while the body of Salazar. who was killed instantly, was found near the commissary tent, eighty feet from Lu- ceFo's tent. The story of Lucero is generally disregarded.
 The facts already disclosed are that Salazar was employed month ago by one or the OTtegas to act as book keeper for the commissary. in which Lucero was interested. During most of the time Salazar had been there. there was friction between Lucero and Leandro Ortega. Lucero insisted on interference with the books of the con- cern and Salazar threatened to quit the employment of the firm. Ortega prevailed upon him to remain. The evening before the killing Lucero de- manded access to the books to mako as he said certain corrections. Salazar refused to allow him to see them and some time after, while SaIazar was iIi a saloon near by Lucero called him out They started in the direction of the commissary tent. Then there was the discharge of a gun and when Salazar was found he was dead. The bullet had entered the inner corner of the left eye and passed straight through the head emerging back of the left ear. The face was badly powder burned
