Cattle raising.-In the halcyon
days of long ago, the cowboy Of
Arizona was its most picturesque
parsonage. Cattle ran on the
open range aud were rounded up
twice year for branding and
selling. Then came the settlers
who homesteaded the range,
fencing up water holes and plow
ing the grassy meadows. The
cattle suffered, and the cowboy
saw his calling slowly becoming
q thing of the past. In 1908.
forest reserves were declared
throughout the county and per
mits were issued for the running
of cattle on the range. AS the
years roll on, more and more of
the pasture lands are fenced and
the character of the cattle is
changing from the "rustler" of
the open range to the purebred
cow, which is fed and cared for
during the dry, lean months of
the year.

dured; supplies were hard to get
and distances far to market;
drought and grasshoppers, foods

Scene 1-Tnmacacori Mission.
Built in 1851. - The missions
were the first things of note in
the history of the county. The
Quevavi mission, the ruins of
which are still to be seen near
Nogales, was first founded, and
from that Tumacacori was q
vista" Padre Kino was the
first priest TO pass through the
Santa Cruz valley. He was fol-
lowed by others, chief of whom
was Padre Garces.
The building has been raided
and unroofed by warning Indian
tribes . number of times. To
1922 it was made national
monument, and is now cared for
by the United States govern
ment. Missions have played a
very important part in the his
tory Of our whole western coun

minders of the padres who so
gallantly bore the burden Of
Christian civilization.
Scene 2-Pioneers. After en-.
during the hardships encounter
ed in crossing desert land, the
pioneers, travel-stained and
weary, reached the beautiful
Santa Cruz valley. Here they
decided to locate because of the
seemingly abundant water sup
ply. After selecting the site for
their homes, they Immediately
began building cabins. The wo
men set about arranging the
homes and preparing food. Wild
animals prowled around, annoy.
ing the settlers. But there were
deer and fowls in abundance
which furnished food and skins.
But it was not all hard work for
the settlers. Many happy times
were enjoyed. The quadille was
. favorite pastime among old
and young. In the midst of an
evenings merry making, mes
senger arrived heralding the ap.
proach of Indians who were on
the warpath. The settlers hasti.
" gathered their few belongings
and fed to safety, leaving their
crude but we'll, built cabins to
the mercy Of the savages.

Parker, Sr., in travelling to this
county, is on exhibition in the

Scene 3-Indian Raids, (Ger.
onimo and his Apache band).-
Indians of the savage Apache
band, headed by Chief Geronimo,
roAmed the hills of Santa Cruz
county for many years. They
were constant source of fear.
Many times women in the cabins
were warned Of their approach
and. leaving their housework as
it was, ran for safety to the
staunches cabin, where the men
could more easily protect them.
At one such warning Mrs. Mel
vina Sorrells gathered her little
brood and went to the camp of
Harshaw for protection. She
was just in time. as the savages
swooped down upon her cabin
and wrecked it. Finding no
human inmates. they scalped a
doll belonging to the little daugh
ter of the family and hung it
upon the wall to show their evil
intentions.
Scene 4.-Tubac, an Early
Trading Post and Presidio.-
Tubac was founded as Spanish
presidio about 1852. Later, Cap
tain Juan B. ANA was in com.
mand. The place then had q
population of about 500. Jan
uary 8, 1774, ANA, with 81 sol
diers, an Indian guide, Sebas
tiap, and Padre Garces, left Tu
bac for the Pacific coast. After
many hardships. and passing
through what is now San Ga.
briel, near Los Angeles, and
Monterey, he reached San Fran
cisco and founded a presidio on
the same ground now occupied
as q military post by the United
States army.

J. NJ. Rapelje. vice-president of the
Northern Pacific, in charge of opera
tion and maintenance, died at the
Northern Pacific hospital at 11:15 a.
m. Tuesday.
Death resulted when complications
set In following an operation for
appendicitis eight days before. Mem
bers of his family were at his bed
side when he lapsed into unconscious
ness. They were called from Cali
fornia when his condition assumed a
serious stage last week.
83 Years Old.
Mr.. Rapelje was 6S years old. His
death came as shock to his intimate
friends and to the $4,000 Northern
Pacific employees as we'll as to con-
temporaries in railroad circles.
After having served 81 years with
the company he became the best
known, most loved and admired OFF,

Knew him, from section hand to di-
rectors and high officials. he was
known as John.
Thousands are mourning the loss
of their best friend, for to none had

had he ever failed to greet with

Mr.. Rapeije earned the reputation
of being the most efficient operating

pelie and found the soft spot In his

never turned deaf ear to worthy

open to every cause or form Of chari-

most from its beginning, having thru

security to the position of Vice-Presi-

A Correction

The Bulletin-Appeal in its issue of
the 10th, inst, published several in
accuracies in connection with the
damage suit of Mrs. Beuiah Yourey
against Jos. J. Jwanouskos, and we
feel that in justice to all concerned
a correction should be made. Our
reporter interviewed both the plaintiff
and plaintiffs lawyer, personally, but
failed to read the complaint in the
action. Relying upon statements
made by the plaintiff we stated that
plaintiff left the premises. where the
alleged assault took place, thru the
basement door. That defendant ask
ed whether she had husband or not,
and when told that she was a widow,
exclaimed: "that was good" That
she called on DR.. Turner and was
advised to see lawyer. These state
ments were not sworn to in the COM
plant, and therefore would not be
allowed in court of record.
After reading the complaint we
find that plaintiff after the alleged
assault sat and talked with the de-
fendant in his Office for sometime and
left thru the front door. That when
defendant called at the home OF the
plaintiff he called her by phone and
told her he would call. Plaintiff
knew that he was coming, and would
be alone, but made no effort to avoid
him. That defendant did not ask If
she had husband, as stated. The
article implied that plaintiff consult
ed DR.. Turner for treatment for in
juries received from defendant,
whereas, plaintiff did not call at DR..
Turner's office until a month after
the alleged assault, and was treated
then for trivial complaint. We are
also Informed that the defendant is
a well educated man, with university
degrees in the country he came from,
and has borne good reputation here
tofore. That as a building contrac-
tor he has been placed in the COM
pany of women, very often alone, and
they were not insulted or attacked.
We have investigated the records of
the case and want to free the jury
from the suspicion of any prejudice,
whatsoever, against the plaintiff, a
colored woman, in favor of the de-
fendant, a white man. The jury. in
this case. weighed the evidence and
decided in accordance with the facts,
in favor of the defendant. The
Bulletin-Appeal is desirous of deal
ing fairly with the public, as well as
the individual. and makes this state
ment Of its own volition.
