  The�news�came�as�a�kick�to

  of
  reprisal� and� sent� his� warriors
  across�the�Animas�River�to�hit
  settlements�
  throughout�
  the
  region.
  The�attacks�were�well�planned
  and�premeditated.�The�telegraph
  line� between� Rancho� Bucareli
  was� cut� before� dawn� yesterday.
  Four�men�working�the�relay�sta-

  along� with� four� passengers� was
  intercepted�
  near�
  the�
  Little

  stolen,�the�stage�shoved�into�a
  gorge�and�the�passengers�forced
  to�continue�on�foot.
  “We�was�spared�thank�god,”�Ben
  later� reported� at� the� Barking
  Mad� Saloon� in� Muskeegie.� His

  one� of� many� drinks� bought� for
  him�by�the�concerned�crowd�that
  had�gathered�around�him�at�the

  “They� wanted� us� deliver� a

  heard.�They�told�us�that�it�was
  the� settlers� who� broke� the
  treaty.�That�there�would�be�more

  Ben� further� reported� that� he
  was�told�by�Red�Sleeve’s�braves
  that�no�stages�or�supply�wagons
  would�be�permitted�to�pass�along
  the� Old� Spanish� Trail� between

  Ben�had�hardly�barely�finished
  his�tale�when�news�arrived�the
  small� settlement� at� Mercer’s
  Crossing�had�been�burned�out�and
  over� thirty� of� its� inhabitants
  slaughtered.
  On� the� heels� of� that� news
  quickly� came� reports� that� the
  Crooked� Y� Ranch� near� Gallagos
  Canyon�had�been�attacked.
  “We’ll�make�sure�the�beef�and
  other� provisions� keep� coming
  until�more�help�arrives.”
  That� help� could� be� slow� in

  Last� fall’s� gold� strikes� on
  the� Little� Sandy� and� Heffer’s

  sent�

  seekers
  scrambling� west� of� the� Animas

  NEW GOLD STRIKES
  CAME WITH A
  TERRIBLE PRICE!
  
  Just� one� week� after� the
  horrible�
  fire�
  that�
  swept
  through�
  the�
  home�
  of
  Rutherford�
  and�
  Marisa
  Hobart,�the�couple�and�their
  boy,� Antonio,� are� back� at
  home�safe�and�sound.
  The� whole� town,� it� seems,
  rallied� behind� the� unfortu-
  nate� family,� rebuilding� the
  domicile�from�the�ground�up.
  Timber�was�donated�by�Ernest
  Sutter,� and� a� quilt� raffle
  was�held�to�raise�money.
  Mr.�Hobart�had�this�to�say
  about� the� support� shown� by
  the�community.�“It�was�over-
  whelming.�
  We�
  didn’t�
  know
  what� we� were� going� to� do.
  Thanks� to� the� kind� folk� of
  Muskeegie,� we� will� be� able
  to�carry�on�with�our�lives.”
  Hobart,� the� town� butcher,
  was�
  so�
  grateful�
  to�
  his
  neighbors� that� he� announced
  he� is� providing� beef� for
  next�month’s�Town�Picnic.
  I’m�going�to�have�the�boys
  put�up�four�or�five�spits�and
  we’re� going� to� turn� some
  ribs�dripping�with�sauce.�No
  one� will� leave� hungry.� Our
  way�of�saying�thanks.”
  Mrs.� Hobart� stood� up� in
  church� Sunday� morning� and
  openly� shed� tears,� saying,
  “Thank� You� all,� and� thank
  God�for�sparing�our�lives.”

  GUN BRAWL IN BLACK HORSE ENDS
  WITH SIX DEAD - FOUR WOUNDED! WANTED!
  JAKE WINGO
  MURDERER�
  CARD CHEAT
  TILL-TAPPER
  There’s�
  an�
  old�
  saying
  among� those� who� first� set-
  tled�the�San�Juans.
  “Nothing�worth�eating�will
  ever� grow� along� the� Little
  Sandy�and�nothing�good�will
  ever�
  come�
  out�
  of�
  Black
  Horse.”
  The� words� rang� a� little
  truer� yesterday� when� news
  arrived� of� yet� another� gun
  brawl�in�the�streets�of�the
  two�horse�town.
  This� writer� would� like� to
  know� what� they� put� in� the
  whiskey�down�there.�This�is
  the� fourth� shooting� this
  month.� And� by� my� count� the
  12th�person�killed.
  Details�are�sketchy�but�it
  looks� like� our� old� friend
  Jake� Wingo� is� still� in� the
  region.� Jake� and� his� boys
  were� ran� out� of� Muskeegie
  last�October�after�running
  crooked�tables�and�various
  schemes�to�cheat�good�cit-
  izens�of�their�hard�earned
  money.
  He� was� given� a� tar� and
  feather� suit� as� a� parting
  gift� as� well� as� a� few
  bruised�ribs.
  Well�now�you�can�add�mur-
  der�to�his�list�of�crimes.
  Apparently�
  the�
  folk�
  of
  Black� Horse� didn’t� take
  kindly�to�a�game�of�dice�he
  was�running�and�called�him
  on�it.
  When� the� smoke� cleared
  six� men� lay� dead� (three
  being� members� of� Jake’s
  gang.�Jake�himself�somehow
  managed�to�slip�loose�dur-
  ing� the� shoot� out.� A� $200
  dollar�
  reward�
  is�
  being
  offered�for�his�head.
  
