ho had been to Pitzpatrick's saloon in
Live Oak gulch, whoro ho had taken
a number of drinks, and on tho return

where ho had taken several more drinks,
and was en route to tho city when ar

Witnessed the Shooting
The shooting wis witnessed by Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Kinnoy, who live on
Mosquito street, adjoining tho railroad
tracks. Mrs. Kinney stated that shortly
after 7 o'olqek sho noticed a man pass
her house riding on a black horse. He
rode up on the railroad track. Sho saw
a flash, then heard a pistol report, close
ly followed by the cries of James, who
had just passed to tho tracks. Tho man
who had fired tho shot dashed south on
tho railroad and was out of sight when
Mrs. Kinnoy and her husband reached
tho scene. Mrs. Kinney stated that

Buekner Mado Threats
About noon yesterday Henry Buekner
went to tho Shuto livery stablo and
hired a black laddlo horse, for just
what purpose ho did not state. From
what information that could bo gath
ered last night ho rodo tho animal into
tho business district of tho city, pass
ing up and down Broad street a num
ber of times and watched tho move
ments of James. About 2 o'clock in
kho nftornoon ho hitched tho horso in
front of Anderson's confectionery store,
whero tho pony remained tied, it is said,
until about 5 or 0 o'clock. Buekner
tho Gibson cami). Sovoral of theso
churns wore tnkon undor bond from Sam
Gibson. James purchased n half inter
est in tho claims from tho Wests and
last winter Bucknor sot up a claim
that ho had grubstuked tho two Wests
when thoy located tho claims nnd that
ho was entitled to a half intorest in
thorn. Thoy refused to comply with his
demands and Bucknor tried to got dif
ferent lawyors in tho city to tako tho
caso on a contingont basis, but was
turned down, us thoro seemed to bo no
legal merit in his contentions, and tho
West boys were advised by James to
pay no attention to Bucknor, as ho hnd
no legal claim to tho proporty. That
was last winter. Sovoral times slnco
then Buekner hns tried to interest peo
ple in his behalf in his contost for tho
proporty, but hns failed. A short timo
ago work was temporarily abandoned
on tho group, but Buekner has novor
ceased to push his claim, nnd- ou n
niimbor of occasions during tho past
few months, whilo drinking, has threat
ened tho lives of tho men namod.
Tho West Boys Notiflod
After tho shooting of James and it
was learned that Bucknor had threat
ened tho lives of the West boys, Deputy
Sheriff Voris telephoned tp tho Glbsou
camp and notified tho Wests of tho
tragedy in this city and to bo on tho
lookout for Bucknor, as it was thought
he would go straight to tho Gib3on
camp to more fully carry out ids throat.
Tho Wests were glad to recolvo the
information and, armed to tho teeth,
laid in wait for Bucknor, but ho did
not show up. It is beliovcd, however,
that Buekner had intended to go to the
Gibson camp, after tho shooting hero,
but after taking a few more drinks at
tho HoUidny saloon changed Ids tactics
and decided to return to the city, play
innocent and, if arrested, undortako to
provo an alibi, which ho started in to
do immediately after having been ap
prehended by ' Banger Anderson. If
Buekner had carried out his supposed
original plans and gono to tho Gibson
camp, ho would probably bo dead now,
as tho West boys arc well ablo to care
for themselves under any circumstances,
and with advance warning it ia more
than likely that they would have shot
Buekner on sight. Hanger Holmes, who
was in the city yesterday and who, it
is thought, left for Roosevolt in tho
.afternoon, was also wired to bo on the
lookout for Buekner who, it was thought
might try to make his escape iin that
direction. f
Mr. James Makes Sworn Statement
Shortly after having been removed to
the hospital, nnd his recovery was con
sidered doubtful, Mr. James mado a
sworn statement to District Attorney
L. L. Henry, tho acknowledgment hav
ing been mado by Notary Public Bru.
In this statement Mr. James said that
ho positively identified Henry Buekner
as tho man who shot him. lie further
asserted that ho had no trouble with
Mr. Buekner during tho day; in fact,
ho had not spoken to him for a number
of weeks, and had never had any real
trouble with him. Bucknor, he said,
had made a demand on Al West for $300
alleged to bo duo as his interest in
