THEY DIDN'T NAME AUTOMOBILES
AFTER SHERIFFS In THEM DAYS
THERE WEREN'T NO AUTOMOBILES

PHOENIX, Feb 1.-THE appoint
ment of Scott White as superinten-
dent of the state prison recalls to
all timers the early days of Ari-
zona when the six shooter was more
of an adjunct to the sheriff than
the automobile Mr.. White was
sheriff of Cochise county in the
early 90s, ,and in those days being
a sheriff was real mans job.
Outlaws We're numerous and dan
gerous; they Killed George Scar
borough, deputy under the then
Sheriff White, held up and robbed
passenger trains, stage coaches, stole
cattle and horses robbed business
houses and did plenty of killing.
Bert Alvord and Billy Stiles were
deputies under Scott White and To-
Gated at Wilcox, on the main line
of the Southern Pacific. One night
word reached Sheriff White in his
office at Tombstone that No. 3, the
Southern Pacific express, was held
up and robbed between Wilcox and
Cochise. 1t later developed that
both Alvord and Stiles participated
in the hold-up; they were members
of the gang of outlaws! Sheriff
White, hard riding, quick shooting
westerner, a gentleman of the old
school, gathered his posse together
and made a cleanup. Many of the
outlaws were lodged in the Tomb
stone jail where they were being
held pending trial.
One night the jailer of the old
Tombstone jail was surprised when
member of the outlaw band walked
in and told him to "sticl1 'em up"
The jailer made the mistake of dis
obeying the command and was shot
in the leg as he attempted to go
after his gun. The outlaw then took

Body of Aged Man Found
Hanging From Tree Near
Phoenix Is Identified
nv Dispaseu a. p. wirel

PHOENIX, Feb. 11.-Positive be-
lief that the body of man found
hanging to tree at the foot of
Nineteenth avenue Tuesday afternoon
is that of w. H. Herman, Phoenix
carpenter, was expressed by 2. T..
Addington of 719 East Roosevelt
street, a son-in-law.
The body, badly decomposed, was
buried before Identification had been
established
Herman, 60 years old and a wild
over, has been missing from the
Addington residence since Thursday,
February 4. Due to the fact, how
ever, that the aged man often
stayed for several days with friends,
his absence was not regarded as of
serious portent until a day or two
ago.
The body was discovered by Fos-
ter oliver while he was playing with
other boys in cottonwood grove
along the river at the foot of Nine
teenth avenue. The man had hanged
himself with a length of new rope,
tied with a hangman's knot, accord
ing to the investigating officials.
A small scrap of paper found in
his pockets bore the name of John
McArdle Santa Fe railroad man.
Mr. McArdIe stated, however, that
he did, not recognize the body. A
purse containing $1.65 in change was
also found in the clothing.
The remains were exhumed today
in order to establish positive identi-
fication.

The horse was later returned with
a word of thanks to Sheriff White

Today Scott White, superintendent
of the Arizona state prison, is i'll in
bed at the state prison. Perhaps
at no time in the history of the
prison has man received better
care than he. At his bedside, night

termer. Not all Of his time is spent
pouring medicine out of a bottle;
he is dispensing another kind of
medicine. He and superintendent.
White spend hours talking over old
times in Cochise county. The nurse
is Willis Woods, ex-Cochise county
outlaw, and the man who ''stuck up"
the jailer and liberated all of Scott
Whites prisoners and stole his
horse some 80 years ago. The two
of them Superintendent White and
Willis Woods, are as happy as
though they were enjoying a family
reunion. Willis Woods plays a spec
tacular part in Desert Law" a book
recently written by Captain Joyce,
in which the Sheriff White of many
years ago takes prominent part.
Thus does time which is great
healer and a constant worker, soften
and bring together the opposing
forces of human nature.
Latest reports from the prison
are to the effect that Scott White
is rapidly recovering and will be up
