| of conditions in Italy:
ut seems there is conception of
the state which cannot be aCtholic,
which absorbs and monopolizes every
thing, which makes citizens believe
that the state as an end is again
being emphasized. 1t seems the
ministers of religion are treated in a
fashion unworthy Of their high calling.
1T seems that the laws and pro-
visions, in themselves good, are being
enforced and interpreted in many
cases by men who, under new names
and new banners, remain enemies to
society and religion"
On January 25 the Pope ordered
dissolved Catholic Boy Scout organi-
zation in Italian cities having fewer
than 10000 inha bitants. This unusual
action by the pontiff was explained
as protest against the decree issued
by Premier Mussolini 10 days pre-;
viously forbidding such organizations
in small communities.
When the Fascist decree was pro-
mulgated, 1t was stated that Premier
Mussolini's action was prompted by
frequent conflicts growing out Of the
rivalry between the Fascist's young
mems organization called "Balilla"
and the Catholic Boy Scouts.

ROME. March 2.--Vigorous criticism
Of the Fascist conception Of the state
was again voiced by Pope Plus in an
address before the Lenten preachers
parish Of Rome.
Renewing his disapproval of the
Fascist idea Of "everything and every
body in the state and for the state,
which he had already voiced in his
recent allocution, the pOntiff declared
that such a conception was contrary
to divine precepts, which dictate that
man must be the end and not the
means to all social organization of
human beings.
The Pope did not specifically men
ton Fascism. but his remarks left
little doubt as to what he was refer

Declaring that he desired to have
the preachers inculcate an extremely
important idea, namely 1.-The true con-
ception of authority, society and the
functions of authority and Of society"
the pontiff asserted that all forms of
society should be founded on the
divine precept guiding the organiza-
ton of the church--that the Church
was created for men and not men for
the church."

were named in the same charges.
Efforts to locate Mrs. Rowan
through members of her cult have
been unavailing. Police reported she
had disappeared from her home. The
finding of her automobile, abandoned
on the ocean highway near San Juan
Capistrano was described by the au-
thorities as ruse.

The conspiracy complaint was is
sued after Fullmer reported he had
been lured to a cabin in a tourist
automobile camp. where he was
beaten with a gas pipe and jabbed
with a hypodermic needle. He iden-
titled Balzar and Miss Wade as his
assailants and charged that the at
tack was the result of his threats to
expose" the activities of Mrs. Rowan
and her followers.
Police declared both BalZar and Miss
Wade admitted the attack and impli-
Gated Mrs. Rowan as the instigator.
1t was Mrs. Rowan, the officers were
told, who brought the couple to the
camp late Saturday night and then
summoned F'ullmer by telephone.
Campers said they saw Mrs. Rowan
near the cabin a short time before
the attack.
Faction Ousted After Strife.
F'ullmer told police that factional
strife has existed among the Row
antics for some time. All originally
were members of the Seventh-day

Indicates.

possible.
This was indicated yesterday by
Frank Nash, assistant attorney gen.
eral. who declared there was no State
law In North Carolina barring Sunday
golf.
Carolinians had as much right to loss
as many balls and to make as many
holes in one in this State on Sunday
as native Tarheels.

suit was evident, as on approach
ing a ravine, two horsemen had de-
ployed on either side of the main body
to protect them from any attack on
the flank.
After considering the situation
Sheriff Mulvenon came to the conclu-
sion that further pursuit at that time
would be useless and unnecessarily
endanger the lives of the party, there
fore he resolved to abandon the chase
and the posse divided, Mulvenon and
his men returning to Prescott and the
Flagstaff men making their way here.
Things are in a fearful condition in
the Basin. Since the two men, Pain
and Blevins, were killed by the par
ties firing from their concealed posi-
tion in Newton's ranch, William Gra-
ham was shot from ambush while rid
ing the Payson trail and died next
day. Old man Blevins is also prob
ably killed; he has been missing for a
month and no trace can be found Of
his body.

cient stand and safeguarding against
fires so that there will be reforesta-
tion and consequently a perpetual
stand of the big Arizona soft pine,
which is superior in quality and of
much finer and smoother texture than
in the other mountain forests of SINH
lar variety extending down into Mex
leo and north into Canada. The high
er quality of our lumber is due to it's
slower growth because of less mois-
ture here than in the other regions.
Indication of the amount of lumber
shipped annually is found in the fact
that last year the railroads derived
$685. 900 freight revenue from the
lumber shipments from the company's
mill at Williams.
Northern Arizona is blessed in hav-
ing the largest soft pine forest in the
world, in having cutting regulated to
insure perpetuation and in having
plants large enough to make their
operations of great commercial value
to the communities and state.

L1u Cornerstone OF
NeU IA. e. Church

(Coconino Sun of June 10, 1906)
The cornerstone of the new M. E.
church was laid last Monday after
noon. The weather was fine (as it
usually isl and many members and
friends. of the church were present.
Rev. S. j. Rogers, Superintendent Of
the Mission and Rev. F. c. Reid of
the Presbyterian church assisted the
pastor in the services. This truly
worked a new epoch in the history
of the Oldest church in Flagstaff.
Rev. Rogers delivered an appropri-
ate address, and the pastor read a
brief summary of the history of the
church. The most impressive part of
the service, the laying of the corner
stone, then took place.
Work on the elegant new stone
structure has sufficiently advanced
that it is not difficult to see what the
new building will be like and COM
plimentary remarks are heard on
every hand.
Our Methodist friends are surely
to be congratulated upon the pros
poets of having in the near future,
oneNof the most handsome places of
worship to be found in the territory
of Arizona.

