The Tucson Citizen that came yesterday morning contained 
an account of a double murder at Silver Bell about 11:30 
o'clock Monday night.  The victims were Dave Hawkins and 
J.F. White.  With two companions, W.J. Warren and R.J. 
Cochrane, they were returning from a saloon when, 
according to the report, they were fired upon by one 
of three Mexicans whom they met in the road.  Hawkins 
was killed instantly and White died the next morning.  
They claim the Mexicans fired without warning and without 
previous altercation to provoke him.  The three Mexicans 
fled from the cmap but officers are on their trail and 
have good descriptions of them.
