orally believed that these ranchers in possess
sion OF considerable sums OF money, which was re-
at Tombstone. But the fact that various amounts
OF money were found on the persons OF the dead
when first discovered seems to contradict this
theory. Again, 1t is alleged that the guilty par
ties IN this case are Mxicans who resorted to this
atrocious method OF retaliation for the hanging of
Arizona. But the most credible theory now is
that the authors OF the massacre are a band OF
Mexico on account of their repeated depredations
there and who, IN the spirit OF pure revenge, hung
the above named boy. The four persons murdered
being cognZant OF the crime and intending to
port the perpetrators to the proper authorities
were victimized by these villains to prevent their
exposure. A man named Mcfarland has been ar
rested on suspicion and his examination may lead
to the capture OF the criminals In question

whenever he beheld the pale faces passing along he
would pounce down upon them like the eagle ON
