AN AMERICAN AND TWO MEXICANS KILLE
THE TROUBLE CAUSED BY THE INsoLEN

AN AMERICAN AND TWO MEXICANS KILLED
THE TROUBLE CAUSED By THE INsoLENCE
OF THE AMERICANS.
FORT STOCKTON, TEX.. July 3.-News has
just reached this post OF a sanguinary conflict
between number OF prominent Americans aud
some MeXicans of qually high standing James
Frazier, a rich cattle man, ana a son of Judge
Frazier, was stabbed to death, and Crispine
Los;a and Pedro Bassiio. Mexicans, were Shot
aud killed. Frazier and party of friends were
en- route to his rancho, a long distance from
here In the country, on the night OF June 29th,
and stopped at The residence OF Pedro Soss,, a
wealthy Mexican who had given a dancing
party in honor of St Peters day, which was
being largely attended by Mexican families.
The party of Americans intruded themselves
on the festivities, presuming largely upon the
wealth and influence of the Fraziers, and took
more liberties than the proprietles would JUS
tify. In one of the quadriles James Frazier
undertook what Is commonly termed 81 to run
the dance" The MeXicans protested and he
hit Pablo Sosa over the head with pistol. A
general shooting and stabbing affray followed,
with the fatalities mentioned. The Fraziers
aud their friends are swearing desperate things,
and the Mexicans are prepared to protect them
selves. All disfnterested reports tend to excul-
pate the Mexicans from responsibility for the
8ffray.
