Jim May, formerly we'll known
sporting man of this territory. being
at one time a resident of Prescott,
Congress and other mining towns OF
Yavapai county, wassshot and killed
at Goldfeld, Nevada, a few days ago
by Jim Longstreet. Both men were
considered as bad characters and the
trouble that led to the shooting occur
red over a game of cards, and nomi-
nal sum of money. May left this sec
tion about ten years ago and wherever
there was any mining excitement be
drifted with the tide and invariably
showed up in places where there was

Telephone advices late last evening
from McCabe state, that the wagon
road between that place and Huron is
washed out at many places and it is
. impossible for vehicles of any kind to
travel over the same. George Flammer
] teIephoned during the evening to the
: board of supervisors to this effect, say
ing also that unless the road was i'm
} mediately rebuilt at many places the
= McCabe mill would tie up from lack
= of oil to run its plant. Huron is the
supply point for that section in which
2 are located many mining enterprises
: under operation, and there is but one
] road practically to the town of Nc
Cabe. The board of supervisors will
q meet this mOrningsto handle the ques
: ton and there is no doubt but what
this serious question will be consider
ed and acted upon at once. At present
, there is not a road overseer in the
+ county, the board of supervisors de
laying the appointment of such officers
| pending the considerati N of a legis-
! lative act looking to the redistrieting
( of the county on a new plan of over
seer work. The McCabe trouble will
in this instance however, be acted up
on from headquarters in this city, and
aid will be promptly extended the
section afflicted so seriously as it
should be.
