Alberto Preciado, whose parents own a milk ranch ten miles 
south of town, met with an accidental death at the hands of 
his older brother last Wednesday afternoon.  Alberto had been 
practicing with a target rifle and got a cartridge stuck in 
the chamber so that it would neither come in nor go out. His 
brother, Jose, took the gun remarking that he knew how to get 
it out.  The younger brother laid down on a bed nearby and had 
barely done so when the gun in the hands of Jose weas 
accidentally discharged and the bullit pierced Alberto's 
heart.  The coroner's jury found in accordance with the 
above.  Yuma
