CHARLES  G.  VAN  HORN

Quite  a social  time  was  had  at  the  ball  at 
Chenowith’s  on  the  Gila,  some  two  weeks  since. 
Dud  Hayes  and  John  Lovely,  both  working  on 
the  LC  ranch,  got  away  with  a demijohn  of 
“elixir  of  life”  enroute  to  some  Spiders  in  the 
Mogollons.  They  danced  and  drank,  and  drank 
and  danced.  They  finally  had  a misunderstand- 
ing over  one  of  the  Gila  belles,  and  went  out 
to  talk  it  over.  John  Lovely,  who  was  in  any- 
thing but  a lovely  humor,  drew  his  gun  and 
shot  Dud  through  the  left  thigh.  When  Dud 
saw  the  blood  spurt  he  became  very  angry.
