When found he was alive, but nothing could be done to save him. He was about forty years of age. There are thirty-one prisoners in the county jail, of whom thirteen are charged with murder. From Ihe February 28, 1890, Issue of The Enterprise More Stolen Stock Mention was made in last week’s Enter- prise of the arrest on the Gila of Frank Murray, George West, Harry Tacket and A. C. Dolores, with twenty-four head of stolen stock in their possession, besides three fine stallions which they were riding. Soon after their arrest Sher- iff Whitehill intercepted a postal card from R. L. Morgan, an employe of Head & Heart’s, in charge of the Cow Springs ranch, asking Frank Murray to come and take away ten head of stock horses left at Cow Springs. This was a clue for the wily sheriff, and he sent down for the horses, subpoenaing Morgan as a wit- ness. The stock was brought in and is now in the sheriff’s charge. No reflection was cast upon Morgan in the transaction, as he is understood to be a first-class man, simply allowing Murray to leave his stock there until he could send for it.
