Mans Death.

Under date Of the 14th. inst. from
Kingman, Arizona, private letter
addressed to the Sheriff here says
that on the morning of the 9Th. inst.
at Temple Bar. this county, fight
occurred between man named Jack
Ray and a Mexican named Antonio
Nava. Both men were pretty well
beaten up, Ray losing some of his
teeth, but if was not thought at the
mine that ether was seriously injur-
ed. Both men were discharged but
remained at the mine a day or so.
The injured Mexican wanted to re-
turn to work but was not re-employ-
| ed.
Ray left, saying be was going to
Rioville, New.
The Mexican remained at the mine
couple of days longer seemed to
grow worse and showed symptoms at
times of being out of his mind but
no one thought him in any danger.
He left the mine for Whitehills
Arizona, in company with another
Mexican, where he remained a couple
of days and then came to Kingman.
He was in bad condition and was
taken to the hospital, where he died
on the day the letter was written.
The man named Jack Ray is de-
scribed as being tall, about 40 years
Of age, black beard and hair, said to
be Russian by birth, speaks bro
ken english, and has several teeth
missing, lost in the fight with the
Mexican.
The only witnesses to the fight
were man by the name of James
Ryan, who was killed in Kingman
since the fight; a man named J. o.
Jones, who is still working at Tenn
pie Bar and Mexican named Jose
Garcia who quit work at the mine on
the 18th.
The Miner of Kingman, of the
22th. inst. says of the above:
A Mexican named Antonio Nava
and Russian, whose name is un-
known, became involved in a quar-
rel at Temple Bar one day early this
week, but the two were separated
before much damage was done.
That night the Russian ran across
the Mexican and with big rock
proceeded to beat him up in horri-
BILE manner. If not interfered with
Nava would surely have been Killed.
The wounded man was brought to
Kingman Wednesday and placed in
the county hospital. There are
serious doubts of his recovery, In
the same issue, the details of Ryan's
death are given. He had been drink
ing for three or four days and was
quarrelsome. Picked a quarrel with
one Joe Lynch in s. p. Thompson's
saloon, drew gun and was shot be-
fore he could fire. A Coroner's
jury exonerated Lynch from all
blame.
No particular railroad news this
week. The rails are said to be
down now for a distance of Is miles
from Milford
DIR. Mayo and Henry Miles have
gone to Eureka from DeLamar to
attend to Masonic and X. of p.
Lodge business.
Habitable dwelling houses are
scarce and in some. demand here
and unless we mistake much, they
will be more in demand before
Spring.
Thugs and holdups are becoming
numerous again in DeLamar. Gus
Adelmann was held up at the point
Of a pistol and robbed Of three or
four dollars, all he had, one morn
ing last week as he was leaving his
work at the DeLamar mill. The
drawer in Johnny Franks saloon
was also robbed one night and some
whisky stolen.
The total vote of Lincoln County
at the recent election was TAO. This
will not change the term Of the As
SCISSOR from four years to two, as
some appear to think, as the limi-
tation for that purpose is $50 votes.
There is already some talk in the
northern and western parts of the
State OF making the Assessorship a
two year term all over the State
again, regardless Of the vote cast.
