Find the Craze OF
Capt. BUcky O'NeiU
(Coconino Sun of May 6, 1899)

(Coconino Sun of May 6, 1899)
The mystery which has hung over
the location of the grave Of Captain
"Bucky" O'Neill of the Rough Riders
was solved through the wonderful
memory of Chaplain Harry H. Brown,
who served with the Rough Riders in
the Santiago campaign. The war de-
partment after making fruitless at
tempts to locate the grave of Captain
O'Neill, decided to send Chaplain
went with him tell the story of how
he found the body in less than two
hours. When the boat reached San
tiago, Chaplain Brown, brother of
Captain O'Neill and some others took
a carriage for San Juan hill. The
chaplain directed the movements of
the driver. He ran his eye over the
surrounding country, and with uner-
ring judgment located again the
points in the battlefield where each
movement of his regiment occurred.
At last he turned the carriage into
side trail by means of which little
clearing was reached. Chaplain
Brown got out, cast his eyes contem-
platively around the ground few
moments, and said to his comrades:
dig here and you will find the can
teen which we buried with the body
Of Captain O'Neill."
Sure enough, hardly had the spades
turned up two shovels full of the soil
before the rusty and weather beaten
canteen came to view. In it we're the
papers identifying the body Of Cap
tain O'Neill as they had been placed
by Chaplain Brown nearly eight
months ago. Further excavation re-
vealed the body of Captain O'Neill in
a good state of preservation. The
body was placed in coffin and will
he brought to the United States on
the transport Crook.

TRAGEDY
AT CAMP VERDE

(Coconino Sun OF July 8, 1899)
Camp Verde was the scene of a
bloody tragedy at a little past 8
o'clock Sunday night. At the hour
mentioned two men rode up on horse
back to the corral attached to the
store owned by R. NJ. Rodgers and
Clinton D. Wingfield and dismounted
One of them held both horses while
the other went around to the front of
the store where Rodgers and Wing
field and Captain John Boyd were
seated on the porch. The stranger
took a seat on the porch and con-
versed with the men about fifteen or
twenty minutes when he suddenly
arose and drew a six-shooter, and
with an obscene epithet commanded
all of them to throw up their hands
or run. Wingfield and Rodgers start
ed to go inside of the store, but before
they reached the door Rodgers was
shot through the body, the bullet
passing just beneath the shoulder
blade and he fell to the floor corpse.
Another bullet from the strangers S
pistol struck Wingfield in the back
also and lodged some place in his
body and he also fell to the floor but
lived until between 2 and 3 o'clock
the next morning. The stranger then
turned his attention to Captain Boyd
and sent bullet crashing through his
thigh, causing a very painful though
not dangerous wound. About this
time the man with the horses came
around from the corral when both of
them mounted and rode off in the di-
rection of Tonto Basin. Their object
was evidently robbery but being green
at the business they did not seem to
understand how to go about it sue
cessfully, and after committing a
most atrocious murder they rode off
without having accomplished their
purpose.
The Indian trailers, Sheriff Munds,
and 100 residents Of Verde valley are
on the hunt for the men. 1t is now
almost certain that one of the fugi-
tives is Oscar Wade, who was re-
Gently acquitted in Jerome of stealing
horses from the Indians. At his ex-
animation q letter from Rodgers and
Wingfield was used as evidence by the
prosecution and after his acquittal
Wade made threats of getting even.
Bishop, later discovered to be the
murderer, was caught for train rob-
berry and murder in New Mexico a
short time later and was executed

This COL0red Man
Had Some Petition!
LCoconino Sun of Dec. 80, 19OOl

(COcOnlnO DQn OF Dec. 81, lSUUJ
e. Poynter, one Of Flagstaff's
prominent colorad citizens, is circulat-
ing petition asking for the appoint
ment of chief janitor Of the capitol
building at Phoenix. His petition is
a novel one, and it has been signed by
nearly every citizen in Flagstaff,
stating their occupation, age and their
estimated wealth. The petition is
headed as follows:
'sWe, the most highly respected,
wealthy and Influential citizens of
Flagstaff, by preponderance of un-
mitigated rhine and assurance in US
vested as sovereign citizens Of the
most elevated and atmospheric por-
tion of said territory, desire that the
petitioner, with paraletic vocabu-
larry and splendid paretic propensities,
be ostracized, naturalized, and circum-
cised. We further believe that the
lack of conjugal felicity and anti
perspiration tendencies eminently fit
Mr.. Poynter for the janitorial duties
in the capitol building at Phoenix to
which he now aspires. We further
add that, in our opinion, Balaam in
all his glory could not have asked for
a more competent assistant"

Got FiUe Big Bear
All in One Bunch
(Coconino Sun of Aug. 18, 1900)

(Coconino Sun of Aug. IS, 1900)
There are plenty of bear in the San
Francisco mountains this year. 1t is
supposed that the scarcity of water in
the lower ranges has driven bruin to
the altitude of the peaks. Manuel
Morrill,, a herder for Lockett Brothers,
last Friday and Saturday killed five
big bear in the basin above the Jack
Smith spring. Morrill, does not con-
slider the killing of that many bear as
much of a feat, and says he was not
looking for big game, but they came
across his path and he Gust shot
them" However, the scalp of bear
brings $40 and Manuel is $50 to the
good by ''just shooting them"

Resolution Appeases

MAY TIE COOLIDGE
Resolution Would Send
Forces Abroad Only by

BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-With
adoption of the Robinson resolution
advising arbitration of the Mexican
dispute, senate leaders appeared to-
day to have appeascd their apprc-
hension over the state department s
Latin American policy. No further
concerted congressional action is
contemplated at this time.
Sporadic efforts will be made by
individual opponents of the state
department s policies, however, to
force withdrawal of American mar
ines from Nicaragua and to restrict
President Coolidge from using armed
forces of the country to protect
American interests abroad during
the nine month recess of congress
starting March +.
Senator Frazer, Republi n
North Dakota, intends to seek ac.
ton upon his resolution specifying
that the army, navy and marine
corps could be sent abroad only by
congress.
4 speech criticizing the Nicarag
uan policies has been prepared for
delivery this afternoon by Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, and
Senator James A. Reed, Democrat
Missouri, has announced he will cx
press his opinion of Mexican and
Nicaraguan affairs.
No Opposition
The Robinson resolution was
adopted BY the astonishing vote OF
70 to 0--n9t senator registering
, opposition, although several criticiz
ed the resolution in debate which
preceded the vote late yesterday.
The resolution has no binding eff
feet upon the administration and
merely expressed the sense of the
senate that the alien oil and land
law dispute with Mexico should be
submitted to arbitration. Senator
Lcnroot, Republican. Wisconsin
speaking for the administration,
made clear that there were many
questions involved in the Mexican
dispute which could never be sub
mitted to arbitration.
No change in the attitude of the
state department is contemplated as
q result of the senate action, accord
ing to authorities who were in a
position to know.
The resolution was adopted while
Senator Norris. Republican, Ne
braska, was out of the chamber and
hence no vote was obtained upon
his amendment saving that armed
force could be used abroad only by
act of congress. Norris will exert
his influence for the Frazier rcsolu-
ton, which embodics the same idea
