Joseph Henry and Joe Miner, and after brief stay there returned to Arizona and located in CochiSe coun- l ty. The following account of his traeic death IS taken from the Tomb stone Prespectar:
 "A warrant had been sworn out for Daly arrest by Mexican whom Daly had beaten short time before. When the warrant was brought to Lowther to serve he was with Deputy Sheriff Bell, who wanted to go with him to make the arrest, but Lowther refused the protiered assistance, saving that he would have no trouble He mount ed his horse and rode down to Daly s place, about 8 mile below town and | hitchins his horse 10 a tree walked toward the house, winch IS enclosed by a pole fence. He no sooner reached the gate than Daily appeared at the door a few feet away. with double barreled shotgun and emptied their | contents at the constable.

A milkman coming up from below saw the body on the ground and came up 10 town notifying the people, Al ter the shooting Daly had teen seen running towards the hills back of mS house and is the last that has been seen of him. The greatest excitement prevailed. 4 reward was immediate ly offered. Ben Williams and West Howell started the list with $500 and the amount rapidly swelIed into the thousands
 Parties on foot and horseback secured the country, couriers went to the ranches and also to the Sonora line to warn people 10 look out for the murderer. Whether he is aioot or mounted is not known Many seem 10 tmnk that he deliberately planned the murder, when expecting the sher- if and had a horse m readiness to carry him across into Mexico, At daybreak this morning Slaughter started out for Sonora where lie will surely get tho man if he has gone that way.
 "Lowther was well liked by all who knew him and respected for hls many sterling qualities.
