Mexican Wounded In Shooting Fray At Study Butte
A Mexican, described as a wet Mexican, was jailed with a bullet wound to the arm after a shooting fray at Study Butte in the Big Bend. Jesus Anaya allegedly fired an automatic pistol at Polk Hinson’s store over a refused beer, endangering several people including Herbert Wright and Mrs. Wright who helped subdue him. Anaya reloaded during the volley and fled into darkness before officers found him at a ranch house in the Christmas Mountains. The wound was deemed not serious.
