Globe--The horrible murder committed on Salt River 
Wednesday evening has created great excitement here.  
All the men on the river have joined the pursuit and if 
captured, the murderer, See, will probably be lynched.

Great indignation was felt when the news was brought to Globe 
of a terrible murder which was committed on Salt River. John 
M. See shot and killed his wife at the residence of her 
brother-in-law, Mr. Gann.  See, who is a worthless scoundrel 
has not lived happily with his wife and some time ago, 
exasperated by his cruelty she left him and at the time 
of her death was living with her sister, Mrs. Gann.  See 
hung around the house all day trying to have her go back to
live with him but she refused.

About 6 o'clock she went to the corral to milk and while she 
was thus engaged See came up behind and shot her  twice.  
The first bullet entered over the heart and the second 
entered at the pit of the stomach.  Deputy Sheriff George 
Pemberton left for the river yesterday morning.  See was but 
recently released from jail.
