Another shooting scrape occurred at the Corralitos ranch in Mexico last week, growing out of the Doke-Bolton troubles. Jack Kyle was appointed receiver on behalf of S. Lindauer et als. Kyle sold some cattle to a Mexican, who was attacked by the Boyd boys, who claim to own a three quarters interest in the ranch. The Mexican was wounded, but returned the com- pliment, wounding one of the Boyds. Kyle then took a hand in the affair. About thirty shots were exchanged. The Boyd boys have left the country temporarily, but the trouble is not yet over. (Note: A Boyd was later killed). Mr. Miller, of the Gila, has an orchard of 2500 fruit trees and 2000 grape vines, all of which are doing nicely. He has lost but very few trees, and finds them but little trouble. He will have an abundance of fruit after this year. ( 31 ) BEEF PRICES SKY HIGH
