Mohave County miner., 1909-05-01
Horrible Murder.

DallatOry, another miner. The two men had had some difference oyer un. ion labor matters and Byrne had made threats against him. Dallatory left a saloon in the camp about ten minutes to nine o'clock and Burns immediately went through the saloon by the back way and intercepted him at the corner of the saloon and beat him about the head and face so terribly with wag. on spoke and revolver that the man died the following day. A remark able part of the assault was that Dal- latory was able to go to the tent of man, although the postmortem showed his skull fractured in three places and the brain oozing through his nose. Johnson cl .ims to have put Dallatory to bed, not knowing that he was dying. and that the wounded man refused to stay in bed, going outside his tent and lying dcwn, where he was found un- conscious the following morning. The poor fellow died about II o'clock Sun- day morning without having regained consciousness after being discovered.
 Byrne gave himself up, but has said nothing of the troubles that led up to the killing. Although many heard the screams of Dallatory when Byrne assaulted him, none went to his aid or concerned themselves over the matter. animation of Byrne, which was held in Kingman last Wednesday afternoon, that the men around the camp thought the fight did not amount to much, or that the screams were those of drunk en fellow, and those who saw any of the fight thought no more of it when Dallatory went toward his'tent.
 Byrne appears to be little concerned about the matter, taking the affair quite cooly. Dallatory was secretary of the Miners Union at Oatman and was considered an excellent fellow and ardent union man.
 The Colorado river is said to be showing signs of unusual flood. AL though only few days of warm weather has been reported from the north the river is now at flood. The people of Needles are much concerned over the prospect If To ing a large part of the lowlands, below the Santa Fe shops, where the heavy waters of the river are boring into the banks and taking out thousants of cubic fee of earth daily. Should the heavy snows in the northern mountains go off with rain the floods will be the greatest in years. Not in forty yeals has the snow fallen to such depth in the mountains of the Colorado river watershed as fell there last winter The recent cold wave may prevent the too rapid rise of the water, but there is certainly going to be something do- ing along the Colorado rlver this year.
