BALDY CREIGHTON
February 9, 1897

Kingman--The Indians who are on the trail of the man who robbed 
the westbound passenger train near Peach Springs last night at 
headed north toward the Grand Canyon; the robber riding a horse 
and leading another. It was snowing all da, making the trail dim.

It is supposed that Donovan, who held up the Southern Pacific and 
killed a messenger over a year ago, is concerned in the robbery.  
He is know to have been hiding near the Grand Canyon for a year.

The dead robber answers the description of one Baldy Creighton.  
He wore clothes and carried a rifle stolen from a rancher in the 
vicinity a month ago.

While robbing the train at Peach Springs, he was killed  by one 
A.C. Somers, messenger of Los Angeles.  The shot struck him in 
the left breast just below the heart.
