 The Prospector last evening received the sensational news of the shooting of Bob Warren, well known cattle man, by Matt Burts, who had recently been pardonei from a term at Yuma.

To- day Warren was brought to Tomb stone from Wilcox and placed under the care of Dr. Bacon, at the hospital suffering from bullet wound through the left arm, at a point between the shoulder and elbow, the bullet having penetrated through aud grazed mark on his breast.
 Many conflicting stories were ex- tant of the shooting affray, and to se- cure the version of one of the princi. pals of the affair, Prospector reporter was granted an interview with Warren at the hospital.
