from Carlis' ranch, abou. so miles from Tombstone, where he has been on a roundup oi Gage and Halls cat tie, with the information that NJ. B. Hall, we'll known in this city, had been killed and that E. Stalls had been taken prisoner on Tuesday last. A PRosPEcToR reporter obtained the following information
 NJ. B. Hall had recently sold his cattle to Colorado parties and was together with five or six cowboys rounding up the cattle preparatory to shipment. As Mir Halls ranch is on the line many cattle had drifted into Mexico, where feed was more plentiful, and ran on large grant. of which MT. Francisco Gallegc was in charge He is Mexican official. MT. Hall proceededed to have the cattle on the grant rounded up and the work was commenced on the lower end of the grant, coming toward the line.
 The party had been out three days and were making for d camping point two mules distant when Afr. Gallego with five Mexicans hove in sight, all armed to the teeth.
 Gallego remonstrated with Hall for removing the cattle without his per- mission and without paying him rent for the land while the cattle were run ming on the grant. Hall promised he would settle. The entire party then reach camp. A mule which was packed ran into tree about this time, knocking of the whole pack. Cole man and another man stopped to re- pack the animal, by which they were delayed about half an hour.
 When they caught up with the party they perceived evidence of a disturbance. Halls horse was rider less. Coleman asked one of the Mex jeans where Hall was. He replied by pointing to a spot where Hall was lying dead with two bullet holes in his body. One bullet mad entered the back little below :he shoulder, com ing out thrlugh the shoulder. and the other entered the chin and ranged upward, making ghasly wound. A little distance to the left was Mexican Gyi E from wound in the head, while further up several Mexi- cans were engaged in binding with ropes one 0! the roundup party, E. Stalls. by order of Gsllego.
 it seems that the dispute about the rent had been resumed. and pistols oeIng drawn resulted in Halls shoot ing the NJ, xicsn and being himself killed. The others of the party in tine round up being ahead did not see or hear of the trouble at the time
 IL was expected that all would be arrested and taken to Arispe, but Gall 1 lego concluded only to take Stalls, which is believed to be the outcome oi personal spite, as he had had mis- understanding with him also, and sev eral of the Mexicans with Gallego were awaiting an opportunity to kill Stalls, he having had trouble with them on different occasions regarding cattle. They would have killed him had net Gallego forbidden it.
 After making preparations to carry the wounded Mexican to a town sever- al miles dis ant, they started on the march for Arispe win Stalls, but it is the general opinion that Stalls will be be killed ere they reach there.
 The hody of Hall was taken to Car lis ranch, where Hall lived while in Mexico and will probably be buried there.
 As Hall was killed on Mexican soil his body could not be brought over the line without paying $l25 duty although his relatives live on this side.
