Lead
On a Sunday morning between three and four o’clock, Small shot Fountain at her house after a quarrel following several bottles of beer [2][1]. Small stated Fountain called her vile names, then left the house; she followed him to the door and fired to scare him, but the wound proved fatal within a few hours [2][1]. Fountain had worked for some time at the Kleptomania mine and won the esteem of those who knew him [2][1]. His remains were shipped to Las Cruces for interment the following Monday [2][1].