the mining claims and that ho (James)
had objected to tho payment. He fur
ther stated that ho had seen Buekner
riding up and down Broad street and
watching him during then fternoon and
that his actions wero suspicious. Mr.
James insisted that tho officers notify
tho West boys at once, so that tncy
would bo ready in caso Uuckner wont to
their camp.
Shortly after making this statement
Mr. James was placed upon tho operat
ing tabic and his injuries closely exam
ined. It was found that the bullet had
entered tho chest squaro in tho center
nnd had glanced downward and mado
its exit just abovo tho right hip, pass
ing through tho liver and stomach, but
not through tho intestines. Tho wound
is not considered necessarily fatal, but
is of a decidedly serious nature.
James Makes a Will
For sovoral hours after tho tragedy
ho fell in lovo with and won tho heart
of a neico of tho lato Mrs. "Livingston.
His suit was opposed by relatives of
tho girl, who refused to permit her to
wed him, and the pair camo to Globe
and wore quietly married in this city.
Thoy havo resided here tho greater por
tion of tho timo since. It is said that
Mrs. Bucknor is now visiting with rela
tives in Toxas. After coining to Globo
ho engaged in tho mining business,
operating claims on tho upper Pinto
without success. Ho wns later interest
ed with Jack Newman in mining prop
orty, but hns never mado much head
way. It is said that Buekner has re
cently returned from a visit to Texas.
Ho is a man about 35 years of age,
and drinks at times very heavy. Whon
undor tho influence of liquor, especially
during tho past year, ho ,has intimated
to a number of pcoplo that ho had it
in for a number of prominent local men
whom ho would got soonor or later. On
ono occasion about six weeks ago he
visited tho Silver Bolt office whilo in
toxicated and, told printer that he
had it in for a numbor of hicn, rofusing
to givo names, and that he would fix
them if ho over had a chance.
A Prominent Business Man
David Jamos, who was shot, is man
ngor nnd ono of tho chief stockholders
in" tho Globo Electric Light, Gas &
Power company. Ho Is an inoiTcnsivc,
square-dealing man, and for this rea
son, nftcr it was announced that ho had
fallen a victim to a would-be assassin's
ballot and before ho had made a state
ment connecting Buekner with the
crime, it was hard for friends of the
man to dotormino who might bo respon
sible for tho tragedy. Ho is recognized
as one of the moving spirits of tho city
and the comfortable competence that
ho has acquired was mado by hard
knocks and close application to busi
ness. Ho is at tho hend of a happy
little family, having a wife, a daughter i
who is just budding into womanhood
nnd tho baby boy that nestled on the
wounded man's breast last night. His
loss would be keenly folt by tho happy
littlo family and his death would bo
a severe blow to tho city.
Buekner in a Drunken t'Uipor
After .having been locked in a cell
at tho county jail Buekner .itxgercd
about tho floor ior an hour o. so pro
testing his innocence. Ho finally laid
down on a cot and was soon in a heavy
drunken stupor. It is believed when he
awakens this morning ho will fully rec
ognize tho folly of sticking to tho story
that ho was at tho Jones camp when
,tho tragedy was enacted ftnd romo
through with some story looking toward
a justification of tho crime. The saloon
men with whom he placed the revolver
yesterday afternoon will bo ablo to
identify the weapon with which he did
tho shooting, if they hnvo not already,
and Mrs. Middleton nnd Mrs. Ashby
will bo ablo to testify that ho passed
their houses going at breakneck speed
shortly after they heard the report of
tho shot. And again, thoro is the ad
ditional cvidonco and positive identi
fication of Mr. James.

Across tho Gila river, north from
Solomonville, is a vast uninhabited
region, known indefinitely as tho Bluo
country. It extends to and includes tho
San Carlos Indian reservation and sur

owned by J. II. Hampson of Kansas

There are numerous other smaller
ranches, but on the wholo the country
is so sparsely settled as to seem to be
uninhabited. A considerable portion is
covered with pine forest and it is a
paradiso for tho sportsman. Tho moun

of the smaller game aro found in great
numbers.
A strip of coal bearing land, running
from the Gallup fields, soutnweswo mo
