THE HARRISBURG TRAGEDY
Particulars nf the Killing of Let's
 ford Received Yesterday.

The sheriff's office yesterday received
 the particulars o. the killing al Harris
 burg last Wednesday of Lige Letsford
 by w. II. Wells who is now in the Sis
 ters' hospital, having arrived in town on Friday morning with bullet hole in
 his head and another in his body. The
 story of the killing told in the letter
 is the same as that related by Wells. who though had left the neighborhood
 before the death of Letsford A coron-
 CTS jury exonerated Wells. No action
 has been taken at Harrisburg in the
 way of preliminary examination and it was not intimated in the letter that it was proposed to hold an examina- tion, for no shadow of blame could att
 tach to Wells.
 The information received here was forwarded to Sheriff Livingston of Yuma county. in hich the killing oc-
 cured. Word of the tragedy had prob ably not reached Yuma, as there is comparatively little coming and going between Harrisburg and the county seat
 The letter stated that early on the day of the killing Letsford and Wells. who had been friends. were playing a !
 much at stake and there had been no quarrel. In the afternoon Letsford got drunk and began courting disaster. He tried to engage an old man by the name of Bear in a quarrel Letsford threat ened to kill him. The old man told him that would be a waste of ammunition. for he had got tired of life and had beer thinking of committing suicide. Of | preached Wells with two guns, though only one of them was visible. He handed that to Wells and told him to defend himself. Wells took the gun instantly, not with the notion that he would have to use it but for the pur- pose of getting it out of the possession of Letsford. The next instant he re- ceived a shot between the eyes Let's ford's next shot missed. but the third one struck Wells in the body. Letsford | fired three more. none of which took effect.
 It was not until Letsford had got | through shooting that Wells got his gun l in operation. He fired only one shot. l The revolver was a double acting one. and something was the matter with the
 trigger which had to be pushed back | into place after the cooking of the weapon. Wells had to study this pe-
 culiar mechanism under trying circum-
 stances. The one shot, however. was enough. for Letsford fell with his en-
 trails torn by the ball The men were
 within three feet of each other all the time of the shooting, so that the es- cape of Wells was a miracle
