The old Mexican town of Wea-
yer, in Yavapai county, is getting
more than its share of notoriety
just now, by the horrible butchery
of William Sigma at that place.
This last crime recalls the many
startling murders within the CON
fines of the peaceful hills surround
ing the camp in the past twenty
years. No one has been punished
for ne many crimes, but the officers
are now hot on the trail of these
later murderers and if caught pun
isment in the severest form shall be
meted out.
