A Quarrel.
About a mile from the little set
Element at Organ. N. NJ, they over
took Brazle, riding alone on horse
back, and the quarrel started at once.
For distance of about six miles the
two men. Garrett and Brazie, contin-
ually quarreled. Then Adamson got
out and walked alongside the horse
to adjust some harness.
Garrett stood up in the buggy,
reached for his shotgun, and jumped
out, shouting: Cd d-m, you, if !
can't get you of my ranch one way
win another
Fires Two Fatal shots.
HE then had the shotgun in his
hands Brazle drew a Colts A. cali
bre revolver and fired twice, quickly
Garrett sank to the ground without a
word and was dead before anybody
reached him.
"Brazle surrendered to Deputy

The coroner's Jury.
"a coroners Jury composed OF b.
F. Baker, A. T. Satterlee, Fay Sperry,
C. s. Pedregon, Hugh Clarey, Vincent
May and Justice of the Peace and
Coroner Manuel Lopez, was organized
and went to the scene of the killing
to view the remains.
1T was found that one bullet had
passed through the head, entering
from behind and passing out over the
left eye A second bullet had entered
the left breast, about the seventh rib,
and had passed out between the shout
der blades.
~fhe body was lying on its back,
arms outspread. The shotgun, loaded
with No. shot, was lying three feet
away, and the trousers Of the dead
man. it is said, were unbuttoned. The
corpse was brought here about $3.50
this afternoon and was placed in
Strong's undertaking establishment
THE corOner's jury returned a YER
dict that Garrett came to his death
from wounds inflicted with a revolver
in the hands of Wayne Brazle. The
preliminary hearing has been set for
Monday morning at 10 o'clock before
Justice Manuel Lopez.
Friends Say Conspiracy.
Carrots friends here are con-
WINGED that mis- death is the result of
coId-bIooded conspiracy. The cor
oner,s jury found that the first bullet
that struck Garrett was the one that
inflicted the wound in the head.
sThe dead mans friends argue that
he was shot from behind. They de
clare that a man firing on horseback
would make a wound whose course
/ would be that followed by this bullet.
THE fact that the bullet in the left
chest entered about between the sew
enth and eighth ribs, and passed out
] behind the shoulder blades, they ar
que, shows that the second shot was
fired after Garrett had fallen dead to
he ground.
sThey say that Garrett was not a
/ man who would go hunting for anoth-
er with a shotgun loaded with bird
shot. They point to the fact that II
he had intended to shoot Brazle he
would never have turned his back
to him when he stepped from the
| buggy.
There is a great deal of discussion
here about the alleged conspiracy &c
kill Garrett, and the whole town, IS
livery much excited over the killing
No demonstration has been made
however, and none is expected"