GRAND CANYON r. R.
BUILT TO HAUL COPPER

The Santa Fe and Grand Canyon
railroad, built early in 1900, was de-
signed to furnish transportation for
copper mines a few miles south of
Grand Canyon. The operators were
so confident that blast furnace was
erected at Williams, but was never
operated. There were plans for the
erection of hotel at the rim of the
Canyon, where later Fred Harvey
built Ell Tovar hotel. The junction
point was placed at Williams through
the influence of a substantial cash
subsidy, which took it from Flagstaff
which heretofore had enjoyed practi-
cally all of the Grand Canyon traffic,
taken through the forest in six-horse
coaches, some of them double-decked,
The line soon went into a receiver
ship and then was bought by the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe, with
which it connected at Williams.

A Navajo Wedding

The following description was writ
ten good many years ago for The
Sun by M. j. Doran:
An old squaw at about sundown led
the wedding procession to the hogan.
She gave orders and several Indians
began to prepare the wedding supper,
of boiled mutton, corn, roast ribs,
flapjacks and cornmeal mush, most of
which was furnished by the white
visitors. When supper was ready the
bride was brought by her uncle and
placed at the left of her intended hus-
band. The marriage basket was
placed before them. The Indian medi-
cine man with his finger made lines
on the mush representing the four
points of the compass. He made an
other mark around the edge of the
mush from east to west, telling them
wherever one had to go the other
should follow, and wherever they
went they always would have food.
The bridegroom dipped his fingers in
the mush at the east point and ate.
The squaw followed, dipping in at
the same place-and so on around the
basket, taking in the four points of
the compass. The buck dipped from
the center, the squaw following suit,
the last dip making them man and
wife. Then the others ate.

Almost all of the employees, in

early in 1885 a Mexican sheepherder
was killed. The opposition centered
around the Graham family, to which
gathered a considerable number of
cowboys and cattlemen.
Tom Graham later told how at first
he tried to use form of moral sua-
sion. Not wishing to kill anyone,
there would be a wait till the sheep
herder began the preparation of his
evening meal and then, from the dark
ness, Graham would drop a bullet
through the frying pan or coffee pot.
This intimation out of the night was
usually effective in inducing the herd
er to forget his hunger and to move
his band very early next morning.
Several old residents of the Tonto
Basin say that 29 men were killed
in the war and that graves of % men
of the Graham faction could be found
in the vicinity of the old Stinson
ranch. Only four of the Tewksburys
died, but the most awful feature of
all was the manner of death of two
of them. John Tewksbury and one
Jacobs, had brought In bands of sheep
on shares. Both were ambushed near
the formers home and killed, their
bodies. in sight of the house, were
left to be devoured by hogs, while
members of the Tewksbury family
were kept away by shower of bull
lets from a hillside on which the Gra-
hams watched. Finally Deputy Sher-
iff John Meadows entered the valley,
to bury what was left, defiant OF
the wrath of the Grahams. The
Tewksburys were haf-bloods, their
mother a California Indian, and 1t IS
probable their actions thereafter were
based on the Indian code OF revenge
Few were left of the Blevlns family
of the Graham faction The men shot
at Holbrook by Sheriff Owens were
active Grahamites. The elder Blev-
ins was killed in the hills near the
Houdon ranch and skeleton found
in after years is assumed to have
been his. AL Rose was killed at the
Houdon ranch by party of dozen
Tewksburys, as he was leaving the
house in the early morning. The fav-
orite mode of assassination was from
ambush on the side of trial.
One of the last episodes was the
hanging of three of the Graham fac
tion- Scott. Stott and Wilson, on the
rim of the Mogollons by large party
of the Tewksburys The three had
been charged with wounding Tewks-
bury partisan named Lauffer and
summary retribution was admins
tered by hanging them on pine trees
hauled up by hand, with ropes brought
for the purpose.

WAR BEGUN OVER RANGE
BY CATTLE AND SHEEP MEN
BECAME A GENERAL SCRAP

The most spectacular feud in the
history of Arizona, if not in the whole
southwest, was that in the Tonto Ba-
sin country and which is popularity
known as the Graham Tewsbury feud,
or otherwise the Pleasant Valley war.
The following story of the war is
taken partly from back files of the
Coconino Sun and partly from Nc
Clintock's History of Arizona.
The war began with the driving
southwark from near Flagstaff of
several bands of sheep, reputed to
have been. the property of the Daggs
brothers. Heretofore the rim of the
Mogollons had been considered the
"dead line," south of which no sheep
might come. There were allegations
at the time that the Tewksbury broth
ers had been employed to take care
of any trouble that might material
ize over the running of sheep out of
bounds. At first there seemed to
have been little active opposition, but
The Coconino sun., 1927-11-25

and the next minute there were two
dead men on the ground. The Tewks-
burys surrendered peaceably when
the officers approached them and Ed
and Jim Tewksbury, Joe Boyer and a
man named Roberts were placed un-
der arrest with Al Rose and McGill,
of the Graham party, were taken to
the Prescott Jail.
The officers of the law are to be
congratulated upon having apparent
ly put an end to bloody and disgrace
full feud in which eleven men have
been killed during the past two
months and as many seriously wound
ed. OF the Blevins family number
ing six who took sides with the Gra-
hams, only one remains alive, John,
and he is in Jail in st. Johns, having
been wounded while resisting arrest
by Sheriff Owens, at Holbrook.

THEY HAD THE PAPERS

Once in the old days, Mayor Dan
Hogan recalls, when the Nayajos were
ranging their stock off the reservation
to the east, Sheriff Ralph Cameron
with large posse, of which Mr.. Ho-
gan was one, set out to herd them back
to the reservation. They secured a
wedding license, hung on it a lot of
ribbons and seals, and showed this
to the Indians telling them it was a
document from Washington ordering
them back to the reservation. The
Indians accepted the order and re-
turned
