182. Deming Headlight, April 26, 1902, p. 1:5. In later years, at his Hot Spring resort, about 20 miles northwest of present-day Deming, Hudson would have available all the water anyone could want, hot or cold.

185. In the early days of single-action revolvers, it was standard practice to leave the chamber under the hammer unloaded to preclude accidental dis- charge.
186. Official Records, Series 1, Vol. 9, pp. 554, 557, Vol. 50, Part 1, pp. 95-98, 119. There is an excellent probability that it was this John Jones who later caused commanders at Fort Cummings much con- cern for having been allowed, by Carleton, to con- struct a substantial building near the spring. It was also indicated that John Lemon was arrested for having provided horses for Jones’ attempted escape. Quite possibly both stories are true.
