Part ! ijgc, which has been going oh for some ime. hc has always been considered . good and useful citizen, a man of more 7 uau ordinary energy, and earnestly intent ! pa the development of the resources or this ] portion of Arizona. He was probably be- . wecn fifty and sixty years of age, and, NC | hould judge from his accent, a native of ' omc of the German States.
 William Partridge is nearly the same age : Is Wilson, has lived at Antelope and Salt River for many years. l, miller by tra.le, as for long time a resident of Shasta ouuty. California, i,. we judge from his nalcci, clthcroi English or tannadian cNiraC- lon, and with the exception of his difficul ic- with Wilson, and one law suit aboBt a nine, has never to our knowledge had any rouble with anybody, m fact in ali his ac ions and dealings with people. he appears o be one or the mest harmless and inoifen i've men we ever met.
 We, with all who knew them deeply IT. ret the occurrence which has cost the life f a good citizen. and made an outlaw and
 fugitive of another
