BRUTAL  BUTCHERY!

Who  Killed  Jimmy  Kerr?  Full  Particulars 
of  the  Tragedy

One  of  the  most  cold  blooded,  brutal  kill- 
ings that  ever  occurred  in  Grant  county,  if  not 
in  the  territory,  took  place  at  Peter  Mungall’s 
ranch  on  the  Mangus,  Thursday  night  last,  the 
23rd.  The  killing  was  the  result  of  a drunken 
row,  and  who  started  the  trouble  will  probably 
never  be  known.
