They are from Cimarron, New Mexico, and are notorious as defilers of the law. But for one of them being wounded the probability is they would have made good their escape. The Allison brothers were arrested by Sheriff Spiers at the Vandiver House a short time after the shooting. Clay Allison went out on the steps and fired at them when they fled. When the constable entered the hall to make arrest he had two or three assistants with him, but it appears they were of no service to him, for they fled into the street at the first shot. And again, just as the wounded man was about to be removed to the hotel, his brother tapped the corpse on the head, called his attention to it saying: 'John, there's the d-d sob that shot you, and I killed him.' It appears that a short time before Faber had demanded their arms and they had defied him to arrest them. An eye witness informs us that after the shooting, while John Allison was lying on a pallet, his brother dragged the body of Faber up near him and said 'John, here's the man that shot you look at this G-d d-d s-n of a b-h I killed him!'.

After Faber fell the Allison's continued to fire at his lifeless body. He was armed with a shot gun which he discharged about the same time, and from which John Allison received slight wounds. Last night about twelve o'clock, or a few minutes later (railroad time) Constable Charles Faber, in attempting to disarm John and Clay Allison, at the Olympic dance hall, was fired upon by both of them and fell at the first shot.
