| Prescott Morning Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Saturday, June 27, 1904, page 2, column 4 Jud Mullen Killed Word reached Prescott last evening of a killing which took place at a point between Dewey and Iron King about 2 p.m., the particulars, as far as obtainable, are as follows: Jud Mullen with two companions all mounted on horses, were returning from McCabe, when without any warning Fred Hickman (sic Hicklin) stepped out from behind a house, gun in hand, and fired upon Mullen, shooting him through the heart. Mullen fell from the horse dead. As his companions wheeled their horses to go to his assistance a woman came out, shotgun in hand, and warned them to stay away or she would shoot them. Sheriff Roberts left for McCabe last evening having received news that Hickman was in custody at that point. It is stated that Hickman returned from San Francisco the day before the shooting. He had been in San Francisco under medical treatment. Mullen was about 27 years old, and was a miner by occupation. His father, who lives at Hico, Texas, 15 miles from Ft. Worth has been telegraphed to as to what disposition is to be made of the remains. Rumor as to the killing, is that there is a woman in the case. Transcriber's note: Mr. Mullins is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. His surname has many spellings, Mullin, Mullins, Mullen, Mullino, etc. |
