Silver City, where he lies at the point of
death. 1t is learned that some ranch
men ran across Joy somewhere on the
| Gila. He refused to surrender and
started to run. A ball ploughed through
his scalp on the side of his head, and
second shot struck him in the leg below
the knee, when he fell. He then gave
up. He was taken to Silver City, where
a surgeon amputated his leg below the
knee, but it was soon discovered that to
save life his leg must be taken off above
the knee, so another operation was per-
formed. Sheriff Paul, of this county,
confirms the wounding and capture of
Kit Joy and states that Joy was not
wounded in the Silver City fight as at
first reported. Previous to his last bat
tie and capture he was uninjured. [The
