the  cause  of  the  trouble  is  unknown.  All  the 
parties  are  well  known  cowboys.  King  was 
formerly  in  the  employ  of  Head  & Heart,  at 
Apache  Tejo.  One  year  ago  last  Fourth  of 
July,  he  had  a difficulty  at  the  Board  of  Trade 
in  this  city,  in  which  he  was  stabbed  in  the  side.

The  body  of  a Mexican  was  found  by  the 
side  of  a half  skinned  cow  in  the  Capitan  moun- 
tains, near  Lincoln.  If  it  had  not  been  for  the 
bullet  hole  in  his  head  it  would  have  been 
thought  that  the  cow  kicked  him  to  death.

Elizabeth  c.  t.  warren  and  m.  r.

Koehler  Wright  were  great  pioneering  spirits 
whose  vision  and  labor  helped  to  beat  a savage 
wilderness  into  the  full  life  that  is  the  Southwest. 
These  two  pioneers  of  southwestern  New  Mexico 
were  close  friends  and  business  associates;  they 
have  left  a lasting  imprint  on  the  history  of  New 
Mexico.

Elizabeth  Warren  was  27  when  she  helped  to 
organize  a hospital  in  the  rough  mining  camp  that 
was  Silver  City  and  assisted  at  the  first  operation 
there.  She  saw  that  seed  grow  into  the  fine  Silver 
City  General  Hospital,  and  it  was  there  63  years 
later  that  she  was  taken  in  her  final  illness  to  die  at 
the  age  of  90  after  a lifetime  of  accomplishments.
