FRANK JONES
GEORGE MOULWING
November 3, 1905
Arizona Republican Newspaper

Mrs. Wolf of the Upper Tombstone Canyon, says the Bisbee 
Review, returned yesterday from Douglas where she went on 
Saturday to investigate a rumor of the hanging of her son, 
Frank Jones and George Moulwing somewhere in the Guadalupe 
Canyon country in Mexico below the San Bernardino Ranch.

The two men left Bisbee about three weeks ago for a hunting 
trip in Mexico.  Nothing has since been heard from them.  
Saturday morning an unknown man brought word to Mrs. Wolf 
that her son's body and that of his companion had been 
found hanging from a tree in Guadalupe Canyon.  At Douglas 
she was unable to learn anything.  A message to San 
Bernardino Ranch brought answer that nothing was known 
there.  Mrs. Wolf then employed a man familiar with the 
canyon country to go there and make search for her son, 
following which she returned to this city to await 
developments.

The Guadalupe Hanging
November 9, 1905

Several days ago the Republican printed a story of the 
reported execution of two young men by hanging somewhere 
in the Guadalupe Canyon below the San Bernardino Ranch in 
Santa Cruz County.  One of the young men supposed to have 
met his death was Frank Jones, who made his home in this 
city several years ago.  His father, J.T. Jones is a wagon 
maker and at present has his shop in the same building 
with Jack Kersting, the blacksmith.

Yesterday Mr. Jones received a letter from his daughter, 
Mrs. M.E. Hodges, who is now in Bisbee but the missive 
threw little light on the affair.  She wrote that young 
Jones in company with a friend, had left for a month's 
hunt in Mexico and that the month would not be up until 
the 15th of November.  After he had been out about a 
week, a man coming across the border by way of the 
Canyon Guadalupe brought the news that the two men 
were hanged there several days before.  He gave no 
particulars.  A messenger was at once dispatched to 
the scene of the reported tragedy and he has now 
returned with the report that he could find no trace 
of the boys or of any hanging.  On this information 
the police at Bisbee are inclined to doubt the truth 
of the first report.  Mr. Jones several days ago 
offered a reward for the arrest of the murderers.

Living or Dead
November 18, 1905

J.T. Jones, the father of the young man who was reported 
to have been hanged by desperadoes in the Guadalupe Canyon 
in Mexico, received a letter from his daughter in Bisbee.  
From the letter it is now learned that his son was not h
anged but may possibly have been one of a party of six 
that were shot by a mob.  Three of the party were killed 
outright and three very dangerously.  One of the six 
men was by name Frank Jones, the same as that of the 
young man who is missing and it is for that reason that 
his father is so uneasy.

The information contained in the letter was obtained from 
the man who first started the report of the story.  If it 
should develop that young Jones was one of the men killed, 
the father will at once take action to locate the 
murderer.  If no trouble has befallen him the father 
will hear in a few days.  No motive in the letter 
received is given for the action of the mob in taking 
the lives of the Americans.  All that is stated is 
that the bodies of the three men killed were identified 
and turned over to the parties who claimed them.  The 
three injured men were taken to a hospital.

Whether Frank Jones is alive or not, his absence from Bisbee 
has caused his parents and family no end of worry.  If he 
did not reach Bisbee on the 15th of the month, the Arizona 
Rangers will be asked to locate the Frank Jones who was 
shot and ascertain if he is the son of J.T. Jones of 
this city.
