Sion Bradley Killed

We are favored by Mr. James Gilchrist with a copy of the Arizona Miner, giving account of the killing of Sion Bradley, formerly of Philipsburg, Montana, by Hiram Lightner, in a saloon at Prescott, Arizona. The shooting occurred June 29, from a quarrel over a game of cards. Bradley was drunk and unarmed; Lightner sober. The latter shot at him four times, three taking effect. He died July 5th. He was a native of Crawford county, Missouri, has been on the Pacific coast many years, and was an expert pistol shot. Lightner is in jail.
