CHIEF
ANTON Of P|MAS
HAS DIED
FOR HALF A CENTURY
LEADER OF TRIBE
White Haired Patriarch Fam
Gus All Over Arizona Has
Gone to the Happy Hunting
Grounds,


Prescott, Ariz.. NOV. 14.-Anton
Azul, great chief of the Pimas, for
half Il century the big man of his
tribesmen and one of the most famous
Indians in the southwest has gone to
the happy hunting grounds after a
long and picturesque career. Daily
the members Of the tribe at Sacaton,
where he died, repair to the last rest
ing place of the white haired old pa
triarch to weep over the grave OF the
man whom they regard as The great
est Indian that eve lived.
No man knows Just how old Azul
was. But il is surmised that he was
somewhere near the century mark,
His life was one of usefulness TO his
tribe and to the whites In the early
days, when The Indians had not be-
ONE resigned to the rule of the
white man, Azul eve counseled
against extreme measures when the
hotheads demanded war. No one will
ever know how many rcbellions he
prevented or how many lives he thus
saved.
Many a story is conferred around
Azul, most of them being to his
credit and none to his discrcdit. It
is related that at one time nearly Il
quarter of a century ago, he pre-
vented Il widespread Indian uprising
and massacre of the whites in Arizona.
Azul was taken to Washington to
talk with the Great White Father on
matters Of interest to his tribe. As
he journeyed eastward he was amazed
to find how the palefaces had oVerrun
the land. He saw vas cities teeming
with people and knew that his men
were outnumbered, not two to n nor
ten TO one, but thousands To one.
Shortly after his return he was vis-
tied by cmissaries from the Wallapais
ana Apaches. They proposed to him
that the pimas join those tribes in
DISCRIMINATING the whites, 4 careful
plan was outlined for a sudden aud
concerted uprising M the ruthless
of every pale facc man.. wo-
man ana child.
Azul Anton, after hearing their
words, heaped up three little piles
Of sand. one. he said, was to repre-
the Wallapais, one of the Apaches
and the third the Pimas. Then he
scooped up big handfuls of sand and
made an immense pile. He worked
for some minutes, his visitors looking
on in amazcment Then he said,
II might work here for many moons
md still not make a pile of sand that
would show YOU how greatly the pale
face outnumbcr us. They have thou
sands of warriors TO our one and are
to whip us. We a never
xiii them all Before we have Killed
/ fraction of them they will have
wiped us out"
His refusal to join broke up a plol
for an Indian uprising that would
probably have been the most bloody
Arizona history.
1t is yet uncertain who viii succeed
Azul as head chief of the Pimas but
/ will probably be his son, a middle
aged man who has many OF the char
lcterlstics of his father.

A number of able experts have ex-

opinion thai an artesian belt un-
doubtedly exists, and the matter will
be thoroughly investigated.
fabian and vicinity moreover has
at depths of from twenty to thirtr-
five feet an inexhaustiblc underflow
available for irrigation by pumping.
When 1t is taken into consideration
that dry farming already has dem

fabian has every advantage from an
agricultural point of view. Pumping
plants for irrigation are to be tried
out extensively at once and one farm
Just at the east end of town is being
put under irrigation in this manner az
the present time. Many more farm
ers will follow the example without
delay.
The big Triton Lake irrigation pro-
ject which has been taken owe BY
private parties headed by territorial
treasurer and former governor Otero
will be tributary to fabian and will
assist materially in the growth of the
town, as the irrigated land and the
reservoir will be directly south of

the most extensive yer undertaken
by private enterprise in the south

fabian is located forty-seven miles
west of Clovis on the BeIen cut off 81

of the very best cities of eastern New
Mexico. Its present population is
nearly 500 and it is being increased
rapidly. A block OF new cement

struction are nearing completion and
will add measurably to the modern
appearance of the town. Many more

He returned to the city, bought a

in a pocket within his shirt, and called
for an automobile. The machine car
ried him rapidly down a we!l-rolled

chauffeur, and as an additional pre-
caution for the sake of secrecy walked
ahead till satisfied that he had put
many miles between himself and any
one who might have observed his COM

propitious, as from the west a dark
