MRS. LEE AGAIN
 IN BLOODY MIxUP

tators found George Cason weltering in his own blood, while Mcbride was returning to his home with the shot gun still in his hands. Officers Gray and Harvey Hughes arrived on the scene within few minutes, and after placing Mcbride under arrest had the wounded man taken to the Calumet < Arizona hospital.
 As soon as the physicians saw the wounded man they stated that there was. no hope for his recovery, all one side of his face being blown off, and he died in the afternoon about 4:30.
 Mcbride accompanied the officers to the jail and was apparently unmoved by the tragedy in which he has just played leading role. Within short time Mrs. Hattie Lee apepared at Judge Grier's office, claimed to be an eye witness to the affair, and swore to complaint charging Mcbride with assault with intent to commit murder, not knowing at the time that there was no chance for Cason 8 recovery. She then swore to complaint charg. ing Mrs. K. c. Mcbride with threaten ing to kill her.
 In about an hour Mrs. Mcbride was arraigned in court, and after being in strueted as to her rights was released on bond in the sum of $500, As soon as she was released Mrs. Mcbride swore to complaint charging Mrs. Hattie Lee with arson, and another complaint charging her with having threatened to kill.
 Mrs. Lee was arrested and brought in to court, where she also was instructed in regard to her rights, but being un able to furnish bond in the sum of sl 300, was remanded to the custody oi the officers and brought to Bisbee, where she is now occupying a cell in tho branch county jail. The causes whief led up to the killing of Cason yesterday extend over a period of nearly year On November of last year J. D. Le' returned to the district from Globe anC finding that his wife's affections haC been transferred to one c. l.. Davis took a Winchester and killed him. Le' was arrested and it is stated that hi wife was very anxious to see him con victed of murder.
 | Mcbride was a witness for the ter ritory against Lee, but, according to story which is prevalent in Lowell would not testify in a manner sug gested by Mrs. Lee. Since that tim there has been enmity between the Le woman and the McBrides.
 According to the opinion prevalen in Lowell, Cason was the latest para mour of Mrs. Lee, and, it was stated she brought about the difference be tween him and Mcbride in the hop that the latter would be punished fo his refusal to perjure himself.
 Mrs. Lee claims that her life ha been threatened by the MeBrides O several occasions, and on the othe hand the McBrides claim their live were threatened, and that Cason, short time ago, used the most vile an insulting language towards Mrs. No Bride while her husband was at worl
 The Lee woman claims that yesterda morning Mcbride deliberately threw u the shotgun and shot Cason without an provocation.
 When seen by a Review reporter yei terday afternoon and asked about tn affair, Mcbride begged to be excuse saying that he had nothing to say fo publication at that time.
 Inquiries around Lowell yesterda afternoon elicited the information tha Cason was known as "bad man. an was considered very undesirable eli izen.
 The Lee woman is considered trouble maker, which is based on tn facts that her house before it burne down few days ago had been th scene of many brawls and disturbances Davis was killed because of her sewers months ago and now another human If has been taken and she seems to b again the cause.
 On the other hand investigation di. closed nothing but the best opinion i regard to Mcbride. He is known a an honest, hard-working man, and ha always borne reputation for good cit zenship. He has never been know to seek trouble, and he seems to hay the sympathy of the community on hi side.
 The charging of arson again bring up the mysterious burning of the Le house few days ago, after big ro' had been in progress, judging from tn noises which issued from the house. A the time of the fire Mrs. Lee ran ou of the house and came to Bisbee, an directly behind her were two men whcs names could not be aseertained. Tn mysterious actions of the inmates o the house led the officers to investigat the affair, but they could obtain n light on what caused the fire. No, that a charge of arson is entered 3 thorough airing of the matter is sure [ | gollnxx,
