rebearance ceased to be a virtue,
and Roberts shot the Mexican as above stated.
Strange to say the physician’s have some hope
of the Mexican’s recovery. Public sentiment
is in favor of Roberts.

Another Killing
A. L. McAfee Shot Dead and Steve Hudson
Seriously Wounded.
Again is the Enterprise compelled to
chronicle one of those terrible and shocking
tragedies which occur entirely too frequently
to be justified in a community where law and
order is supposed to prevail. The killing
occurred Saturday between 5 and 6 p.m., on
the public road between Central and the Hall
ranch. The following is the Hudson version
of the affair:The Hudson brothers were in the employ
of S. T. Harkey, of this city and were in charge
of the NAN cattle and ranches. They were
on their way from this city to the ranch and
when on the west bank of the first ravine this
side of the Hall ranch, as they state, they met
McAfee, who was leading one of the NAN
horses and riding another. Steve Hudson asked
him what he was doing with the stock, when,
as the Hudsons state, he replied that it was
none of their business. At this Steve states that
both drew at the same time and fired, Steve
was shot through the neck, and McAfee fell
dead from his horse, the ball passing through
his head, entering just above the eye.
