William Stevens — Saloon Keeper Fined for Furious Driving in Silver City

William Stevens, a saloon keeper at Pinos Altos, was arrested for furious driving in Silver City in 1891 ^[1]. He and a companion were driving at a furious rate up Bullard Street; when Marshal Cantley tried to stop them, they urged the horse to go faster, narrowly escaping running over the marshal ^[1]. Constable Rodriguez followed on horseback and overtook them outside town, but they refused to accompany him without a warrant ^[1]. The next day, Marshal Cantley procured a warrant and arrested the pair at Pinos Altos ^[1]. They were tried before Justice Givens and fined $5 and costs each ^[1].
