t fortnight, has occasioned considerable alarm, and rusty guns are being cleaned and loaded for “bar.” Charles Gartner, who was working in Noel’s butcher shop, was arrested Monday last on a telegram from Clifton. He is supposed to be the party who recently stole a mule there. Thieves continue to ply their vocation un- molested by the heavy hand of the law. From the December 28, 1888, Issue of The Enterprise A shooting scrape on Christmas eve at Georgetown, resulted in a Mexican receiving a shot in the abdomen. It would seem that the Mexican, whose name we have been unable to learn, entertained a grudge against Billy Roberts and to satisfy this, he began stoning Roberts, who refrained from firing until after he had been struck two or three times in the face. Then forebearance ceased to be a virtue, and Roberts shot the Mexican as above stated. Strange to say the physician’s have some hope of the Mexican’s recovery. Public sentiment is in favor of Roberts. ( 25 ) Another Killing A. L. McAfee Shot Dead and Steve Hudson Seriously Wounded.
