PRECIANO ARBALLO
Arizona Republican Newspaper
May 19, 1909

Postmaster, Charles O'Neill, of Old Glory, eighty five miles 
south of Tucson, in Santa Cruz County brought new of the brutal 
murder there of Preciano Arballo, a wealthy ranchman.  Arballo 
was found dead in a canyon a mile from the Mexican line. His 
face was battered until it was almost unrecognizable. It is 
supposed that he was murdered by Mexicans during a mescal drunk, 
under the supposition that he had a large sum of money on his 
person.  Arballo was the original locator of the famous Tres 
Amigos mine in Santa Cruz County.
