however, lasted only a short while
and was succeeded by the tri- weekly
Star. After selling his interest in
the Star to his partner, MIR. Tully
assumed the management of Las Dos
Republicas. the first Spanish paper
in Arizona.
The first paper IN Tombstone, the
Weekly Nugget, was started by Mr..
Tully and A. f. Fay in 1879. This
paper. as well as the Star was print
ed on the first printing press that
was brought to Arizona. The old
press is now in the hall of the Pio-
neers' Historical society in Tucson
and is considered to be one of the
most important relics Of the early
days.
Mr.. Tully is a native of the South
west, having been born in Las Cru
ces, N. NJ, in 1853. He attended
Saint Michaels college from 1855 to
1859 and came to Arizona for the
first time in 1857 while on vaca-
ton After finishing his education

adjustment OF Tuily and Ochoa, at
that time one of the largest institu-
tions of its kind in Arizona.
After spending year travelling in
the eastern states, in Mexico and in
Cuba, Mr.. Tully in 1875 engaged in
teaching in the parochial schools in

schools were the chief interests in
his life and in 1883 Mr.. Tully began

fire fighters.
Receiving no remuneration for their
services. the volunteers nevertheless
risked their lives and courted injury
in the performance of public duty.
Through their efficient work millions
of dollars have been saved the prop
epty owners of this city in addition
to the prolonging of many lives which
might otherwise have been lost in the
flames.
The Phoenix volunteer fire depart
ment was dissolved on January 8,
1922. at a meeting Of the members
held in the commission chambers OF
the city hall. Representatives were
present at the dissolution from the
following companies;
Engine company. Five Points, Az
tee Hook and Ladder company, Uta-
Gee Hose company, Victor Hose COM
pany and the Pioneer Hose company.
A board of trustees was empow-

horseback by Mr.. Elders. He was for
many years in the service and carried
mail from the north to Casa Blanca,
on the ella; to Mcdowell and Tucson.
Mail in those days was all carried
on horseback and the charge was
about so cents letter.
Like most other pioneers. Mr.. Ell
ders has done much mining and pros
pecting during his long life in Ari-
zona. Despite his age, he sunk a
shaft unaided to the depth Of 100 feet
in the mountains between Phoenix
and, Hot Springs three years ago.
Since his marriage in 1881, how
ever, Mr.. Elders has been engaged
| in the cattle business almost continu-
ously. Mrs. Elders is also pioneer,
coming to Arizona in 1880. She was
married to Mr.. Elders in Wickenburg
and later accompanied him to the
cattle ranch owned by Lord" Dar-
| rel Duppa on the Aqua Fria river.
| Although their own ranch escaped
with only minor raids, many ranch
/ ers in that district were murdered by
| the Indians during Mrs. Elders early
| Nfe there.
Mr.. Elders purchased the cattle
ranch from Duppa shortly after going
| to work there and is still operating
| it. although he lives in Phoenix most
| of the time now.
indians Take Cattle
| At one time a herd of Mr.. Elders
cattle was driven off by Indians.
The cattle were never recovered but
Mr.. Elders later killed an Indian
whom he suspected of being impli-
Gated in the theft.
/ A detachment of troops were dis
patched from the nearest fort to
bring back the Indians and the cattle
| they had stolen, but the expedition
| failed. A short time later. while Mr.
| Elders was riding over his ranch he
saw an Indian approaching in the
distance. Mr.. Elders entered the foot
| OF the canyon down which the Indian
| was riding and met him on his way
| At the Indians approach be shot him
and reported his act to the authori
/ ties.
The authorities at first made a
complaint because the dead man was
a. reservation Indian. Mr.. Elders
drew their attention TO the fact that
by a recent order of General Crook,
an Indian outside the reservation lost
his rights 10 protection by the gov
ernment, and as Mr.. Elders ranch
twas not on the reservation his act
was vindicated

