"Three young men".....were brought in and turned over to the Sheriff....this morning by Constable Crow, of Riddle precinct, for burglarizing the house of Moses Ryan, section foreman of the Southern Pacific Co, at that place."

"About one o'clock this morning the men broke into the house and took a pair of trousers, a shirt, a lot of provisions and a six shooter. They then went south along the railroad track until they arrived at the Salt Creek water tank about 10 miles from Riddle, where they stopped to wait for the next train. In the mean time Constable H. A. Crow, of Riddle, was notified of the burglary and started in pursuit on Foreman Ryan's hand car, after having telephoned to the section foreman at Salt Creek to be on the look for the three men. When they reached Salt Creek, Constable Crow saw three men in the brush a short distance from the track and he immediately went to them and arrested them. Upon examination they proved to be the right men, having in their position the things taken from the house at Riddle.

in the absence of the, Justice of the Peace, they plead guilty before the City Reorder at Riddle and were brought down this morning and turned over to Sheriff H. T. McClallen for safe keeping until the October term of the Circuit Court, when their case will be heard."
