10120. The Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory, July 11th, 1868, Unwarrented Attack.

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory July 11th, 1868 UNWARRENTED ATTACK . Thursday night two soldiers from Camp called at the saloon of McPherson , in this town , Jackson & Co. , abused the bar—keeper , Jos. Todd, and for so doing were ejected from the premises by Mr. Jackson. They then went to their camp, got their arms, returned to the saloon and attempted to shoot Mr. Todd . They were then and there disarmed by Deputy Sheriff Brooks , and marched to the calaboose, where they were confined during the night. They were set at liberty next morning, and are by this time on their winding way to McPherson. Whisky, and a grudge which they seemed to have against Mr. Todd, caused them to act so, we suppose.
