TOMBSTONE, Nov. 7th.-This IL
the seventh day of the preliminary
examination of the parties who
killed the McLowerys and Clan
ton. The evidence up to the pres
snt shows that the Earps and Hol-
lidsy, went down under color of
official duty to where the boys who
were killed were getting ready to
leave town. One Of the carp party
cried out, "Yon son.of.a.b-, you
have been looking for a fight and
now you shall have It," Another
OF them said, "Throw up your
hands" Tom McLowry, who was
unarmsd, caught hold Of the lap
psls of his coat, threw 1t open and
said: II have got no arms" Billy
Clenton threw up HE arms and
said, "Don't shoot me; I don't
want to fight" In this position
beth were shot. Their assailants
were within five or six feet. Tom
MoLowry was shot under the right
arm pit, sixteen buokshot enter
ing his body. Billy Clan
ton was shot three times.
After he was down he drew and
emptied his pistol with his left
hand, being shot through his right.
After seven or eight shots were
fred by the carp party, and he
was hit, Frank McLowery drew
his pistol and commenced shoot
ing. He was shot through the
head, breast and belly and he died
almost instantly. The evidence
appeared so conclusive against the
parties that, during the progress of
the examination to-day, the order
formerly admitting them to bail
was set aside and al order entered
committing them TO the custody of
the Sheriff. A writ Of habeds corpus
was at once sued out before Judge
Lucas, but upon the hearing they
were remanded to the custody Of
the Sheriff. who has them locked
up In jail. Since the progress OF
the examination public opinion
has changed materially, and the
whole community are determined
to see that justice Ia done.
