C.W. Holladay
September 1, 1895

Pima Co. Az

Word reached us late last night that C.E. Holiday was shot and 
probalby mortally wounded by Jontie Hunt at the distillery at 
Pima, about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

It seems that Holladay had a dog with him which Hunt undertook 
to drive away by slapping him.  This aroused Holladay, who it 
is said, abused Hunt in regular frontier style, which caused 
Hunt to throw a rock at Holladay which missed him.  Holladay 
then commenced searching for a rock and when he was stooping 
over to pick it up Hunt drew a 45 caliber sixshooter and shot 
him, the ball entering through the shoulder blade, ranging 
downward, but it did not come out.  At last accounts Holladay 
was sitll alive.

After the shooting Hunt dropped the gun, hunted up an officer 
and surrendered himself.
