Samuel s. Koenig of the republican
county committee of New York. CON

counties would soon fall into line.
1T must remembered, said
Mr.. Koenig that we are, with few
exceptions, practically a unit for Mr..

question of trying to ascertain
whether it would be for his best inter-

which is extensively engaged in cattle
raising in the western part of Socorro
county. Carter, the victim, also Is a
prominent stockman.
The shooting was the direct result
of the Indictment by the grand jury
at this term of court at Socorro. of
| Cox on charge of horse stealing.
| Carter, il is said, was the principal
witness against Cox before the grand
| Jury. Cox was arrested. following his
Indictment and released on bond. His
attorneys secured continuance of
the case until the next term of court
Cox was very bitter aaginst Carter
as result of the Indictment, and 1t
was feared that when the two men
again met, that trouble might result.
,This afternoon Cox and Carter both
happened to be in town from their
ranches southwest of here, and met
by chance on the street. Cox, il is said
by eye witnesses to the shooting, took
Carter To task for having testified
against him and the men got into a
heated argument over the Veraeity Of
Carriers testimony before the grand
jury Finally. 1t Ia said, Cox struck
Carter, knocking him down. The lat
ter rose and. according to those who
were standing nearby, had AN open
knife i'm his hand. Cox is said to have
told him to put up the knife. The lat
ter Is alleged To have replied, No
one could make him put up the knife, y
mt the same time applying vile
cpithet to Cox. The latter then Is said
to have drawn .45 caliber Colts re-
volyer and fired twice ut Carter. The
first bullet entered Carters breast,
just under the heart and came out
his back. The second shot missed its
mark.
Carter dropped to the sidewalk. BY
ISLANDERS rushed tn his aid, carrying
him TO the BorrOWdalc undertaking
esta blishment across the street. He
was later removed to the Allen hotel
whore tonight he is barely alive and
doctors attending him say he has lit
tie, If any, chance to live. Cox a few
minutes after the shooting was
by Deputy Sheriff Grant Mill
gen. He was placed in an automobile
and taken to the county jail at So
zorro.
Carter is middlc-aged man and
Cox il about 2S or 80
years old and has borne the reputa-
ton of being somewhat quarrelsome. /
Feeling as to the shooting is about
evenly divided. Because Carter drew
the knife and refused to put II up, |
though warned several times by Cox |
there are those who think the latter |
was justified In shooting to protect |
his own life. on the other hand, the /
fact that Carter was the older man !
md no match for Cox SO far as phys /
cal strength was concerned, his /
friends believe Cox was too hasiy with !

admittedly a victory for the organi-
