Mohave County miner., 1913-08-30
Shot Three Men:

Reyes and slightly wounded Orvllle White h the Depot Saloon. The shooting was done by a pump shotgun, three shots being fired. The details of the shooting as we have learned, was that during the evening Marks and Broaded engaged in a game of stud poker in a back room of the saloon. Broaded lost and having been drinking concluded that Marks had cleaned him by dishonest means. Leaving the saloon he went to other places and filled up with more booze and then went to his cabin on the south side of the railroad and secured the shotgun returning to the Depot saloon. Marks was still in the back room talking to some men and as soon as Broaded appeared he commenced firing. The first shot apparently struck Reyes, who was sitting in chair, the charge going through his right arm tearing out the muscles and into his back above the kidneys. A few of the shot also struck Marks, who was trying to get away. As Marks went through the door Broaded fired again, the shot striking Marks in the shoulder, grazing his back and tearing large piece of flesh from his hip. The muscles of his right arm were also torn away. Marks fell to the floor but got to his feet and ran toward the front door of the saloon, Broaded again firing at him, but the charge of shot struck the front door, a few of them striking Orville White in the leg and hip. Quite number of men were in the place at the time, but fortunately none other were in the line of fire.
 Broaded gave himself up to deputy Sheriff J. c. Lane and the injured men were immediately put under care of physicians Reyes was hurried 10 the Santa Fe hospital in Los Angeles and Marks to the local hospital. Sun. day evening Marks was sent to Los Angeles, where it is understood he is getting along all right and will prob ably recover If blood poison does not intervene.
 Broaded is in Jail and will have a hearing sometime next week, it being understood that witnesses will be able to appear at that time.
 Marks only recently came in from the Frisco camp where he had been working as a miner. He is said to be quiet fellow and not addicted to gambling. Reyes just happened to drop into the place after the game was over and was talking with some of the boys when Broaded, crazed with drink, came in and turned loose on the crowd.
 At the meeting of governors. at Denver, this week, Gov. Hurt, of Arizona, is quoted as saying that the United States would be forced to enter Mexico to secure peace and protect the interests of the Americans and that somewhat protracted war would result, from which the United States would dominate the situation and take over all the northern states of Mexico as war indemnity. While this might be blow to Mexico it would relieve her of the disturbing element that has made Mexico so hard to govern in the past twenty years, giving peace to the southern part of the little re- public. Gov. Hunt is really voicing the sentiment of a large part of the people of the United States. but it is to be hoped that cession of the northern states of Mexico may come without the necessity of bloodshed. The purchase of this great tract of Mexican lands would be worth untold millions to the United States and would not be such great loss to our sister republic.
