CHARLES FLAKE
Dec 3, 1892
Arizona Silver Belt

A special of Dec 8 to the Belt from Holbrook says that a double 
killing occurred at Snow Flake, apache County, on that day.  
Charles Flake of Flake Brothers was shot and killed by a cowboy 
whom he attempted to arrest.  The cowboy, whose name is not given 
is said to have been the bank robber who got away with the funds 
of the San Marcial, N.M. bank.

After Charles Flake was shot, his brother James and the cowboy 
exchanged shots at the same instant, without further damage 
than that James Flake's ear was perforated by the bullet from 
the antagonists gun.  James Flake got in a second shot which 
killed the cowboy.

The Flake Brothers keep a store and post office at Snowflake.
