More than 100 witnesses have been
brought here from Salt river valley in
connection with it, and az the charge
was the finale OF the bloodisst fsud
ever known on the coast. particular
interest attaches to 1t.
THE VENDETTA,
In the early days old man Tewksbury
and his sons came from California and
settled in the Tonts basin in Northern
Arizona, where they engaged in raising
cattle. About the same time four OF the
Grahams came from Missouri and set
sled near BY. For . time things ran
smoothly, and they assisted esch other
In the protection OF their mutual inter-
ests, after the manner Of frontisrsmen.
The dispute arose over . division OF
ranges, and the trouble began by the
killing of q sheep herder belonging to
one OF the clans, which then numbered
perhaps SCORE OF men each.
Reprisals followed until in August .
1892 only Ed. Tewksbury and Thomas
Graham of the belligerents, were left.
The others had eithsr left the countr y
or been killed aad a. Graham had
moved to Tempe 1t WAS thought that
tho fsud in which more than 40 men
had lost their lives, WAS ended. On
August End, 1892, Graham started to
Tempe with load of barley. On turn
ing an angle in lane he was fred on
from behind with Q Winchester rife
and shot through the spine. He fell
over on the barley and the horses
carried him to his house little further
on. People who heard the shot looked
to see what was the trouble and MOTTO.
ing Graham'a position went to examine
him and carried him into the house
where he died in the afternoon of the
same day.
GRAHAM's STORY.
Graham said that Tewksbury and
John Rhodes, his brothar-in-lsw, did
the shooting. That upon hearing q
noise he turned around In the seat and
saw Tewknbury with his gun to his
shoulder. He tried to throw himself
behind the horses, but at that instant
the shot came and he fell back para
lyzed, though for . time he was con.
soious. Tewksbury rode up behind the
wagon. but, thinking his enemy dead,
did not shoot again. He rode away to.
ward the Tonic basin, while Rhodes
went in the opposite direction to Tempe.
This was Grsham's story. On the day
Rhodes wss arrested sad taken 10 fhoe-
nix, whore. after an examining trial he
was discharged, Tewksbury. learning Of
the charge Of murder against him. came
down and gave himself up. The grand
Jury of Maricopa county indicted him -
charged, and he has since been in jail
in one or tho other OF the counter.
