Kelvin, July 26.-(Special Core | spondence of The Republican )-The
 usually quiet law-abiding citizens of ] Kelvin were thrown into a great state of excitement Sunday afternoon by q cutting and slashing affray. that was started in the backyard of the Kelvin saloon, by six MeXicans. who were un, der the influence of liquor. It happen cd in this way: Several of the rail road foremen were standing at the bar | talking, when they were accsted by 1 Mexican, who asked for a drink for l himself and crowd. A railroad man readily acquiesced, and treated them all around but no sooner had this been done than they wanted another which
 was given them. This was repeated several times. The Mexican by this
 time was getting very garrulous. and
 abusive, and was promptly ejected out
 of the back dor. Then was when the
 trouble started, the six Mexicans mak-
 ing for about three white men. who up
 to this time were holding their own in
 good shape When the MeNicans saw
 they were getting the worst of it. four Of them according tO an eye witness.
 pulled long dangerous looking knives rom their pockets, and began cutting
 and stabbing the white men. whose
 backs were turned at the moment and when the smoke had cleared away so to speak, it was found that one young man had gotten frightfullv cut under the ribs around the abdomen and was bleeding profusely. but had presence of mind to go to Dr. Browns office, about block away Forum ately he found the doctor at home. He examined and dressed the wound with dispatch. This young mans name is not known as he has been here only short time from Tempe He was employed as a brakeman on the Ray cOmpany's railroad
 The other man that was stabbed was Frank Harkland, also an em- ploye of the Ray company's railroad. He also started for the doctors office with the aid of two other men but utterly collapsed when about half way there, sinking to the ground in an unconscious condition from the loss of blood, having left a bloody trail all the way from the saloon to where he fell in the rear of the new ll'sI'lAsils -A tlbNu UuiNklN gathered around him and did what they could for him. Cutting away the clothing they found a very ugly wound in the mans thigh which was bleeding profusely. A handkerchief was pro- cured and tied just above the wound. which staunched the flow of blood until the doctor arrived in a very few minutes The man lying there presented very gruesome aspect as he was literally covered with blood and his face had the pallor of death He was moved as quickly as a stretchcr could be had. to the hospi- tai. whecr his wounds were washed and dressed by Dr. Brown. He re- gained consciousness on the way and said in weak voice that he was all right
 The young man whose stomach was cut open was found to be in the most serious condition of the two.
 In the meantime a deputy sheriff had gotten busy with the intractable Mexicans and had four of them be- hind the bars in the twinkling of an eye. The other two escaping during the melee. Il
 By this time, excitement was at a high pitch. About a dozen men were dcputizcd and sent out in twos (most of them on horse back in different directions to SCOUT the neighborhood. Their efforts were crowned with sue cess Sunday evening, one being found north of town and the other, west. So Sunday night they were all safely locked in the city jail.
