began that ended mile fur i 'her west with victory for the sheriff. | During the run through the creek Bow i den lost his hat and the car was plung | ing so rapidly through the rocks and | water that Wheeler. standing on the l running board, had to be held on by l one of the prisoners inside. His watch was broken and one of his ribs | may prove to be in the same fix.
 The two carloads of booze were | -....uA. . .o,,-,, o,d ,,artrad hotuaaD l the city hall and the big platform Of ] the Phepls Dodge store. It attracted l more attention this morning than any l similar haul since the state went dry, hundreds of people looking sadly on | the hundreds of bottles of Old Jordan | piled in sacks and valises.
 Bonds Set At s1,ooo.
 Owing to the fact that today is a | legal holiday it was impossible to ar raign the five men, though their bonds | were placed at s1,00O each. They will | be arraigned tomorrow morning at g | o'clock and will be given preliminary | examinations unless they desire to | waive This morning several of the | nen expected to make bond before | tie day was over. Joe Pylant owns | the Ford car and operates it as for hire ear. with headquarters at Naco. It is pe same car that he and Drs. Thigpsel and Miller were in when they wer taken prisoners by Villa last November.
 Pylant claims he was merely hired by Sechin ant had nothing to do with bringing in the whisky The booze is supposed to haze come from Rodeo
 During the day all five of the pri- soners made bond except Sechin and Nance and the latte expected 10 se- cure bond before nigh,
 12 Cases Destroyed.
