the killing Of Dean:
From what we were able to learn
yesterday evening of the ARRAY, il
appears that on Tuesday last Dean
was about to rodeo his cattle that
were grazing in the neighborhood
of the ARRAY. He went to the
cabin where jenkins was, and a
quarrel of words ensued. jenkins
took a coat from off hook and put
it on, and from what we are able to
learn, the revolver used afterwards
was in the breast pocket of the gar
ment. Finally, Dean grabbed a
shovel and struck violent blow at
jenkins, and missing him it few
out Of his grasp. He then grabbed
a Ratchet, when Jenkins ran, and
Dean followed closely after. Jen-
kins called for him to stop or he
would shoot, but Dean continued
to chase with the Ratchet raised as
if to strike blow. jenkins then
pulled the revolver and fired four
shots, and it was not until the
fourth shot was fired that Dean
stopped. The entire distance of
the chase did not exceed a hundred
feet, and at no time during it was
jenkins ahead more than IL feet.
When Dean ceased running he
walked deliberately back to the
cabin and laid down on a bed. Jen-
kins went to where his herder was
and told him he had shot Dean,
and for him to 60 and see if he
wanted any help. The herder did
so, and found that Dean had re-
ceived three shots in the breast,
and three in the right arm. At
first Dean refused any proffered as
sistance, but finally asked that a
boy that had accompanied him
be called from a meadow where he
had taken the horses they had
driven over, and have him bring
the animals back. as he wanted to
return home. The herder called
the boy, and the two returned to
