ked: “Great God, this is getting to be a
tough country, when a man will give up his
life before he will part with $45.” The Kid evi-
dently did the “business,” as they termed it.
A few weeks after his wife died. Kid was killed
on the Gila by Constable Olguin, of Clifton.
On our third day there was a shooting of
some sort in town, the particulars of which have
slipped our memory.The man Campbell, superintendent of the
company’s property, of whom mention is made
above, become afraid of the rustlers and kept
an armed guard around his house at night
while the writer was on town. On two or three
occasions the miners had been organized to
come into town at night and clean the rustlers
up, but when the critical moment came, Camp-
bell went back on the plan and stopped it. At
one time the miners had left the Coronado mine
and were half way to town, when they were
turned back by Campbell’s orders. The killing
of Kid Lewis and the capture of Heath and his
gang scattered the rustlers. Big Dave was killed
somewhere in Arizona, and several others run
out of the country. Shoot-em-up Dick was killed
on the Rio Grande for horse stealing.
