The killing occurred in Reams' saloon and was the result of an old feud or former trouble between the parties. The cause of the trouble is said to have been a dog, but the particular nature of it could not be learned. Muzzio is alleged to have made threats that he would kill Reams and when he came into the latter's place and started the row again Reams shot and killed him. A preliminary examination of Reams was held this morning and he was held under $1,500 to appear before the grand jury and answer to a charge of manslaughter. -------------------- Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, August 16, 1899, page 3, column 5 (From Monday's Daily) The funeral of the late Philip Muzzio, who was shot and killed at Big Bug on Friday night, took place in Prescott, yesterday afternoon. -------------------- Prescott Weekly Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, August 18, 1899, page 2, column 1 (From Monday's Daily) The funeral of the late Philip Muzzio took place yesterday afternoon from Logan's undertaking parlors. -------------------- Transcriber's note: No specific place of burial has been found for Mr. Muzzio, but it is possible that he is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