  A� terrible� pestilence� has
  plagued� our� fair� town� for
  far�too�long,�and,�many�good
  citizens�believe�it�is�past
  time�
  for�
  action.�
  Last
  night’s�shooting�is�a�prime
  example.
  This� reporter� joins� them
  in�calling�for�a�referendum
  to� stop� the� sordid� happen-
  ings� in� Four� Corners� --
  namely�the�business�of�ped-
  dling�flesh�and�drunkenness.�
  “This� is� not� the� sort� of
  element�we�want�our�town�to
  be� known� for,”� said� Dick
  Robertson� at� an� emergency
  town� meeting� held� at� the
  church,� speaking� of� this
  problem.
  It� is� obvious,� to� anyone
  with� any� sense� of� civic
  responsibility�
  that�
  this
  section�of�town�needs�to�be
  cleaned�up,�with�the�harsh-
  est� of� soaps.� Otherwise,
  Muskeegie�
  is�
  doomed�
  to
  become� nothing� more� than� a
  den�of�iniquity.
  There�have�been�reports�of
  brawling,�
  petty�
  larceny,
  public�drunkenness�and�worse
  taking�
  place�
  within�
  the
  areas� of� Drake,� Filmore,
  Bryce�and�Main�Streets.�
  Just� last� week� a� man� was
  shot� in� a� dispute� over� the
  payment� of� one� of� these
  “ladies”,�right�in�the�mid-
  dle� of� Main� Street!� It� is
  only� by� God’s� grace� that
  some�poor�innocent�child�or
  other� citizen� hasn’t� been
  seriously�injured�in�any�of
  these�incidents.�It�is�only
  a�matter�of�time�before�such
  a�tragedy�befalls�us,�if�we
  fail�to�act�swiftly.
  If� these� business� propri-
  etors�
  cannot�
  keep�
  their
  establishments�from�being�a
  nuisance,� or� danger� to� the
  town,�we�citizens�must�step
  in.�--Barbara�Ann�McIntosh
  FOUR CORNERS
  TRAVESTY
  A Call to Action for
  all Good Citizens!!
  Martin�
  Vance�
  of�
  the
  Muskeegie� Telegraph� Branch
  has�informed�the�Herald�that
  there�are�no�immediate�plans
  to�
  repair�
  the�
  line�
  to
  Lazarus.�
  “I can’t�
  in�
  good�
  con-
  science�send�my�men�out�with
  the�Apache�on�the�warpath�as
  they� are”� he� said.� “We� all
  remember� what� happened� to
  Clem�Birch�and�them�Saunders
  boys�last�summer.�They�never
  did� find� all� the� pieces� to
  Clem.�
  Until�
  I have�
  some
  assurance� of� safety� for� my
  men� the� wire� will� remain
  down.”
  Vance’s�
  extreme�
  caution
  isn’t�
  sitting�
  well�
  with
  local�businessmen.
  “The� situation� is� unac-
  ceptable”�
  writes�
  Tom
  Hovermale� of� the� Muskeegie
  Bank.�“The�Telegraph�Company
  has�been�extorting�a�dollar
  per�word�for�sending�wires.
  It’s�outrageous.�But�we�tol-
  erated�their�demands�because
  we� we� were� told� the� money
  goes� toward� maintaining� the
  wire�and�paying�the�men�who
  suffer�the�risk�while�going
  about�their�jobs.�Well�we’ve
  been� ponying� up� to� cover
  that�risk.�Now�it’s�time�for
  them� to� saddle� some� of� it
  and� get� those� wires� back
  up.”
  A� conspicuous� “Closed� til
  Further� Notice”� sign� now
  hangs� on� in� the� window� of
  the�telegraph�office.
  TELEGRAPH LINE

  REPAIRS EXPECTED
  TWO SLAIN ON FOUR CORNERS
  AFTER GUNS ARE DRAWN.
  Gunsmoke�once�again�rolled
  down� the� intersection� of
  Drake�and�Main�as�two�drunk-
  ards� resorted� to� drawing
  pistols� to� settle� an� argu-
  ment.
  According�
  to�
  wittnesses
  Thomas�“The�Nail”�Byron�and
  Garret� “Arizona”� McGovern
  were� playing� FARO� at� the
  Bucking� Tiger� Saloon� when
  words�were�exchanged.
  “Tommy�
  was�
  running�
  the
  coffin�for�the�Faro�board.”
  explained�
  Juan�
  Esparso.
  “He’d�been�pulling�the�cork
  pretty� hard� --� he� yanked
  some� good� color� from� his
  claim�yesterday�and�was�cel-
  ebrating.� He� lost� his� card
  count.�Cost�Arizona�his�bet.
  The�man�was�rightly�upset.”
  When�
  Byron�
  refused�
  to
  cover�McGovern’s�bet�insults
  were� hurled� the� two� men
  began�to�shove�and�tussle.
  To� soothe� the� hard� feel-
  ings� the� House� offered� to
  cover�the�bet.�McGovern�how-
  ever�refused�to�let�the�mat-
  ter� drop.� He� felt� slighted
  by�the�insults�and�demanded
  an�apology.�When�no�came�the
  argument� spilled� out� on� to
  the�street.
  Witnesses�
  claim�
  it�
  was
  McGovern�who�drew�first�and
  fired� two� shots� -� both� of
  which� missed.� Byron� then
  followed� suit� and� returned
  fire�-�also�missing.
  On� the� next� volley� both
  men�fired�at�the�same�time.
  Byron� took� a� bullet� to� the
  neck�and�dropped�dead�on�the
  spot.
  McGovern�was�struck�in�the
  belly.�He�writhed�in�pain�on
  the� street� while� Doc� was
  summoned.�He�had�expired�by

  “It� was� a� simple� clerical
  error,”�
  reports�
  Gideon
