The practice of carrying fire arms on the the range has deprived many a good man of his life, and in many instances has deprived a family of its support. The following telegram from Springerville shows what may happen when men are armed : During the round-up of cattle John McGee, Dick Jenkins and Robert Thomas, captain of the round-up, quarreled and all drew six-shooters. Jenkins was shot twice; Thomas was shot in the leg, which was am- putated. Jenkins is dead; he leaves a wife and family and an estate of $50,000. Thomas will also die.
