Scott, colored, a former resident of Phoneix and one of the most expert crap shooters that ever took a chance on the field is in serious trouble in Bisbee. His left arm was broken by a bullet from a six-shooter in the hands of Yellow Dick, another sport of African lineage, while a second bullet punctured the skin of the abdomen but fortunately glanced and did not leave a dangerous wound. Scott at one time drove a job wagon here and later went to Gila County, where he cooked in a mining camp, and drifted into Bisbee on the late boom. He has enjoyed an unusual amount of family discord for a long time and has hinted that his wife did not love him as much as she might if she tried real hard. After going to Bisbee, this condition failed to improve, with the result that Thursday morning himself and wife were in the local justice's court where he charged her with having fits and she charged him with various sorts of unkindness. The result of the session was that he was fined $7.50 and after court they began a more or less amicable division of community property under the supervision of an officer who was there to preserve peace. Friday evening Emanuel met Yellow Dick back of the engine house and when the officers arrived he was out of the game as above described, while Yellow Dick had a bad cut behind the left ear that might have been the work of a razor. Both were arrested but neither would say who was the aggressor in the fight and Dick refused to say anything. He would not even give his other name or state whether or not he had had trouble with anybody. But he did not need to for the gash behind the ear was eloquent. 1/4/03 Mrs. M.J.
