Killed While Resisting an Officer--
A Death Struggle.

| firearms, and that man was killed
In the latter part of August last, a
Mexican named Oreol Estrada went
into the house of F. Billings, at Camp
Mcdowell, when there was no one in
but Mr.. BIS wife, of whom the deses-
perado demanded what money there
was on the premises-some $500. She
refused to comply, whereupon the fell:
low proceeded to cash her head and
face in a frightful manner, with big
knife-one cut extending from her
forehead to her chin, and to the bone,
leaving her face shockingly SCARED
for life. Both escaped-the one with
her life, the other from justice, until
last Tuesday morning, when Consta ble
John Miller discovered Oreol Estra-
da in Tucson, and took him before
Justice Meyers, who held him to ap-
pear before the next grand jury. While
the officer was in the act of taking
the prisoner to Jail ON this order, the
latter requested that he be permitted
to stop at house on the way, near
the plaza, to get his blankets. The
request was granted. The prisoner
stepped inside, and in manner be-
hind the door, while the officer stood
in the door, trusting that all would be
right. Instead of picking up the
blankets, however, the prisoner got
hold a of Spencer carbine and presented
it at the officers breast and he at
tempted to shoot; but as it happened,
there had been a cartridge thrown
iuto the gun unbeknown to the man,
and he attempted to throw another in,
and thus failed to kill Mr.. Miller.
When he (the prisoner) saw this, he
sprang upon the officer, and a desperate
struggle ensued. Miller thought the
man had a knife, and as soon as he
could, drew his pistol and commenced
shooting. The first shot came near
going through his own head, as the
desperate knocked the weapon in
that direction. The powder burnt Mr..
Miller's face In the wrestle, four
shots were fired by the officer, two of
which would have proven fatal. One
ball passed through the coating of
the heart. Estrada got away notwith-
standing, and run around the corner
about one hundred yards, before fall
ing. He dropped dead in the door of
a little house opposite Major Aldrich's
corral.
Justice Meyers held an inquest on
the body at once, and an examination
Of officer Miller Wednesday morning,
ended the affair. Mr.. Miller was held
to have been justified in the action
he took. He considers it good les
son, however, as he will hardly ever
permit a prisoner to get the start of
him again, and especially SO desper-
ate a one as this, to whom he was
rather kind. But Mr.. Miller only
entered upon his duties the day be-
fore, and we think he has been a de-
cided success, SO far, and the despera-
does of every kind had better go slow.
The one in question, was a native of
Magdalena, and about % years of age.
He was evidently determined not to
return to Mcdowell, where the feeling
is strong against him.
