JOSE MIRANDO
Arizona Republican Newspaper, Phoenix
June 10, 1901

A Mexican was found dead a few days ago on Harper's 
Mesa, a few miles northeast of Metcalf in Graham County.  
A Coroner's jury found the body to be that of Jose Mirando 
and that he came to his death from a bullet wound 
inflicted by some unknown person.  The dead man was 
a wood chopper and in company with another Mexican, 
left the camp about a week before the finding of the 
body, hunting burros, each carrying a Winchester.  
After they had been gone a few days the Mexican for 
whom they were working became alarmed over their 
absence and commenced hunting for them.  It seems 
that the companion of the deceased was first to 
give notice of the killing.  He told someone that 
his partner had been killed after which he left the 
country and has not been heard from.  It is said that 
a beef, which had been quartered, was found a short 
distance from the body.
