Kid Holmes Captured!!!!
By Silas Furgenson - owner, Red Creek Tribune
The murdering outlaw Kid Holmes was brought to justice yesterday by Marshal Snake Johnson! In a daring ambush in the foothills the Marshal, and Deputy Shots Scafe were able to capture Holmes alive, while killing two of his men and freeing 3 young hostages. The day before the lawmen, along with Deputy John Roberts, arrested 4 other of Holmes' men, while Marshal Johnson shot down renown outlaw "Big Tom" Walkins in a fast draw.
Holmes, who it is reported is wounded and looking very much the worse for wear after his encounter with Marshal Johnson, is currently under lock and key in the town jail. Along with the other 4 men Deputy Roberts brought in, and Red Creek resident Johnny Cardwell, who is awaiting trial for co operating with the outlaw gang in stealing horses last month from the Circle M Ranch.
According to Doc Thomas, Holmes was shot in the leg, and sustained other injuries in a fall. Marshal Johnson was shot as well in the left arm, but is recuperating fine.
Fears and rumors are currently afloat in the town's saloons of a violent reprisal by Holmes' gang still on the loose in an attempt to free their leader. Deputy Roberts assures this paper that the lawmen, with help from Wyatt Mitchelson of the Circle M, are ready and prepared for any such event.
