PEDRO GUITERAS
June 12, 1896

Morenci.  The quiet of our little mountain town was broken by a 
succession of four shots on Sunday about 6 o'clock.  Immeidately 
after a Mexican was seen running up the side hill. He as instantly 
followed by Officers Rice, Davis and Jobson but having a 
considerable head start, he managed to get beyond the mountains 
and was lost to his pursurers.

A large crowd gathered at the house of Pedro Guiteras where the 
shooting had occurred and Pedro was found lying in the corner of 
the room across a trunk with four bullet holes in his body, one 
in the face, one of the neck and two in the back, any one of 
which would have proven fatal.

The cause of the trouble was a woman, as usual. Pedro saw fit 
to administer corporal punishment on his wife.  His friend 
interfered, a row was the issue, with the results above mentioned.
