(special b the Reyiew.l


TOMBSTONE, June 17.-Chief of
Police George Brayin and Contable
James Kelly had narrow escape
from being killed about midnight last
night when they went to place Mex
Ican named Marcello Mendez under
arrest, who had about an hour pre-
vious attempted to take the life of
Mexican woman by shooting her
thee times.
Mendez, who has been working ia
the kreuder restaurant as a waiter
and dishwasher, had been living for
sometime with woman known as
Consuella Tecaza, in the small frame
house in the rear of the congregation
al church. 1t is stated that he went
nome last night about II o'clock ana
Found another Mexican in the nuuse
with the woman He left at once
and returned with a siXshooter and
began shooting at the woman, the 9th
er man in the meantime having taken
haSty departure. He shot at the
woman three times, one of the bullets
passing through her neck, one through
the left shoulder, and the third taking
of the forefinger of her left hand.
The woman screamed and ran out in
to the yard, which aroused the neigh
borhood. Mendez made his escape.
Word was sent to the officers, ana
Chief Bravin was first upon the scene.
He made a search for Mendez, but
could not find any trace of him. He
then hunted up Constable Kelly and
the two made a search around the
Mexican settlements for Mendez, but
could find no trace of him. They
came back to the house where MendeZ
had been living, and again began a
search of the premises. The officers
entered a small front room about ten
by ten, and Constable Kelly having
his electric flash light in his hand
flashed it under the bed. The mo-
ment he did so the officers were blind
ed by the flash of the gun of Mendez,
the powder burning their faces, and
the bullet passing just between them.
The officers returned the fire, and for
a few moments the little room was the
scene of a lively battle between rnL
Mexican and the officers, in which
some twelve to fifteen shots were
fired
The officers, after having emptied
their reVolyers, stepped outside GT the
door to reload their weapons, reen-
tered the room, and were ready TO
again begin the battle, but it was not
necessary, as their aim had been bet
ter than that of MendeZ, and he was
found to be dead, one of the bullets
having passed through the middle OF
his forehead, while several others had
