ED. Mullen was brought 10 the city
yesterday with a bullet hole in his
back, a y the Phoenix Republican.
He was accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff williams, Of ella Bend, where
the shooting took place about II
O'Clock on Saturday night. Mullen had
been without any medical attention
since the shooting as there is at pres

Mexican or an Indian, without any

Mullen lives at Riverside, CAL
where he has a wife and two children,
He is a sJockman in a small way and
had been buying horses in the ylcin-

bles by the thugs that overrun the
city. II is stated that the situation
has become so serious that every citi-
zen who has any business that takes
him out at night, carries a gun.
A prominent lawyer named Wup-
perman was held up and robbed I'M
der an electric light on the main busi-
ness street of the city and the Next
can consul was relieved OF $t04 in
money and a valuable diamond stud.
Sheriff Livingston has sworn in a
large number of deputies and the town
now has enough officers to quell a
riot, but it is stated that the robberies
and hold-ups continue. There are
several rangers in the city also, and
It is likely that If the robberies do not
cease summary measures will be
taken by the enraged citizens of the
town.
The difficulty was occasioned by the
dumping into Yuma of 200 men, who
are literally the riff-raf of the earth.
These toughs are employed at work
on the Laguna dam and also at the
intake below Yuma. When the Col
orado river rose as a result of the
heavy rains throughout the territory,
the work at both the dam and the in
