Gov. Zultek May~ She will be Vigo- Feualy Proceeded Against, Prescots, Jan. 4, 1887. Sate of the Treasury of Apache County Robbed of $11,166.54 by Five Masked Men, fot. Johns Herald. On Sunday evening about 7 o'clock five masked men went to the house of Francisco Bata, deputy treasurer, and forcing in the door, made a rush for the bed where he was sleeping, and grabbing his pants, commenced searching the pockets, taking the keys of the in side door and vault of the safe. They then at the point of the pistol compelled him, to get up and dress; two of the pai ry remaining to prevent the inmates from giving an alarm. The others took him to the treasurer’s room in the court house and compelled him to open the safe, the outside doors of which is worked by a combination lock. After the safe had been opened the robbers ransacked the contents, taking over eleven thousand dollars in cash, about two thousand of which was in gold and silver coin. At the time there was over five thousand dollars in checks which the robbers did not get, probably not wishing to take the risk of negotiating them, they all being for sums ranging from $100 to $900. After taking the funds from the safe, the robbers went out the door of the treasurer’s room, and Mr. Baca immedi ately gave the alarm, but the night being dark and stormy, no trace could be found of them. As near as can be ascertained the guard who stopped at the house of Mr. Baca, left about the same time as did the persons who did ,the robbery at the court-house. The robbery was evidently , well planned, as every movement seems to have gone as smooth as clock works the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour. The safe in which the county money is kept is of the Baird make, combination lock on the outside doors, with inside or clay doors, and an inside screw door, iron and steel vault, to which is fastened a fine-lock attachment, but the latter has never been put in working order since its arrival here. Up to the present time, as far as we can learn, no news has been obtained as to who the robbers were, what direc tion they took, or whether they have left the town or not. Although the night was stormy and it had rained just before the robbery, no tracks have been found, leaving the town in any direction, the en tire town having been circled just after day-break the next morning. Deputy Sheriff Tom Hubbell, with a party of men have been almost constant ly in the saddle since Monday morning scouring the country for miles around, with hopes of getting some clue or infor mation as what manner the robbers left the town and in what direction. Several warrants have been issued di recting the sheriff to search houses both in St. Johns, Springville and adjacent ranches, but returns from those executed fail to elicit any clue. Warrants have been issued for the ar rest of several parties, on suspicion of being implicated in the robbery. Five arrests have so far been made, with war rants out for several more. The gentle men who have been so unfortunate as to be arrested on suspicion of being con nected with the robbery are Messrs. Phin Clanton, Ike Clanton, Ebin Stanley and Lee Renfrow, of Springville, and Mr. Buck Henderson, of St. Johns. These gentlemen will probably have a hearing on Friday or Saturday, the di trict attorney not being able to get the information desired or witnesses before that time. District ATTORNEY SAVAGE, Womb stone, SNR—The squaw reported cap tured with the stolen horses of Sandy Bob should be promptly confined in the county jail and proceeded against vig orously according to law, which recog nizes no distinction of race or sex for crime. C.
