I lo do with the hold-up of Will 'Dletriek
| Monday night. Scarbrough was indig-
nant when arrested and threatened lo
j bring damage suits against the city
for false imprisonment.
Detective Warden is waiting word
from ihe Wells-Fargo express agent at
Memphis in regard to a hold-up of a
Wells-Fargo agent in which the pris-
oner Is supposed to he the notorious
Tony Ward who figured in the crime
and at which time about fifty thous-
and dollars was taken. Ward's history
is one filled with crimes. If this he
Ihe right man he is wanted at Fort
Worth for the murder of a gambler
there in 1901. The gambler was slug-
ged and afterwards shot and robbed.
He had considerable money nnd dia-
monds. The deed was committed at
the man's own gate just as he was go-
ing home for the night. A man by
the name of Fox was arrested for the
crime and convicted and is now serv-
ing a term in the Texas penitentiary.
However, it was not thought from the
first that he was the right man though
he was convicted under circumstan-
tial evidence. Friends have been at
work for his release and a writ of ha-
beas corpus for his release is now
pending in the supreme court of that
state.
Another crime that Ward is charged
with is the killing of his father-in-
law. He was married in Las Vegas,
N. M., under the name of Scarbrough,
the same as given at the police head-
quarters here. His wife did not find
out who he was until after the mar-
riage and when she did there was
trouble, in which the woman's father
took the daughter's side. Ward at-
tempted to kill the father, then, but
failed. His wife secured a divorce and
Scarbrough left the country. He af-
terwards met his former father-in-law
in Arizona, and, it iff said, killed him
there. For this crime he is wanted.
Ward is also wanted for another hold-
up of the Wells-Fargo express agent at
Willard, Kan., when about $18,U00 was
secured from the company.
That Scarbrough and Ward are one
and the same there seems lo 'be no
doubt. Detective Warden is waiting
for word from Memphis, and this in-
formation will do much toward the
identification of the prisoner. Mr. War-
den was a resident of Texas when the
crimes with which Ward is charged
wero committed, and he is well ac-
quainted with the circumstances. Ward
is noted as one of the boldest robbers
and murderers in the entire west.
Although Ward is detained here only
on a charge of vagrancy he will be
i i_j| „ , -—- .held until a photograph said to be

train was pulling Into Wybark, the
negro porter, whose name Is Jack Rip-
per, was shot and badly wounded. Both
barrels of a shotgun were fired at close
range, the shells being loaded with No.
6 shot, many of them lodging in Rip-
per's face.
Ripper was brought to town and
given medical treatment, and the
j shooter got away.
It is 1 lie opinion of the officers that
the wguld-be assassin intended to shoot
the conductor who stepped out right
behind the porter.
