ARRESTED ATFER MONTHS OF DODGINGYesterday morning Mountec Policeman Rafael Gomez came down from' Moriarty bringing with him Homer Irwin, who has been under indictment in the district court since last December, but who had escaped arrest, Sheriff Meyer had made^frequent visits to Moriarty for the purpose of serving the warrant, but his man always eluded him, He asked Captain Fornoff that Gomez be Bent down to get the man, thinking a stranger would be more successful. Gomez arrived in Moriarty but could not locate Irwin. He boarded the train for Santa Fe, but got off at Stanley and came back. In the mean time he had a man on guard. Returning after night, Gomez learned that his man was in town. Calling at the home, he was told that the young man had left town, but Gomez would not take this as truth and told them that he knew better. After some parleying he found his man, who had been secreting himself in a barn.Irwin is wanted for having knifed a man, Sharon, in a saloon at Moriarty. His side of the story is that Sharon hit him over the head with some blunt instrument, and that he used the knife in self defense. Sharon way laid up with several slashes in hfs back, claimed to have been made by Irwin. The only eye witness to the'struggle has died since ’ the grand jury indicted Irwin.It seems a little queer that a man should elude the officers for six months, if he had acted in self defense, although this maybe the case. Irwin gave bond yesterday evening for his appearance at^the next term of the district court. He may now live on his homestead without fearing the peace officers.51a;thei; real The in ac tione a splt; toun ted i iave x) tei rarifi ico, a comn t is ment sever other rip Barth hem raitte deteri air )een le piThe eclips leld h arge and i numb will t exhib qoe ir The fair a annou in Ma Paso i querq all th great The has e stronj that t Texas eclips fair w -AlbGall
