 w. c. Warren, the we'll known cat tleman, was murdered at his ranch ten miles from San Carlos last Fri day. It is alleged that the killing was done by a Mexican named Pan cho Lopez. It appears that the two men were drinking together and that later Lopez went to the Warren house and created disturbance. Warren attacked him with a gun, shooting hlm through the head. The Mexican then got possession of the gun and shot Warren twice. once square in the forehead and once through the heart. Lopez was brought to the county jail and is now in a preCarious condition, and may die. Some think that there must have been a third man involved, as it SGSnS uQllhely that d 01dn SO DdOly injured, his eye being shot out, could have done such straight shooting.
