Once he is "located" the same method is followed in securing additional evidence or material in the nature of a confession or admission tending to establish guilt.

It doesn't do to be too confident, you know," smiled Peggy, throwing an arm round the waist of her enthusiastic friend. "As the man said when he thought he'd lassoed a horse but found he'd roped his own foot instead;" grinned Jimsy, "but, say, what's all this coming up the road?" Sure enough, a small crowd of ten or a dozen persons could be seen approaching the Prescott house.
The rangar disappeared into the crowd before the teams rode out for the fourth encounter, and Tess, who had made up her mind to watch the shuttered carriages that stood in line together in a roped enclosure of their own, became too busy with the game. Something had happened to the Rajputs.
Simon O'Rook, in particular, who, as we have said, did not send home any of his gold, had made such a huge "pile" that several strong boxes were required to hold all his wealth. The packing of these treasure-chests occupied but a short time.

Roped by a boy rider!" exclaimed Cal Blinn, fervidly. "Bostil, that rider is worthy of his horse," said Wetherby. "I think Sears would have bored you. I saw his finger pressing pressing on the trigger.
'Two to one is quite fair. But the boys hardly grunted as Mr. Wontner roped first one and then the other. Even when they were slid into the sacks they only mumbled, with rolling heads, through sticky lips, and snored on. 'Port? said Mr. Wontner virtuously. 'Nervous exhaustion. They aren't much more than kids, after all. What's next? said Stalky. 'I want to take 'em away with me, please.
Then it was seen that Ashby had been roped securely and was being led back to the railroad camp. "We've got the scoundrel, with four ropes hitched to him," called one of the captors. "One rope will be enough as soon as we can find a tree." The party was riding into the railroad camp now, and a dense crowd pressed forward to see the face of the keeper of the Mansion House.
Suddenly whirling into one great crimson column it shot to the top of the sky and threw great arms athwart the gloom until above the world and behind the roped and swaying form below hung quivering and burning a great crimson cross.
