Trailed by detectives of a fire insurance company, Frank Danes was soon
caught and brought back to Arizona. He was fairly convicted of having
set the old Cactus House on fire, though he could not be persuaded to
admit himself an agent of the Colthwaite Company. Fred Ransom, the
other agent, is believed to be still in the employ of the Colthwaite
Company's "gloom department."
Mr. Hawkins is still in the employ of the A., G. & N. M. So are foremen
Bell, Rivers and Mendoza.
