CITY AND COUNTY NEWS.
end
Shorlff Salisbury rccolvicd a. wire
last night from C. L. Pattorson, head
of tho Union Pacific secret service nt
Denver, stating that a Mexican is be
ing held In that city, who corresponds
to tho description of tho ono wanted
for tho murder of Officers Mecomber
and Rogers. The sheriff Is asked to
send somo ono to Denver to Identify
tho man. This morning Shorlff Salis
bury called up tho secret service of
fico In Denver for the purposo of giv
ing additional Moscrlptlon of tho man
wanted. Tho man hold In Denver
gives his name as Banda, but this Is
probably an alias, as the man wanted
Is known to have gone under a half
dozen different names.
Sheriff Salisbury had not succeeded
In getting tho Denver offlco up to tho
time Tho Tribune went to press. Tho
only persons who could positively
Ideaitlfy the man wanted are Mexi
cans, and tho sheriff has somo doubt
as to whether ho could with safety
send them to Denver to Identify the
man held.
