The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
October 16th, 1869
LIEUTENANT D.A. KANE and a party of
troops from Camp McDowell , arrived at
Fort Whipple last Thursday afternoon
having in charge Jos- Johnson, who it is
said killed Sergeant McGovern, at this
place, on the night of the 20th
They also had in custody Wm. Collins ,
who was concerned in the terrible trag—
edy. Both Johnson and Collins were
immediately turned over to Sheriff
Taylor, who lodged them in jail to await
examination or the action of the Grand
Jury. They were captured by Lieutenant
McCleave ,

mountains ,
near Sacaton Station Gila
river, on the 8th inst. We believe the
Pima Indians trailed them to their
hiding place.
