FEAR TEWKSBURY-CRAEAM FEUD
 OF PIONEER DAYS IS TO BE REVIVED

The pioneer we'll remembers the famous Tewksbury-Graham feud in Tonto basin. The Globe Record tells of Pleasant Valley trouble which bids fair to revive the old trouble because of an outbreak over a school house.
 In response to a telephone call re- ceived by Sheriff Shute from the Pleasant Valley district, stating that a "free for all" fight was being waged there ever since Tuesday, the sheriff, accompanied by County At torney Murphy and Frank Haynes left during the middle of the after noon for the scene of action.
 Sheriff Shute and the group which started to Pleasant Valley has re- turned, after having been informed over the telephone from more direct telephone connections that the trou- ble had ceased for the time being.
 It was learned that the trouble was caused over the location of a school house in Pleasant Valley, an affair which seems not to be settled in the minds of some.
 Smoke -'em-up" Brown, citizen of that section, while in the midst of a group of voters at the polls Tues day, began swearing and causing dis turbance over this school affair. J. M. Thompson, Justice of the peace, ordered Brown to quit his swearing and making an effort to cause trouble.

 Local citizens, because of the fail ure to receive more detailed informa- tion over the telephone, were remind ed of the Pleasant Valley war of many years ago, and were wondering if the reported fighting in that dis trict was not a renewal of the ha- treds which originated thirty-five or more years ago, with the driv- ing southward from near Flagstaff of several bands of sheep, reputed to have been the property of Daggs brothers. Heretofore the rim of the Mogollons had been the "dead line" south of which no sheep might come. There were no allegations at the time that the Tewksbury brothers had been employed to take care of any trouble that might materialize over the run ming of sheep out of bounds. At first there seemed to be a little active op- position, but early in 1885 Mexican sheepherder was killed. The opposi- tion then centered around the Graham family, to which gathered a consider able number of cowboys and cattle men.
 Tom Graham later told how at first he tried to use a form of moral per- suasion. Not wishing to kill anyone, there would be wait until the sheep herder began preparation of his even ing meal and then, from the dark
