Hub- bell’s ranch, near Zuni Salt Lakes, in Socorro county, 175 miles west of Albuquerque, arrived in Albuquerque last week and announced that he had shot and killed Jose Maria Chavez. Metzger states that Chavez had confided to him a plot to kill a man who had on several occasions threatened to “peach” on him if he didn’t do so and so. Metzger informed him that he could not allow anything of that sort about the Hubbell ranch, when Chavez sprang for his rifle and fired at him, the bullet passing through his clothing. Metzger then fired upon Chavez, killing him instantly. Chavez was the mayor- domo of Mr. Hubbell’s sheep herders. Metzger today gave himself up to a Socorro deputy sheriff. CURETONS RENT RABB PLACE
