 What appears to have been a cold bloodcd murder occurred at lew minutes after the midnight hour on Sunday morning. at Humboldt, when Juan Rodriguez shot and killed Jesus Miranda.
 Both par,ic. to the affair were Mex jeans and the killing K the result of row which was started by Miranda with his wife and Rodriguez. whom he accused of being on intimate terms with Mrs. Miranda.
 The affair took place within a short distance. of the Lamar saloon, owned ! by Ramon Cordova, in the back room of which the murdered man found Rodriguez in company with his wife bu, a few moments before.
 II appears that about the midnight hour the murdered man forced his way | into the room adjoining the saloon. and there found his wife with Rodriguez. Hot words followed and the parties were ordered from the place by the proprietor. The quarrel was con'in' ucd on tho outside. with the result that a scuffle followed between the men, when Rodriguez. who was much the heavier. pulled six.shottcr from the person of Miranda. and fired the bn'- lei. The missile entered n short distance above the right hip, ranging slightly downwards. and lodged near the back hone death following about thirty min utcs later.
 The woman. who was making her escape from tho scene at tho time the shot was fired, claims to have seen the flash from the gun, bu, Rodriguez claims that in trying io secure the pis' tol from Miranda the weapon was ac' cidcntally discharged, causing the wound that ended the lattcr's life.
 Immediately after the shooting Rodriguez made m effort to escape from the place, but was arrested by a number of men who rushed to the scene of the disturbance.
 The shcriff's office was n, once notified. and in the absence of deputy sheriff at the place, Bob Neal, who has charge of the Duke herds of cattle, was dcpu,ized to take charge of the prison CT until the arrival of Under Sheriff
 Ncagle.
 While being held under guard by three men, two of whom were armed with six shooters and one with double barrcllcd gun, loaded with buckshot Rodriguez made a desperate but futile effort to escape. Knocking down both of the men armed with six.shootcrs hc grabbed the shot gun, which was
 broken in the struggle. when he start cd at rapid rate to get out of the room.
 Deputy Sheriff Bob Neal, who WI, engaged in talking through the tele
 phone when the escape was attempted called to the fleeing mnn to halt, and
 also fired ono shot to scare him into