George Peek, who came with his
wife to Phoenix in 1887, has the dis
tinction of being doubly a pioneer.
In addition to being a pioneer of the
state, he has a record of 35 years of
continuous service with the city
water works.
When Mr.. Peek began working at
the city water plant 1t had Just been
established and at that time was 10
Gated close to Central avenue and
Washington street. Two small. dug
wells were ample at that time to fur
nish all the water needed by the city.
and only a few blocks OF pipe had
been laid to convey the supply to
the consumers. The city RAPIDLY
outgrew the initial plant and in the
course of time il was removed to
its present location at Ninth and
Van Buren streets, where deeper
wells were drilled and the system ex-
tended over twice its former area.
Mr.. Peek stayed with the company
throughout the various changes of
ownership and has worked his daily
shifts at the pumps during the entire
period in which they furnished the
life blood of the city. He has Wit
ever made by public utility and has
watched the city of Phoenix develop
from a small settlement TO the me-
tropolis of a thriving agricultural
district.
But all of Mr.. Peel's pioneer life
has not been led in Phoenix To-
gether with his wife he immigrated
in 1887 from Lawrence, Kansas, to
the ranch Of his brother in law in
the San Pedro country, near the
present site Of Ray. On this ranch,
upon which the couple lived for
nearly a year, were passed the most
adventurous months of their life. AT
no time was the little settlement free
from the menace of the fierce Apa-
che, and the work of developing the
country was the hardest that pioneer
man and woman could endure
Upon Mrs. Peek in particular the
stay at the frontier ranch has grayed
deep the peril under which she exist
ed. She remembers as clearly as if
II had been yeste erday the times when
rumors of Indian uprisings brought
the settlers together for mutual pro-
lection.
At one time all the women and
children OF the settlement were sent
IN wagons to Tucson to be out of
reach of the Apaches who We're COM
mittfng depradations throughout the
uiSeAiNt. MI. Teeh, LOSelner with the
other men of the community stayed
behind to protect their holdings. AL
though the Apaches We're burning and
killing all through the district they
did not molest the ranch where Mr..
Peek was staying and the women
folk were soon back at their homes
and going about the daily work of
their homes. Before the uprising
was quelled, however, the Apacnes
burned the cabin of a neighbor dur
ing his absence and drove off his
horses and cattle. Three cowboys

teaching in the public schools and
has been active ever since in secur-
ing legislative enactments for the ad
Vancenent of education.
Chief among the results OF Mr.
Iuliys work for school legislation
has been the adoption of uniform
courses of instruction, the compul-
sorry school law. the change in the
number of members composing the
board Of education, the adoption OF
uniformity in school text books. the
change in the methods OF apportion-
Ing school funds from the basis of
the census enumeration to the basis
of average school attendance. and
many other beneficial amendments
to the school law.
Mr. Tully was appointed principal
of the Tucson public schools In 1891
ana held that position until 1899. He
published the first school magazine
class graduated from the Tucson
High school.
The idea of organizing the teachers
Of Arizona originated in Tucson in
1882 with Mr.. Tully heading the call
for organization. 1t was Mr.. Tully's
suggestion that the organization
would make faster progress il Joined
to the joint county institute at Phoe-
nix where the teachers. association
was permanently organized.
Mr. Tully has also taken great in
terest in the organizing Of fraternal
societies for the benefit of the Span-
ish speaking people. The principal
organizations of this kind in which
Mr.. Tully was active are the Alianza
Hispano- Americana and the Porfiria
D1az. These societies are now pros-
| pering and are benefitting thousands
OF widows and orphans as we'll as
making better citizens of the many
| members.
Miss Adela Baron became the bride
OF Mr.. Tully in 1878 and of this union
there were born l3 children. Mrs.
Tully died in 1917 and two years later
Mr.. Tully married Miss Belle Maley.
daughter of James Maley. one Of the
tlrst settlers of Wilcox. That town
was first called ATaley. but the name
vas changed to Wilcox after its erec-
tion as a towDsite Thomas Steele
and Mr.. Tully were the commission
ers appointed by Judge. j. S. Wood to
issue deeds to the residents of Wilcox
| in 1881.
Governor Fremont later appointed
Mr. Tully translator of the laws of
the Territory of Arizona
Mr.. Tully does not claim to have
Killed any Indians nor to have been
similarly treated by them, nor does
he claim any honors as a hero in
| battle save the battle of life. He has
pursued an eventful career trying to
do as little harm and as much good
as he could to his fellowman within
! the sphere of his ability.
In 1910 Mr. Tully gave mn news
paper work and in 1914 retired from
! active work as a public school teach
er. For the past three years he has
been retained as secretary of the
Arizona Pioneers Historical society
and takes great interest in advanc-
ing the interests of that organization
| He is devoting his time and energy
to securing the best results to COM
ply with the aims of the society and
the purposes for which the stetA is
maintaining it.

che from her house. She piled up all
the furniture in the cabin in front
of the door and windows and kept
vigilance until her husband returned.
All the settlers kept barrels of water
in their attics to be used in case the
Indians laid siege to their homes and
shot burning arrows into the roofs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peek, however, after
staying 10 months in the San Pedro
region. decided that the Salt River
valley offered better opportunities, so
they moved to Phoenix. Mr.. Peek
helped to lay the floor in the city
hall, which was constructed at the
time of his arrival in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peek are now great
