Harry X. Grove and family and his
brother, M. X. Grove left Salmon
Wednesday morning by motor in
their proposed move to Mayer, Ariz-

for that place early in the year, af-
ter the Groves had sold their mining
interests on the lower Salmon river.
Mayer is located about 60 miles from
Prescott. In that locality they have
in many features the best climatic
conditions anywhere in the world.
Other features are out of the ordi.

left three years ago they owned a
big pile of tailings which they had in
tended to work over. with promises
of fine returns at the present high
price of the white metal. The father
wrote back not long ago that a flood
had washed away that pile of tail

the care of physicians from injuries
1nfilcted upon each other in a row
over water last night, Williams with
bullet in his hip or groin and Viii.
son badly battered about the head
and face. But for the appearance
upon the scene of the encounter of
J. G. AnscOmb one or both of the
combatants might have been killed
Mr.. AnscOmb gives the following
story of the fight: Williams, it seems,
had interferred with the water that
Wilson was using from the old Boom
er reservoir, when the latter remon-
strated with him, whereupon Will
Jams attacked Wilson by beating him
over the head with a rife. While
still on the PROSTATE body of Wilson
the latter shot Williams with re-
volver which he managed to draw
from his pocket. At this point Ans
comb was attracted and found both
men still at grips, Wilson under his
assailant who at that time was beat
ing his head with rock. Anscomb
separated the two and sent for help,
when Sheriff Stroud appeared on the
scene.
DR.. Stratton was called to care for
Wilson who was brought to Salmon
by way of Carmen creek while Will
Jams was taken to the Hagel ranch
where DR.. Hammer attended him.
Williams was shot twice. once as
stated in the groin or hip and once
in the elbow. Wilson was frightfully
used up about the head and face. with
/ a fracture of the outer bone of the
skull
Dr. Hammer this morning reported
| the condition of Williams as exceed.
! ingly dangerous. He will call Drs
/ Stratton and Wright into the case
this afternoon and if found advis'
able will remove the patient to Sal
mon for surgical attention.
! Both the injured men are bachel-
iorS.
