A Good Capture

Capt. Sixkiller made a slick capture last week at Weber Falls. He was after Alf Rushing, alias Ed Brown, wanted for the killing of Jackson Bartfeld in 1877, also for the murder of the city marshal of Wortham, Freestone, County, Texas. He received information that Brown was working near the Falls and had been for several years. As the Captain and Bill Drew came near the place where Brown was staying, they gathered up a bunch of cattle, and driving them up, asked permission to put them in a yard there for the night. The request was granted, and Brown was called from the crib where he was at work to help pen them. While driving them Sam worked around to where Brown was, and throwing down on him, took him completely by surprise, and he could offer no resistance. The cattle were then turned loose. Brown denies he is the man wanted by the officers, but they are certain they have the right party, and he is being held here awaiting the Texas officers.
