Christmas in 1887 as it was cele-
brated in Nogales was no less
merry than it is today but the
townspeople regarded the day as
no different from the standpoint
Of Indian raids. Although the
marauding Apaches feared the
larger settlements, they preysd
upon the isolated rancher and with
a warcry would swoop down and
strike terror into the hearts of
young and old.
On almost any day, and Christ
mas was no exception, a bleeding
messenger would ride furiously in.
to the city with word that more
limo ent victims had fallen prey to
Geronimo and his savages. De-
spite the insecure feeling that
must have prevailed, ranchers and
aity folks alike plunged seriously
into the observance of the holi-
day.

Men Gathered To 'WhCOp 'Er Up
On Christmas Day Here In 1887

A. L. Peck of Nogales who first
saw this diminutive settlement in
1887 recalls a Christmas in those
early days when he with his fam
lily We're residir G on a ranch on
the Tumacacori range about 1S
miles from here. Geronimo cele-
brated the day in typical Indian
fashion by looting the ranch and
killing Peck's wife and 14-month-
old daughter. Peck was captured
hut released short time later.
Eating turkey, playing poker
and consuming an unusually large
amount of liquor, constituted a
true Yuletide observance in those
days, according to Charles Fowler,
another o'dtimer of Nogales. Cons
