hips and he died half an hour after
wards. He was only a boy about
fourteen or fifteen years of age but
said to be desperate character.
The fourth man, Nose Roberts, got
through a window of the house and
was shot through or under the shoul-
Andy Cooper fingered until Sunday
evening when he died.
The coroner's jury which held an
inquest on the body of the boy Hews-
ton Blevins, exonerated Sheriff Owens
from blame. The men were all des-
perate characters who made a prac-
tice of killing anyone who stood in
the pathway of their crimes, and
openly boasted of their murderous
deeds afterwards. Sheriff Owens
seems to have shown an amount of
bravery in the discharge of his duties
which he deserves credit for. That he
should have gone single handed, and
succeeded in getting the best of four
such desperate men, without being
killed or injured himself, is almost
miraculous.
Two More Killed
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Francis
received telegram from Sheriff Null
venom from Prescott, stating that one
of the Graham gang had killed John
Tewksbury and William Jacobs, from
an ambush on September third. These
may be the men that Andy Cooper
stated he had killed when he said on
the morning of his own death in Hol
brook, that he had killed one of the
Tewksburys and a man he did not
know on the Friday previous, which
would be September second. Although
Andy Cooper was known by that
name, his real name was Blevins and
he was brother of the other Blevins
boys. 1t is said that he committed a
murder some years ago in Texas and
changed his name to avoid detection.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Fran
els and Constable Odell left town for
the Basin; at Payson they will again
meet Sheriff Mulvenon and posse
from Prescott, also ]. D. Houcks and
others from Apache county. The
whole party will then proceed to the
scene of trouble determined to arrest
some if not all of the desperadoes and
endeavor to prevent recurrence of
the disgraceful crimes which have
made TontO Basin notorious.
The Coconino sun., 1927-11-25
(Sept. II, 1897

The whole community or northern
Arizona has been in a condition of
agitation and suspense during the last
few DAYS on account of the rumors of
the murder of Sheriff Mulvenon and
several of his deputies including John
w. Francis, j. w. Weatherford and
E. F. Odell of Flagstaff, in Tonto
Basin. Stories were told with the
minuteness of detail that compelled
the most skeptieal to believe the
many terrible circumstances related
must have some truth for their ORR
gin.
After leaving Flagstaff on Sunday,
August 21, the deputy sheriffs from
here met Sheriff Mulvenon and party
at Payson, whence they proceeded to
the Basin, the sheriff with 10 war
rants for the arrest of the Tewks-
burys and others of their gang. They
found the Tewksbury ranches unoccu-
pied and no trace of their occupants
in the neighborhood.
On going to a store a few miles
from John Tewksbury's ranch they
met a party of the Graham boys and
the man, Andy Cooper, the leaders OF
the faction opposed to the Tewks-
burys, with whom they had CONVEX
sation, but as they had no warrants
for the arrest of these men they were
unmolested. The Grahams stated that
if the sheriff and his posse did not
arrest the Tewkshury gang, they in
tended to take the matter into their
own hands and make war upon them
until they were exterminated or driv-
en- from the country.
They found some trace of party
having gone northward, probably to-
wards Holbrook for provisions, and
camping near the place last men
toned, waited to intercept them. In
the morning before sunrise, mes
senger came into camp, asking that

STOKPS ORCHESTRA IN
'HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY''

The symphony orchestra has been
referred to as the greatest Of all mu-
steal instruments. Those who have
seen it's many parts respond as a
unit to the facile baton of the con-
ductor are likely to so regard it-a
sensitive, colorful and versatile In
strument, which the conductor plays
upon at will, touching a string here,
sounding a brass note there, as the
mood Of the composer may indicate.
And orchestras have as distinct
personalities as individual must
clans.
For instance, in it's Interpretation
Iof the second Hungarian Rhap-
Isody" Of List, just recorded by the
Philadelphia Orchestra under the
direction Of Leopold Stokowski, for
Victor, the individuality of this mu-
steal organization is very strongly
IN evidence. 1t is recorded in its
entirety by the full orchestra of 108
men, and IL one of the striking
achievements Of the new process Of
recording. From the opening of the
sow "lassan" to the close of the
wild 'friska," it is an amazing and
inspiring rendition.
