A BRAVE DETECTIVE.

Officer &. C. Brown le a Terror to Border Outlaws. Twelve years In Chicago aa a detective and regular patrolman admirably fitted Officer H. C. Brown, now sta-

tinned in Denver, for active work among the outlaws of Colorado and New Mexico. Thanks to Mr. Brown’s zeal In tracing criminals, he was compelled to depart from southern Colorado, and there Is a JI,OOO prize awalt-

Ing the first man who will bring his head to the New Mexico White Caps. In April of last year, Brown, Deputy Sheriff William Green and William Kelley were called upon to arrest cattle thieves who were carding on extensive threats In the San Isidoro country, not far from Las Animas, in southern Colorado. Both Green and Kelley were killed and their murderers are reported to have received the JI,OOO sums promised for their dead bodies. Mr. Brown was wise enough to leave the country. He is persistent in his declarations that the White Caps were behind the opposition to the law. The valiant survivor of these various frays is now traveling one of the most desperate districts In Denver.

H. C. BROWN.
