Mysterious death near Bisbee closes frontier pursuit
A decayed body found in Brow's pasture north of the International Line is identified as cowboy John Grayson who disappeared six weeks ago while chased by American cowboys and Mexican frontier guards. A revolver with all chambers fired, a bullet hole in the head, and a hat with powder burns suggest a close range shooting. Horse tracks show Grayson rode toward Brow's pasture fence before abandoning his horse and fleeing on foot. Interrogations of the pursuing party hint at possible self destruction due to a wasted life, with other details involving ranch work for B. A. Packard and conflicts with Tonkin over Sonora cattle.
