 WHLcox, Jan. 2.-The Superin-
 tendent of the Cincinnati Mill and
 Mining Company at Dos Cabezss has
 been in q push for funds and the mill
 site which had been offered for fifteen
 hundred dollars with nine months time
 to the company, but they were so
 prudent that they preferred to buy
 whisky and fight the law. The trouble
 arises from the Armstrong estate in
 Copper Canon. The Superintendent
 armed his men with Winchesters and
 Sunday night about seven o'clock while J. D. Emersley with power of attorney for the claims started to work the assessment on the property, nine men
 under heavy arms stood him up, dec.ar- ing that if he did not leave, they would kill him. They marched the attorney
 Mir. J. D. Emersly at the muzzle of their guns out of the canon about a mile. After that there was heavy firing done, there were betwe cen two and three hundred shots fired. The shooting was kept up till the majority of the party got so beastly drunk, they rolled down the gulch. They defed any man to come in the canyon. At last reports no one was hurt. J. J. Howard and J. G. Burt were stationed about sixty yards from where the firing began and located the prop erty between twelve and one o'clock, New Years morning, while the parties with their Winchesters were asleep. J. J. Howard arrived here this afternoon. Things were quiet at the camp, ]. G. l Burt still remains at the mines, but will | start in day or two for Tombstone to l record the claims. There Is serious | trouble expected from this which will | wind mp in a lawsuit to prove the right and title to the property.
