A killing occurred at Hay Canyon in Graham County on the 
morning of the 29th while Stockton's round-up was working 
in that section, says the Copper Era.  The killing was 
done by Joe Grammer, in the employ of the L.C. Company and 
I.Z. Burris, a cook for the round-up was the victim.  The 
killing occurred in the morning after all the men except 
the principals and Walter Newman had left camp.  Newman 
was the only witness to the killing except Grammer.  After 
the killing Grammer got on his horse and left.  Newman 
notified some of the cowboys and after a coroner's inquest 
was held at which Newman testified that Grammer and Burris 
had been quarreling and Grammer got on his horse and 
started to leave when Burris commenced shooting.  Grammer 
got down from his horse and ran past Burris into the house 
where he secured a Winchester from under the bed with 
which he shot and killed Burris. 

Deputy Sheriffs John Parks and Gus Hobbs left Clifton, 
Thursday night in pursuit of Grammer.  They first went to 
Lyon and Campbell's' "Red Barn" on the Gila where they 
learned that Grammer had not yet put in an appearance. 
They spent the day along the river and learned that 
Grammer had been stopping at the L.C. Horse Ranch on 
Sacaton.  They got a guide and reached Sacaton about 3 
o'clock the next morning. (print too hard to read).  The 
deputies who made the capture were congratulated by their 
many friends.  The boys were in the saddle two days and 
nights.
