h deadly effect.
Steele shot at Patterson twice — one bullet going
in the left shoulder and one in the mouth, and
the last shot will in all probability prove fatal.
Steele was immediately arrested and held under
$5,000 bond to await the result of the wounded
man’s injuries.
Just before daylight on Tuesday morning
last some miscreant fired the wood pile lying
near the Skillicorn and Snyder mill at Pinos
Altos. Had it been discovered ten minutes later
it would undoubtedly have destroyed the mill.
As the mill was closed down awaiting result of
the legal proceedings in injunction on the mine
and no fires about the premises, it was certainly
the work of an incendiary. No punishment can
be too severe for such a miscreant and no doubt
if those firebugs are discovered, the citizens of
Pinos Altos will not await the law’s delays.
