Kicks on Ash Fork Justice

l ne following letter was received from Ash Fork, written in Span ish. If his statements are true, the blind goddess must have peeked.
 Ash Fork, Dec. }, 1910.
 Editor: Please insert the fol- lowing in your valuable paper:
 On the first of this month there was discussion between three Mexicans over debt of S. The first Mexican wanted to collect this amount due from two brothers. One of the brothers fired two shots at the one attempting to collect the money, and the collector fired three in return. In the.outcome no one was hurt. The three com batants were arrested and the Mexican firing the first two shots was turned loose and the collector was punished. This was an injus- tice on the face of it.
 This is the kind oi justice we get at Ash Fork, Ariz. Now what l want to know is this: Is there any justice for every one, or just for the few? It seems that in this place there is justice only for some but not for all. We have right to find out our privileges, although we are in strange country. As l said before, there is no justice in Ash Fork only for the few,
