Algira, according to eye witnesses of the shooting, informed Brown, foreman of the sheep interests of William McIntyre that he would quit his job, whereupon Brown protested against him leaving without giving notice so that another man might be employed. Words followed, when it is said, Algira approached Brown with a piece of an iron bar in his hand, whereupon Brown pulled his gun and fired two shots, with the above effects. The wounded man was placed aboard the train a few hours afterward and started for Prescott. Brown and companions also boarded the same train and came as far as Ash Fork to appear before the justice of the peace. In the hearing that followed, Brown was held to appear before the next grand jury for assault with a deadly weapon, and furnished bail. Algira's death followed later. Brown will be rearrested on a new charge immediately. Brown is will known in range circles in the northern part of the country, being a one armed man. Transcriber's note: Mr. Algira is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona
