 What might have been another bloody tragedy in the May West murder trial, was very nearly en- acted last night about ten o'clock in saloon on Montezuma street. Dan West, brother of the victim of Brog May in the Ash Fork shooting scrape, of few month ago, who is at present here as 8 witness on be half of his brother, while laboring under the sting evidently of his brothers death at the hands of May, sought that revenge which the affection of a brother could not overcome for the time, but which the courts will. in few days, solve as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. Quietly entering the saloon where May was conversing with some friends, West stepped up to May from behind and whipping out 8 forty-fve Colts pulled the trigger. Fortunately the cartridge did not explode. Without attempt ing to fire a second time, West re- treated to the street. where he was captured by an outsider and turned him over to an officer who placed him in jail. A peculiar feat ure of the scene was that May knew nothing of the intentions of West until after he had been in- formed of what had occurred, be ing at the time engaged Tn conver- ton and unaware of even the pres ence in the room of West. In con yersation with May to-day we learn from him, as we'll as others, that the attempt on his life last night was but the fulfillment of threat: repeatedly made since the Ash Fori trouble. Further than this MT May refuses to say any thing else West who was visited at the jail to day maintains a strict silence or his actions last night.
