The cowardly shooting Of Antonio
Germondo at Austin last October is
the charge against him and upon

from Facillo.s gun. and It is feared
his sight is gone. It was through a
visit paid the unfortunate man by
his alleged assaiIant that his arrest
was a1ected Sunday.
A few days ago he went to tho
hospital. and. It is said, offered Ger
monde a certain sum Of money Il he
would forget the shooting. Germon-
do refused, and after Facilio left he
told the hospital physicians, who IN
turn reported the whole occurrence
to Prosecuting Attorney Hughes OF
Preston county. telling All he knew
about the anair. Hughes and the
sheriff then came from Preston coun-
~ In quest OF the criminal.
The italian was boarding at the
home Of his brother-in-law. Pasquale
Beafore, at Enterprise. The oficers
approached the house and surround
ed it. Entering the house omcer
Higsinbotham found 10 or more men
seated about a leg of beer. Tho
room was not welI lighted and he
had some trouble In. recognizing Fa-
clio. but he did finally spot him
edging toward back door. HigEin-
botham drew his gun and ordered
Facino to stand still. The other it
alians desiring TO protect their friend
placed themselves between him and
the oficer and by the time the latter
had pushed them aside Facillo had
sprung through, the door and was
beating it down the hfll
Reaching the door Higginbotham
called to Jackson, who was standing
about fifty feet below:
There goes your man." he shouted
Jackson Immediately drew his gun,
and pointing 1t. at the fleeing Italian
called to him to halt. but there was
no response.
Halt. or I win shoot you" Jack-
son warned, but FacillO was hitting
the high places and paid no attention
to the command He was passing a
deep mud hole when the deputy
sheriff nred. FacinoN gave a leap in
the air and fell on his SHOULDER in the
mud. He was quickly surrounded by
the officers and an examination made
OF his wound. in the left leg, which
was found not to be serious.
About a year ago number Of
Italians IN the Enterprise region were
notified that unless they each gave
up a certain amount OF money they
would be killed. The men did not
receive letters as is the usual Black
Hand custom. but were called from
their homes at night and It Is said
that nearly every man visited paid
over the money.
Facillo. after his arrest, was reecg-
nized as one who had made such yis-

IRON SPRINGS.


Iron Springs. Aug. 29.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican 1.-The scribe desires to rise to a question of personal privilege. Last week the usu- ally accurate linotype operator fell asleep over the drowsy opening sen tences of the Iron Springs letter and associated the "tum-tum of the piano. with the song of the stranduvarions." l" Prof. Stuchel denies ever having per formed on such an unheard of instru- ment, though he would be proud to be known as the owner of a genuine "stradivarius." Of course, in these days of canned music such mistakes will happen, especially if it so happen that the proOfreader has been acting as umpire at ball game all the after noon. The reference to the influx of husbands and would-bees" leaves a sting in the letter not intended by the writer. The 'would-be may be honey boys" but not honey bees.
 T. G. Maddox, travelling auditor of the s. F., P. & P, was with us last week and found everything correct and booming at that depot.
 Mrs. Waldo Christy, Miss Walker and the cat have returned to Phoenix From the sounds which issued from the basket it seemed that pussy was broken hearted over leaving Iron Springs.

Miss Agnes Anderson, George McNeill, D. H. Burtis and A. G. Mat thews.
 Miss Grace Stacy and Miss Helen Ely were present at the Yavapai club dance on Friday evening.

 Mrs. James A. Griffin and son Jack left for Phoenix last Saturday morning.
 Miss Helen Ely has gone to San Bernardino for a short visit previous to her return to Stanford university for her second pears course.
 Iron Springs station reminded one (slightly) of the entrance to Brooklyn bridge. or the Grand Central station, Saturday night. The Phoenix train went north frightened by the alighting of C. H. Davidson, Lloyd Christy, pr. Ancil Martin, F. F. Patton, E. T. Col lings. Lew Collins, MT. and Mrs. E. A. Marshall and Miss Angela, A. c. Me n ..1 wiler, John A. Marshall, Charles A. Stauffer and pr.
