ing devotion to her father, and it is
stated, that Mrs. Converse had spent
many months in Arizona trying to
ascertain the whereabouts of Doesha.
Her search took her to Aguila, Ari-
zona, where DOesha had established
small ranch, and was engaged in
raising horses and pigs.
After much insistence on the part
of Mrs. Converse, Doesha, who was
then an old man, finally consented
to Mrs Converse's request that he
make his home with her in California.
According to Doesha's friends in
Phoenix, the old man was installed
as an honored guest in the Santa
Paula mansion, where he lived in
comfort. The old man upon his re-
turn to Phoenix declared that he
could not tolerate the splendor of the
Converse home, and one night left
the house and boarded a train for his
beloved Arizona.
AS the result of the hand to hand
battle with the Spanish bullfighter,
years previous, Doesha's right arm
was rendered practically useless, the
Spaniard's knife having severed the
ligaments in the upper arm. For the
past two years he was unable to en-
gage in manual labor and it was re-
liably stated last night by one Of his
friends that Mrs. Converse had sent
him generous sums of money at reg
ular intervals to provide for his COM
fort This fact was admitted by Doe
sha to DR.. Colt Hughes, who attended
him during his fatal illness. 1t was
stated that Doesha's left lung had
been punctured by six bullets, while
his body bore scars Of many others
which resulted from his numerous
battles. Doesha before he died in
formed his friends that he had kept
record of the number of men he
had killed, all of whom he declared
he killed honestly" and said that
35 men was the total.
His friends declare that the old
pioneers code of morals were of
the highest and he had frequently
declared that he had "hated to kill
a certain man because he wasn't all
bad" but in speaking of others who
had fallen before his bullets, he would
declare "the world in general and my
beloved Arizona in particular is bet
ter off with that breed dead"
According to DR.. Hughes, Mrs. Con-
verse, who was informed at once of
Doesha's death, will arrive soon as
possible in Phoenix to attend the fu-
neral, arrangements which will be
completed by A. L. Moore & Sons
upon her arrival. 1t was the dying re-
quest of the noted gunfighter, pioneer
and lover of "his" Arizona that he
''be buried on his little ranch in
Agula with his face towards the east,
and the rising sun that had in years
past looked down upon the scenes OF
his many conflicts. s."-Republican.

he engaged in raising sheep. 70 the
west of him were large tracts OF
land on which roamed thousands of
sheep, the property of his neighbOrs,
while to the east of him grazed thou
sands of cattle, the property of the
Graham family.
Several years later, a feud broke
out between the cattle men and the
sheep men and Doesha Immediately
aligned himself with the Graham fac
tiOn and engaged in many gun bat
ties with the sheep herders. His
fame as gunman and also as a
dead-shOt soon spread throughout the
length and breadth of the state, and
at one time, it is stated, the sheep
men posted a notice on the door of
the Phoenix pOstoffice warning Doe
sha to leave the country. Doesha, it
is said, tore down the notice and
that day met a sheepman on the trail
back to the TontO and killed him on
sight.
The sheepmen, realizing that they
could not scare Doesha into running
away, are alleged to have imported
two of Oklahona's S most notorious
gunmen into Arizona for the express
ed purpose of killing Doesha Within
a week after the gunner arrived in
Arizona, Doesha encountered them to-
gether on the TOnto trail and killed
them both and tossed their bodies
over a cliff.
Later, sheepman, Tewksbury,
killed Tom Graham, a prominent cat
tleman, at the base of Twin Buttes

went out and killed another sheep
man in retaliation The Tewksbury-
Graham case was set for trial in
Phoenix, but a change of venue to
Tucson caused the case to be opened
there. The case was brought into
the Phoenix courts in 1892, and while
the trial was in progress, the widow
of Graham drew a pistol and shot at
a man named Rhodes. a brother-in-
law of Tewksbury. The bullets went
wild, and the trial proceeded, but not
until Doesha had made a speech in
the courtroom in which he deplored
the inaccuracy of Mrs. Graham's aim
and informed his auditors that he
would plug the first sheepman. he
encountered with two bullets instead
of the customary one. This threat
he carried out within a few days, it
is said.
Following the Tonto Basin feud,
Doesha disposed of his sheep, and
for years was not seen in Phoenix.
About four years ago he returned to
the city and upon questioning it de-
veloped that Tom Graham's daughter
about six years ago had married c.
e. Converse, a multi-millionaire of
Santa Paula, California. The daugh-
ter although child at the time her
father was killed by the sheepmen,
had never forgotten Doesha's indy

Arthur Osterberg of Iron
wood Takes Life at Home
Thursday of Last Week.

His mind being weakened by an
auto accident several years ago,
and still sufferer, Arthur Oster
berg, a former resident of the
town of Conover, took his own life

berg home in Ironwood, Michigan,
by firing a bullet into his brain.
Arthur was twenty-five years OF
age and a son OF August Osterberg,
formerly Of tie town Of Conover.
The Osterbergs moved to Ironwood.
About two years ago Art was in
iured in the head in an auto acct
dent and his mind is said to have
been affected somewhat since. i'll
health and dependency resulted in
the taking Of his life. He leaves a
father, two brothers and one sister.

Claim Last Years Team.

In all of the writeups Of the
district tournament held a
week ago at Rhinelander, all
of the papers telling Of the re-
suits of the tournament, in
sist that the Eagle River
team which played was the
hold-over from 1924. Toma-
hawk, who played our team,
states that they defeated our
championship team of last
year, and 50 do the other
teams we played.
Mighty laughable. All of
last years boys who made a
record in all of the tourna-
ments, graduated from the
Eagle River school last June,
that in itself makes for Eagle
River brand new team for
this year, and which Toma-
hawk and OF h ers played
against.
Luckily for the Tomahawks
and other teams this year
that the 1924 team did not
play. If they had, there
would have been but one
story-t hat Eagle River
would have cleaned every last
man in all the tournaments.
This is not speaking dispar-
agingly Of this years team, at
all, for Tomahawk and the
other teams had to fight like
the devil to whip the little
fellows, at that.
