| Hassayampa Miner (Wickenburg, Arizona) Thursday, August 30, 1917, p. 1 Killing In Wade Gulch Florencia Guenones, who has been working at the Dobler mine for some time past, was shot and instantly killed by Rafael Auguayo last Tuesday morning. It seems that when Guenones left Mexico a year ago he took Mrs. Auguayo along with him, and Auguayo suddenly stepped out from the bushes, gun in hand and ordered his victim to get down off the wagon, which he did. After cussing him roundly Auguayo opened fire, one shot taking effect in the forehead and another in the breast, either one of which would have proved fatal. Word was telephoned to Wickenburg and Ike Woods and a posse started out at once, and although the search was continued until Wednesday noon no trace of the murderer was found. It is said that Guenones expected trouble as he had a revolver wrapped in a newspaper lying on the wagon seat beside him, but was evidently too frightened to use it. |
