ing ARRAY last night, were brought into
the city this evening and gave bail in
$1,000 each fer examination. William
kimball, the man who fired the shot
that killed Aviz is held for examination
at Elmonte. Smith, tho man at whose
place the shooting took place, says Aviz
and wife came to the place about 6
O'Clock last evening armed with
double barreled gun and three rsvolvers,
and were ordered off. In the dispute
that followed Mrs. Aviz took up gun
and fired at VIM. Kimball, who knocked
the gun aside. Aviz drew revolver to
shoot kimball, when the latter fired, the
charge lodging in Avis head killing

when he was tenant of the place, before
purchased by Smith, claimed part of
