A cutting scrape took place Wednesday night in Martin’s saloon at Pinos Altos, in which “Mississippi Tom” was the principal participa- tor. He proceeded to carve up the whole crowd, and succeeded in severely cutting Johnny Mar- tin and four or five others. The constable ar- rested the fellow, who afterwards procured a revolver and with it made his escape.
