STORY OF ARIZONA
 LYNCHING DAYS

o. D. Flake of Apache county, . former member of the legislatur' from that county, called at The Re
 publican office yesterday to correct [
 statement that there had been but
 four lynchings in Arizona since tn,
 organization of the territory. Ht
 said that there were two more, botf
 occurring in the northern part of thu
 territory in the early sos.
 The first was the execution of two
 men who had killed a trader by the name of Blanchard at a point east oi the present site of Winslow. Blan. chard and man by the name oi Breed had been engaged in business Breed remained at what afterward be- came Winslow, and Blanchard moved some distance to the east.
 Some Navajo Indians, calling at Blanchard's store one morning, found his mutiliated body. They took the trail of the murderers, of whom there were two, and captured them. One of them was named Joe Waters, or "Thick-Lipped Joe" The mdrderers were taken to St. Johns and the fol- lowing night some Mexicans took them out and hanged them.
 Mir. Flake remembered a conversa- tion he had overheard between his fa- ther and Breed, who was returning through Snowflake after the hanging. He had been sent for when it was dis covered that his friend and partner had been murdered. On his way back he told the elder Flake that he could illspare the time for the trip.
 MT. Flake wondered that he had left St. Johns before some action had been taken in the case of the accused. "Oh, some action has been taken" replied Breed. "As I was leaving town noticed their bodies hanging in front of the court house." Mir. Flake, sus- pecting that he had instigated the summary disposition of the case, re- monstrated with Breed. The latter excused himself on the grounds of the pressure. of his private business. "I had to get back" he said, "for to- morrow is pay day. If the case had dragged along through preliminary examinations they would have kept me there a week"
 The other lynching described by Mir. Flake was that of James Stott, cat tleman, and two, cowboys, James Scott and James Wilson. This hap pened near the close of the Pleasant Valley war. Stott was the son of a wealthy millman of Massachusetts who had bought him a cattle ranch in southern Apache county. Though Stott was rather well-liked by those who knew him, he had been associat- ing with bandits and cattle rustlers who used to steal cattle on the south en side of the mountains and then take them across, where they dis posed of them. On their return they brought stolen stock from the north.
