water washed away Cook’s store: he stayed to help Cook save his goods. When he returned to his ranch a few days ago, he found the county supervisor Childs had reported him dead and had discharged his hired man and employed another, and was going to sell his property, as administrator. This hired man, named Andy, saddled up Apusy’s mule, turned his three cows out, stole his money and notes, about $130 and a six-shooter and was riding away. Apusy told him to come back; he replied that he was going to drive cows and would not do it. He (Apusy) shot him with a Winchester; found his money on him. Hogs were eating his body up and he tried to burn it. β€” Globe Silver Belt.
