 A correspondent, writing from Flagstaff, gives an account of the recent difficulty in that vicinity, ! in which two Mexican herders were killed. It appears that these two men formed a part of band of twenty who had come in from New Mexico with 10000 sheep, which they undertook to pasture on ranges in this county, already occupied. As the sheep herders would not listen to the remon- strances of the owners, but en- to keep possession by force of arms, scrimmage ensued, in which two were killed and the remainder driven of with their flock. The Mexicans appear to have forced the trouble on the cattle men.
