SHOOTING RESULTS
IN SERIOUS WOUNDS
FOR 2 PRINCIPALS
TangIe Over Dead Burro, East of
Lowell, Results in Two Men Being
Injured; Both Claim to be Right

BISBEE, May 27-J. Tom Allen
is under arrest, and a young Mexi-
can, name unknown, is suffering with
two bullet wounds, as the result of a
shooting affair east of Lowell yester-
day Afternoon. Allen also has a bullet
wound in his left arm.
The shooting occurred in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of Aliens home
which is located near the junction of
the Warren road with the Douglas
highway, west of the city garbage
dumps.
According to Aliens version of the
affair." the Mexican, who was shot, &C
companied by another man, came to
his place and pulled gun upon him
while he was burying burro. The
burro, according to Allen, had died
near the place. Allen further de-
clares that when the Mexican pulled
the gun upon him he went into the
house and secured his shot gun. He
hoped to arrest the two and take
them to Lowell.
Instead, further according to Allen,
the Mexican shot at him twice, one
bullet finding Judgment in his arm.
He then opened fire, hitting the Next
can in the head and in the leg with
buck shot.
The Mexican, on the other hand,
declares that Allen had killed his
burro and his dog and that he was
on Aliens property seeking recourse.
He states that Allen fired at him first
and was answered with two bullets.
The case will come up before Judge
Smith, of Lowell,as soon as the Mexi-
can is able to appear.

State Assessment Delayed

State Assessment Delayed
Up to date the assessment by the
State Tax Commission on the railroad,
telegraph, telephone lines and pro-
ducing mines in Greenlee county
have not been received by Assessor
Kerby. Without these figures the total
of all other property assessed in the
county is approximately million
and a half greater than in 1914. This
increase is apportioned among cat
tlemen, the Detroit Copper Mining
Co. and The Arizona Copper Co. Ltd.
In some quarters it is estimated that
the assessment on producing mines in
this county to be fixed by the State
Tax Commission, will be between
eighteen and twenty million dollars.
In that event the Greenlee county as
sessment will be increased between
four and six million dollars over last
year.
