A misunderstanding arose between Wood Poland and a half-breed Indian commonly kown as “Frank,” at Poland’s ranch on the upper Gila this week. Wood Poland was sort- ing over some dried fruit, when the Indian came into the cabin and commenced shooting at him.

John reports considerable snow in the Big Burros.
