SHOOTING SCRAPE
At ARGYLE FATAL
One Mexican is Shot In scuffIe With
Another One in Gang Working
on Santa Fe Track
Yesterday.
NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE
Assailant Was Captured Near Fort
Madison-Sherlff Scott and
Deputy Montgomery
Called.

A scuffle between some Mexican
laborers at Argyle yesterday morning
probably will result fatally for one OF
the foreigners. Two Mexicans are In
Jail at Fort Madison, and one is in q
hospital in Fort Madison, fatally
wounded. Alfedo Markinez, one Of
the two men arrested and in jail at
Fort Madison, is said to have been the
assailant.
The trouble occurred about II
o'clock yesterday. Sheriff Scott was
notified here about noon, and with
Deputy Sheriff Montgomery drove to
Argyle. Here they found the camp in
turmoil, and the wounded Mexican.
The man had bullet wound through
the abdomen, and was in serious
condition.
Few of the men in the gang could
speak English. One of them who
claimed to be an interpreter said that
there was scuffle and that the man
who was shot had struck the hammer
Of the other Mexican's weapon, and
that the bullet had been discharged
in this manner. He said the men had
been drinking.
The sheriff was told that the men
had taken the railIoad track and were
on their way to Fort Madison. Sher-
if Scott took the injured Mexican in
his car and Deputy Montgomery
boarded Santa Fee train headed for
Fort Madison. They failed to find any
trace OF the men, but learned the rea-
son for this when they reached Fort
Madison.
Santa Fee railroad detectives had
been notified Of the case. and left the
camp before the local officers arrived.
They found two Mexicans walking
down the track, and picked them up
and brought them to Fort Madison
for safe keeping. One OF them was
charged with having shot the other
'aborer and his partner was held
pending an investigation.
Late reports from Fort Madison
were that the injured Mexican could
not live.
