TOMBSTONE, Aug. 9lst.-A most
outrageous crime has just come to
light, that occurred some days
ago in Ramsey's Cafion, Huachuca
teen year old daughter Of man
named Stroud, told her father that
as she passed Mexican wood
camp, she was insulted by Mexi-
can boy. Her father raised mob
of a dozen meb, went to the Mexi-
can camp, took the boy, tore off
his shirt and made nine Mexicans,
among whom was the boys father,
take knotted raw hide thongs and
give the boy five blows each. The
father begged off with two blows.
Having accomplished their heliish
purpose they left. The Mexicans
started to Sonora, and when they
got about thirty miles the boy died
and was buried near the line. The
people of Ramsey's Canon are in a
panic for fear the Mexicsns will
come back to retaliate, and have
got up petition asking the Sher-
lff's protection. No arrests have
been made. The girl now denies
the first statement, and says she
merely got the story up for fun.
A Mexican named Pesquiera, who
started for Sonora on Tuesday,
with companions, carrying $1,000
to General Pequeira at Cananop,
about seventy-five miles from here,
was robbed by four men about q
mile out of town.
