Epitaph : Green  C.  Bush  came  in  and  gave
himself  up  to  the  sheriff  and  gave  the  following
account  of  a tragedy  which  took  place  near  San
Bernardino  ranch  on  Wednesday:  On  that  day
Jacob  Baker  rode  up  to  Bush’s  house  and  shot
his  dog  and  asked  if  he  “wanted  any  of  it.”  He
abused  Bush  and  rode  off,  but  subsequently  re-
turned and  renewed  the  difficulty.  In  the  mean-
time Bush  had  gone  to  the  house  and  got  his
gun,  and  when  Baker  rode  up  a fight  took  place
which  resulted  in  his  death.
