Antonia and  Gil ARIAZA
Arizona Republican Newspaper
November 1, 1905

Gil Araiza shot and fatally wounded his wife at Mammoth 
last Wednesday and was himself shot in the leg by Justice 
Kegel while trying to escape from the officer, the wound 
proving fatal, says the Florence Blade.  The leg was 
shattered and had to be amputated.  The culprit died 
within a few hours after the operation was performed, 
the shock to his system being a greater strain than he 
could withstand.  The wife, believing that she was on 
her deathbed made a dying statement to Justice Kegel, 
which was in substance as follows: "I, Antonia Araiza, 
believing I am going to die, make this as my dying 
statement: my husband and I had a quarrel.  He said he 
would get the gun and kill me and went and got the gun 
and shot me without provocation."  What caused the 
quarrel was not stated.  The woman died Thursday.
