places and her face is badly beaten up. Bessie is out on bail. Mrs. George Fisk, wife of a stockman near Wilcox, who w~as bitten by a mad coyote, sui- cided rather than die with hydrophobia. She shot herself through the head. From the June 8, 1888, Issue of The Enterprise C. R. Jackson was tried for killing Peter Frazier near Carlisle last summer. It seems that the men knew each other in Texas fourteen years ago. When Frazier arrived at Carlisle last summer Jackson was located in the moun- tains and had a flock of goats. They recognized each other and Frazier drew a pistol and either made Jackson confess that he was indebted to Frazier for four horses, or that he had passed counterfeit money on the man with a pistol. Accounts conflict as to the nature of the con- fession. Jackson was then bulldosed into giving to Frazier a bill of sale for the goats. After- ward Jackson refused to surrender and friends told him of deadly threats by Frazier. Once when the latter went to get the animals Jack- son’s son-in-law, Wm. Neal, claimed to hold them for the satisfaction of a claim. Frazier went away, and afterward, fearing litigation, it is said, Neale wrote Frazier that the writer would have no more to do with the affair. ( 11 )
