miles east from Tombstone, very near the

party we're attacked by Mexicans, aud
Long, Gray, Crane, Snow and Clanton were
killed; Beyers escaped with a wound in the
abdomen, while Ernshaw ran away amidst
a shower of bullets. 1t is estimated that
the Mexican party numbered from Is to 80
men. The condition Of the camp indicated
that the attack was made just as the MUIR
dered men were getting up. One had evi.
IDENTIFY been killed while yet lying down.
Crane was a fugitive from justice and an
outlaw, and six bullets that struck him
were well expended. Long was a man about
% years OF age, and had been in that
section OF the country with cattle about
three months. he anne to Arizona from
Kansas some i've months ago. He and his
father are men OF large capital and have
had extended experience in the stock bust
ness. The son was bringing in some cattle
for the Tobstone market when killed. The
immediate cause Of the killing is as follows;
A party OF "rustlers, MS they are called,
went into Mexico Last month and stole some
cattle. They were followed by the Mexi.
cans; who got 80 close upon them that they
were obliged to abandon the stock. This
Was done in the vicinity Of the late murder.
The Mexicans took tine stock and started
back, at the same time picking up such

of l6 Mexicans started in pursuit, over
took the fugitives, had q fight with them
and retook the stock. This occurred dur.

that the recent raiders were some of tha
