Another tragedy in Kingman was the killing of James 
Stevenson, a foreman at the famous Gold Road Mine, by 
John Fitzpatrick, a discharged miner.  The latter 
claimed he had been badly treated and meeting Stevenson 
struck him, a fight ensuing in which Stevenson got the 
worst of it.  It is claimed he then threatened the life 
of Fitzpatrick and when they met again both were armed 
but Fitzpatrick was the more handy with the gun else 
there was something the matter with his antagonists weapon.

Fitzpatrick was held to the Grand Jury under a bond of 
$2500 but was taken to Prescott to appear in habeas 
corpus proceedings.  It is understood that Judge Sloan 
was ill and Sheriff Harris returned to Kingman with 
his prisoner.
