idea, and should be adopted by
the council.
From the May 25, 1888, Issue of The Enterprise
The murderers of “Big Mike” Grace, well
known in Grant county, and Diehl, who were
killed during the Indian outbreak, have been
identified among the Indian prisoners recently
( 10 )
taken in Tucson. In an examination before
Court Commissioner Hughes, one of the Indians
who took part in the outbreak gave a detailed
account of the killing of both Grace and Diehl,
and the names of the Indians who commited
the murders.
In the afternoon the commission made
another effort and succeeded in catching two
grand jurors. Jo E. Sheridan is foreman, and
is well qualified, having for years been justice
of the peace at Cooney. H. H. Betts is clerk.
The others are: F. M. Prescott, J. T. Mitchell,
W. H. Donaldson, M. W. Neff, J. T. Reed, S. B.
Biddle, J. A. Potter, O. J. Cornell, M. Maher,
J. Wellgehausen, James Fender, Roberto Kirk-
er, E. H. Bonner, W. G. McAfee and W. F.
Aiken.
The Wilcox Stockman learns that one of
the cowboys on the Aravaipa round-up, who
was somewhat the worse from the too free use
of spiritus frumenti, “turned loose” his six
shooter, and when the fusilade ended by his
being disarmed, discovered that he had marked
himself by shooting a clean-cut hole through
one of his ears.
