 tor Taylor was brought to town, where his wounds were dressed and in 20 minutes from that time, Officers linus and Harris were on the scene and after the culprit. They worked through the country until nearly one o'clock without being able to locate him. They then came back to town and after further questioning the Chamagne boy, who had been locked up in the county jail, Deputy Harris left for Ash Fork on the theory that Long would catch freight going east.
 When morning came Deputy Sher- if linus put four Indian trailers on the boys tracks. They trailed him around through the hills and back down to the railroad track, strength ening the theory that he had boarded freight.
 Sunday night between sundown and dusk Harris, who had posted himself a little this side of the yards at Ash Fork, saw boy get off of freight train, a mile down the track. It had been the intention of Long to cut out Ash Fork entirely and cut across to the Peavine and board freight for Phoenix. Harris had outguessed him at his game and was down where he thought he would get off the train. Harris kept himself under cover until the boy was within a couple of hun drcd yards of him, and then started walking slowly in the same direction Long was going, so as to not scare him away. Pretty soon Long caught up with Harris. He asked his name. Long replied, "Jim Smith," Harris then said, ''No, that isn't your name: You're too nice a looking kid to have name like that" and snapped the bracelets on him. He took him to the Ash Fork jail and then told him that he had better tell him the truth because that jail burned two or three times week and it wasn't safe. The jail is a nice little fireproof affair, but Long didn't think of that and so came through with the truth and told him that he had tried to kill the doctor to get his car. He was brought back here Tuesday morning. The whole job was well handled by the officers. With the adds against them they land ed their man twenty-four hours after the attempted murder. The odds were against them because a man who is riding a freight train has all the best of it.
 Inasmuch as Long is under age his case will have to be tried in Judge Bollinger's court and it is understood that the judge has the right to call a jury and have a juvenile tried on a felony. The judge will determine this phase of the question upon his return from hunting trip and Long's case will come up in the near future.
 Longs age was determined through investigation at Fort Grant, from which institution he was on parole. He was sent to Fort Grant for stab ping another boy. Long admits he is "bad man" and that he has an "aW- ful temper" He referred the officers to his record in Phoenix if they did not believe this. It is evident that Long is short several good spankings that he deserved a few years back. But this last crime puts the case be- yond the spanking phase and develops into an attempted cold blooded mur- der.
 Dr. Taylor, who is a Brownwood, Texas, man, so far has not suffered any bad effects from his wounds and will go on to his home as soon as he has served as witness here.
