rebearance 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. Again is the Enterprise compelled to chronicle one of those terrible and shocking tragedies which occur entirely too frequently to be justified in a community where law and order is supposed to prevail. The killing occurred Saturday between 5 and 6 p.m., on the public road between Central and the Hall ranch. The following is the Hudson version of the affair:The Hudson brothers were in the employ of S. T. Harkey, of this city and were in charge of the NAN cattle and ranches. They were on their way from this city to the ranch and when on the west bank of the first ravine this side of the Hall ranch, as they state, they met McAfee, who was leading one of the NAN horses and riding another. Steve Hudson asked him what he was doing with the stock, when, as the Hudsons state, he replied that it was none of their business. At this Steve states that both drew at the same time and fired, Steve was shot through the neck, and McAfee fell dead from his horse, the ball passing through his head, entering just above the eye.
