Arizona Silver Belt-June 26, 1888
In the case of three of the Agua Zarca train robbers, vengeance has followed
close upon the heels of crime.  Taylor has been delivered to the Mexican
authorities and his doom, therefore is no longer in doubt.  Two of his
accomplices, Manuel Robles and Nieves Mirander and a brother of the former,
Guadalupe Robles, who was not implicated in the robbery it is said, were
surprised in camp in the Whetstone Mountains, twenty five miles west of
Tombstone on Wednesday morning of last week, by Sheriff Slaughter and Deputy
Alvord and in the fight which followed the robbers refusal to surrender
Guadalupe Robles was killed and Manuel Robles and Nieves Miranda were badly
wounded.  Manuel Robles managed to escape but was being closely followed and his
capture is probable.
