 Word was received Thursday from the custom house that cowboy by the name of Charlie Cook had been shot and killed by another cowboy, Andy Garrett The two had been drinking heavily and had not been on very good terms for several days previous.

Garrett, seeing Cook fall from his horse, came across the line and came to Bisbee, leaving on the morning train. Cook was taken by the Mexican guards to the jail at La Mo rita, where he died.
