Each was shot twice in the fusilade which followed. Tipppen’s wounds, while painful, are not of a serious nature, one of the bullets taking effect in his shoulder, and the other in his hip.

November 3, 1903 DEATH OF J. H. COLLINS-Word was received in this city last evening about six o'clock that J. H. Collins had passed away at the territorial insane asylum at Phenix[sic]. Mrs. Collins was at once notified and left on the evening train for that place to attend the funeral which took place in Phenix (sic) at four o'clock this afternoon. The sickness and death of Mr. Collins is one of those pathetic human experiences which cannot fail to touch the heart that has a spark of sympathy. Mr. Collins came to this county some seven or eight years ago, coming from Freson(sic) California, where before taking up the practice of law had been a very successful Congregational minister. He practiced law in Jerome for some years but the two great firs in that camp caused him considerable loss and he came to Prescott to locate. He soon had a very large practice and was counted one of the most successful attorneys in this section of the territory. On account of his large practice combined with a great deal of sickness in his family he finally broke down in both mind and body and it was necessary some months ago to confine him in the territorial asylum but nothing that medical skill or the best of treatment could do was able to restore the shattered constitution and he gradually grew worse until the end came to all his earthly sorrows and trials last evening. He was a man about forty fives years of age, a brilliant and powerful public speaker and to be cut down just in the prime of his usefulness seems a great pity. The numerous friends of Mrs. Collins and family unite in extending their sympathy to them in this hour of their great bereavement.

Moore: Francisco Robles and Roy Jones. These prisoners were ordered discharged.
