JOHN H. MCCARTNEY
Az Silver Belt
October 20, 1888

A Nogales dispatch of the 10th to the S.P. Chronicle says: 
John P. McCartney was found on the roadside last Monday 
near Santa Ana.  The deceased was found on the San Rafael 
Cattle Ranch here owned by Hon. Brewster Cameron and had 
gone to Sonora to buy saddle horses.  The news received 
here says that he committed suicide but everyone here 
takes no stock in this report.  He had a large sum of 
money when he left here about two weeks ago and it is 
supposed that he was killed for it.
