ked: “Great God, this is getting to be a tough country, when a man will give up his life before he will part with $45.” The Kid evi- dently did the “business,” as they termed it. A few weeks after his wife died. Kid was killed on the Gila by Constable Olguin, of Clifton. On our third day there was a shooting of some sort in town, the particulars of which have slipped our memory.The man Campbell, superintendent of the company’s property, of whom mention is made above, become afraid of the rustlers and kept an armed guard around his house at night while the writer was on town. On two or three occasions the miners had been organized to come into town at night and clean the rustlers up, but when the critical moment came, Camp- bell went back on the plan and stopped it. At one time the miners had left the Coronado mine and were half way to town, when they were turned back by Campbell’s orders. The killing of Kid Lewis and the capture of Heath and his gang scattered the rustlers. Big Dave was killed somewhere in Arizona, and several others run out of the country. Shoot-em-up Dick was killed on the Rio Grande for horse stealing.
