FRANK ELWOD
August 8, 1897
Arizona Republican Newspaper

Word reached Solomonville Monday of the killing of Frank Elwood 
foreman of the Turle Cattle Compnay Ranch near Clifton.  Elwood 
was at Metcalf Sunday wearing a six-shooter around the saloons 
and drinking heavily. He was appraoched by a Mexican deputy 
constable named Rodelia and told to take off his gun and put 
it away. Edwood answered him with an oath and made some 
insulting remark, whereupon the constable left the saloon 
and procuring a shotgun, returned and opened fire on Elwood 
with deadly effect.  Frank Elwood formerly worked for Hamson's 
Ranch and was well liked by all the cowmen thought, he was apt 
to be troublesome.
