The murderers of “Big Mike” Grace, well known in Grant county, and Diehl, who were killed during the Indian outbreak, have been identified among the Indian prisoners recently ( 10 ) taken in Tucson. In an examination before Court Commissioner Hughes, one of the Indians who took part in the outbreak gave a detailed account of the killing of both Grace and Diehl, and the names of the Indians who commited the murders. In the afternoon the commission made another effort and succeeded in catching two grand jurors. Jo E. Sheridan is foreman, and is well qualified, having for years been justice of the peace at Cooney. H. H. Betts is clerk. The others are: F. M. Prescott, J. T. Mitchell, W. H. Donaldson, M. W. Neff, J. T. Reed, S. B. Biddle, J. A. Potter, O. J. Cornell, M. Maher, J. Wellgehausen, James Fender, Roberto Kirk- er, E. H. Bonner, W. G. McAfee and W. F. Aiken. The Wilcox Stockman learns that one of the cowboys on the Aravaipa round-up, who was somewhat the worse from the too free use of spiritus frumenti, “turned loose” his six shooter, and when the fusilade ended by his being disarmed, discovered that he had marked himself by shooting a clean-cut hole through one of his ears.

Canuto Armijo, of Georgetown, who came over to attend court as a witness in a cattle stealing case, committed suicide in this city about 3 o’clock Monday morning, by shooting himself through the head. No cause whatever can be assigned for the act. He leaves a wife and family.
