For the time being Sheriff Taylor
has forbidden reporters entering the

The reason for Sheriff Taylor's stand
is the fact that an article appeared in

Jail building between two prisoners
The sheriff was away at the time the
alleged occurrence took place, but upon
his return yesterday it was called tc

which proved there was no truth in the

A Shooting Scrape.

NlllOH dHQ OTO lld6 DCcu uCSlcCt6Q uuJlA at certain points it has become impass- able for loaded teams This being tine state of affairs people with vehicles going up the river from Clifton have lately been in habit of turning off the main road just above the A. c. Go. dam, and, by crossing the river twice, strike the main road again in the vicinity of Dell M. Potter's house. A Mexican named Pedro Lucero owns-or pretends to own -the sand bar necessary to be crossed in going that way, and strenuously eb- jects to people going by that cut off, and upon several occasions, lately, trouble has been narrowly averted.
 On Monday afternoon Nicholas Cole was coming down with load of lime, and there being no other way of getting to Clifton he concluded to drive down and endeavor to effect some arrangement with Lucero whereby he might be able 10 cross the sand plot in peace. When he arrived at the second crossing of the river he found on the bank a stake driven into the ground on each side of the road and wire stretched across, with Lucero standing on one side of the road and another Mexican named Rios on the other side. When Cole drove up to the wire he stopped his team, when instantly Rios rushed up to the wagon, and, thrusting a gun almost into Coles face, fired, without hitting him, however. Cole instantly sprang from the wagon and pulled his gun, but his clothing be- coming entangled in loose iron of the seat he was a little slow in getting to work. Rios, who, in the meantime had taken shelter in the brush, of which the river is lined at that point, shot at Cole again, breaking his right leg just below the knee then followed fusilade, both parties emptying their six-shoorers, Cole wounding his adversary in the right leg above the knee. In the meantime Lu- cero rushed to his house about three hundred yards distant and came out with winchester, loading the magazine as he came. When within about fifty yards of Cole he took deliberate aim and shot, and, as Cole expre ssed it, the bull let made his ear jingle That was the last of the shooting. In short time other p Irties were on the ground, the of ficers were sent for and the Mexicans were placed under arrest. At last ac-
