States  army  and  a 
son-in-law  of  Gen.  Mason,  was  mortally  shot 
today  by  J.  C.  Saggs  ,a  neighboring  ranchman, 
on  Balcone’s  Creek,  near  Balcone.  Saggs  has 
thus  far  eluded  arrest.

Should  the  major  die  of  his  wounds  this 
would  be  the  third  death  in  the  Eckles  family 
this  year.

Silver  City  seems  to  have  a corner  on  Chi- 
nese weddings,  the  contracting  parties  coming 
from  Arizona.  Only  a few  weeks  ago  two  of 
Tucson’s  most  prominent  Chinese  merchants 
brought  their  intended  Vv^ives  to  this  city  and 
were  married  by  Father  Morin.  On  Friday  last 
Gio  Chan  See,  also  of  Tucson,  arrived  with  a 
fair  American  Girl  and  the  couple  was  married 
the  same  evening.  Gio  Chan  See  is  a big  mer- 
chant in  Tucson,  and  has  lived  in  this  country 
more  than  twenty  years.  And  thus  the  Chinese 
question  is  being  solved,  as  those  who  marry 
here  will  always  remain  as  citizens  of  Uncle 
Sam.

Albert  Vega  and  Herbert  Lyons,  two  of 
Silver  City’s  promising  kids,  had  an  altercation 
on  Wednesday  evening,  in  which  Vega  received 
a knife  wound  in  the  left  arm.  It  is  claimed  by 
onlookers  that  Vega  was  intoxicated  and  was 
the  aggressor,  and  that  young  Lyons  acted  in 
self  defense.  The  wound  though  painful  is  not 
very  serious.  Doctor  Guthrie  was  called  and 
attended  to  the  wants  of  the  wounded  young- 
ster.
