DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Quarrel Over Claims Is Thought to

[snecial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO. April H.
Posses from Needles, Dagget, Marvel
and Searchlight are securing the des-
ert on an exciting man hunt in the
search for James Mobiles, who yester-
day afternoon figured prominently in
a double tragedy on Newberry noun
tain, near the Empire mines, killing
Arthur Dow and Frank Orr,
1t is presumed that in quarrel over
mining properties which is known 10
have been brewing for some time, Mo-
bles shot the two men. No particulars
of the tragedy have been received here
other than the fact that armed men
are searching the desert in an effort to
locate the fugitive.
1t is said that the killing had been
feared for weeks. but it is not posi-
lively known that business between
the three men caused the tragedy.
The sheriff has been notified. and
although the head of that office has
not left for the scene of the trouble it
is probable that he will do so unless
the man is captured.
Little doubt is expressed here but
that Mobiles will be picked up by one
of the posses on his trail, which in
clude some of the best desert men in
the county. 1t is hardly possible that
the fugitive will be able to escape the
dragnet..
