AS he saw the two hurry through

D. c. Catlin Murdered
AT Stems By Mexican
Old Timer Shot Six Times Thro
Body. Assailant Given With
out Bail

d. c. ("Doc") Catlin, one of
the pioneer residents of Stems,
20 miles west of this city, on the
Southern Pacific, was shot and
killed Thursday night, Jan. 10.
about nine O'Clock by a Mexican,
who gave himself up to the off
GERS. According to one story of
the killing, Catlin was drinking
and went to the home of the Mex
lean, making an attempt to enter
the door by pounding with a rail-
road coupling pin. The Mexican
states that his wife came out and
ordered him away, whereupon
Catlin slapped her The Mexican
then fired five shots, three of
which took effect. He then gave
himself up to Sam Olney, con-
stable at Stems. Constable Os-
car Allen of this city was notified
and went to Stems, bringing the
prisoner back and lodging him.
in the local Jail.
ID. c. Catlin was one of the
pioneer residents of Stems and
southern Grant county, living inI
this vicinity for over 25 years.
He was the proprietor of a saloon
at Stems at the time of his death
and was interested in several
promising mining properties in
the Stems mining district. He
was married at one time and has
two sons whose addresses are un-
known. Deceased was about 72I
years of age.
On Monday afternoon of this
week hearing was held before

field at Stems, District Attorney
j. S. Vaught being present for
the state. Manuel Lopez, the
man charged with the killing of
Doc. Catlin, was given over to
the grand jury without bail.
In the hearing it was brought
out that Doc. Catlin went to the
Lopez house while intoxicated
1t was not shown that he made
any threats or hit the wife of
Lopez as was first charged. Be-
ing an aged man it is not likely
he was violent. 1t is stated that
Mrs. Lopez brought out a shot
gun which Catlin took away from
her. Then Lopez appeared on
the scene and emptied the cham
bers of his revolver into the
mans body. District Attorney
Vaught was vigorous in his pro-
secution, and believes that a gen
