The Florence tribune., 1898-12-31

A man committed suicide recently because of a melancholy conviction that he was his own grandfather and here is the letter he left behind him !: "In the first place married widow with grown up daughter. My father visited our house very often, fell in love with my step-daughter and mar ried her. So my father became my son-in-law, because she was my fathers wife. Soon afterward my wife had a son--he was my fathers brother-in-law and my uncle, for he was the brother of my step-mother. My fathers wife, i. e., my step daughter, also had a son. Re was, ot course, my brother, and ih the meantime my graneehild, for he was the son of my daughter; my wife was my grandmother. I was my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of one's grandmother is his grandfather, am my own grandfather.
The Florence tribune., 1898-12-31

It is nearly ten years since Sheriff Glenn Reynolds and Deputy Holmes of Gila county were killed four miles west of Riverside by the Apache Kid and six other Indians they were taking to the territorial prison. Eugene Middleton, who was driving the stage, was desperately wounded and left for dead. It was bloody chapter of Ari- zona history, recalled last Tuesday by the discovery of pair of handcuffs and leg irons lying eaten with rust about one hundred yards west of the scene of butehery. Shields & Prices teams were returning from the Ray miae, when George Smith, one of the drivers, picked up the articles and brought them to Florence. At the time of the murder the stage was be- ing driven up the hill from the big wash. The officers and six of the In- dians, shackled two together with one pair of handcuffs and one pair of leg irons, had gotten out to walk in order to tighten the load. They were some distance behind the coach, when it is supposed the Indians grappled with the Sheriff and his deputy, and secur- ing their weapons shot them dead. Taking the keys from the pocket of tue Sheriff the shaekles were unlocked aud the Indisps were free. The Apache Kid and Mexican, who were ironed singlyi had remained in the stage, but it was only the work of few minutes for the liberated prisoners to release them after shooting Middle ton. The irons which have just been found were without doubt those which played an important part in the bloody affair. Middleton is now prominent business man of Globe. and the Kid, who never afterwards was appre- hended, proved to be the terror of Southeastern Arizona, many murders being laid at his door. Ed A. Clark, better known as Wallapai Clark, killed an Indian in the Gallurias, which many suppose to have been the Kid, as he has never been heard from since but the body of the Indian could not be found, his companions having spirited it away. The Mexican on the stage afterwards came to Florence and gave himself up.
