CONCEPCION VILLA
Arizona Republican Newspaper
December 18, 1905

A most brutal murder was committed Thursday last on 
the Shannon Hill near Metcalf by Jesus Maria Garcia, 
who stabbed Concepcion Villa, who was living with him 
as his wife, killing her instantly.  Soon after 
committing the terrible deed Garcia placed the muzzle 
of a pistol beneath and fired, the ball passing 
through his mouth and inflicting a serious, but not 
dangerous wound.  Justice Campbell was soon at the 
spot and took charge of the wounded man and it was 
well that he did, because the Mexican population was 
so incensed over the affair that they would probalby 
have finished the job on Garcia.  Realizing that 
violence was almost sure to be meted out to the 
prisoner, Judge Campbell brought him to Clifton on 
the first trian, where he has since been at the A.C. 
hospital and is recovering rapidly.  Both parents 
were from Spain. Jealousy was the cause of the trouble.
