past few years. The Halls were soon joined by
others as tough and hard as themselves, and
they soon commenced to make life miserable
for men engaged legitimately in the stock busi-
ness in Grant and Graham counties. Not satis-
fied with stealing stock by the wholesale, they
soon gave it out that they had it in for a number
of the most prominent citizens of that section,
repeatedly threatening the lives of no less than
eight or ten of the most prominent citizens of
the two counties. As far back as two years ago
quite a number of stockmen informed the writer
that the Pine Cienega gang had threatened their
lives and that they were fearful of being
assassinated.
About three years ago Tom Hall killed a
man at Pine Cienega. The man was a stranger,
hailing, it is said, from Texas. It was said that
the killing occurred over a dispute at cards.
Hall was not indicted by the grand jury as there
was no evidence against him.
