A Killing On The Arivaipa G. W. Apusy, an Englishman about 44 years of age was arrested at his ranch on the Arivaipa, ten miles from Old Camp Grant, by Lieut. Watson, on the 14th instant for the kill- ing of a man on the previous day. Apusy was taken to San Carlos and placed in the guard house. The prisoner was well known in Globe five or six years ago, and had a bunch of cattle located about twelve miles from here, on the old Florence road. Following is Apusy’s statement of the shooting and causes which led up to it: He says he left his ranch about two weeks ago to go to Dudleyville for supplies and while there the water washed away Cook’s store: he stayed to help Cook save his goods. When he returned to his ranch a few days ago, he found the county supervisor Childs had reported him dead and had discharged his hired man and employed another, and was going to sell his property, as administrator. This hired man, named Andy, saddled up Apusy’s mule, turned his three cows out, stole his money and notes, about $130 and a six-shooter and was riding away. Apusy told him to come back; he replied that he was going to drive cows and would not do it. He (Apusy) shot him with a Winchester; found his money on him. Hogs were eating his body up and he tried to burn it. — Globe Silver Belt.
