their names to claim for s88, 900, maintain
ing through their attorneys that Espiritu suf-
fered the loss of all his gold ore that day, plus
all his mules and wagons and other effects
In the train. The latter were worth 1000,
say the claimants; and whereas Espiritu was
under contract that guaranteed him protec-
ton by the United States Government, the
Government should reimburse his heirs.
The claimants who seek reimbursement are
Guillermo Arriola, Mariana Arriola de FregoSo,
Rosa Maria Arriola, Aguiles Arriola, Angela
Arriola de Ulloa, Eugenio Arriola and Alfredo
Arriola. Their claim also adds "plus legal
interest on the $88 900 from time Of the raid to
date" which isn't such a trivial sum Of itself.
These claimants say in effect, that when the
whooping Apaches attacked they did thorough
job Of it. County Attorney Ollertop, being an
Arizonan could believe that easily enough, be-
cause these were Tonto Apaches, and the Tontos
were plenty tough. The very name still sends
shivers down the spines of old-timers
It was the TontoS, for example, who origi-
mated the gentle pastime of catching palefaces
and tossing them onto thorny cactus plants
without benefit of anesthesia. For added finesSe
the then bloodied paleface might be tied-still

ming with friends.
But when he was "goin' on 20" his idea Of
q good time was to chase redskins across the
geography of Arizona.
He had drifted West, he says, with a step
father, who came out to Arizona during the
Civil War AS youngster he talked the super
intendent of the Vuture mine near Wicken-
burg into giving him job, and that job was
mainly fighting off Indians who would steal
horses and things. Briefly, Mr.. Elders is one Of
the few remaining old Indian fighters" of
pioneer days
Wickenburg then was thriving city of nearly
500 persons. 1t had been founded just few
years before by Henry Wickenburg himself.
Henry a penurious proSpector, eternally
looking for his strike.
One day he was out in the hills looking for
his strayed burros. He hunted long time.
Finally he found the pack animals and he was
so mad at their straying that he picked up
rock to throw at the contrary leader.
But when the rock left his hand he caught
a CLINT of gold!
Quickly he forgot his anger at the burros and
staked out claim. He named it "Vulture" be-
cause, as he admitted, he was so near dead from
hunger and desperation that the buzZardS we're
already hanging around to eat his remains.
From the Vulture mine, an estimated $780,
100000 has been obtained, and the country
around Wickenburg is gold producer to this
yampa River is miles from the mine, because
river water was necessary to handle the ore.
A Ar ELDERS probably will be the only old
W. timer who can be found to testify in the
strange case, but Attorney Ollerton believes his
testimony will be sufficient to guard the tax
payers pocketbook. To have been at that raid
at all, man must now be more than IS. And
Mr.. Elders says he the youngest kid in the
territory whose presence near the wild, dan
gerous Vulture something of a freak of
chance.
Attorney Ollerton remembers another case in
which a peculiar quirk of circumstances ended
in tragedy.
Jack Swlng was prospecting in the noun
tans near the Vulture mine, daring the Indians.
But Jack liked liquor too we'll One day a white
man was murdered, and officers in seeking the
murderer found Jack, drunk. They questioned
him
"Shucks yes. killed him!" Jack stammered
at them. what of it?"
They put him in Jail and he died there
awaiting trial for murder which it was later
proved he did not commit. And ended an
other strange in the Wickenburg region.
Quite incidentally, Jack Swilling is credited with
having found the present irrigated empire CEN
tering at Phoenix, State capital.

Import Green Hams

THE preference of the Scotch trade for their
own methods of curing and smoking hams
has led the British government to permit the
importation of around 100000 pounds of green
hams from the United States each month.

BY OREN ARNOLD.

n r YOU pay taxes to Uncle Sam, there's q
chance that you will soon be one of the
victims of an Apache Indian scalping raid.
And for your added meditation, the
Apaches were the hercest, most blood
thirsty Indians who ever tortured q pale
face.
It will not be necessary for you to bar the
doors and snatch up the old rifle. Such Incl
dental details have already been attended to
by the same Uncle Sam.
But it Is a fact, a matter now Of court record.
that, in 1885, you may have to pay your propor-
tionate share Of the loss entailed when maurad-
Ing Apaches attacked q white wagon train IS
years agol
You may have to pay because the heirs of a
man involved in that raid have now entered s
claim against the United States Government
for the neat sum Of $88000 creating thereby
one of the strangest civil cases In modern his
tory.
The individual to suffer most doubtless will
be poor M. L. Onerton.
Mr.. Ollerton has not been scalped literally
although his head may turn gray. Because
to him fell the duty of gathering evidence to
defend the claim He is all that stands between
you and the Apache Indians.
Mr.. Ollerton is the deputy county attorney at
Phoenix, AriZ., who the Department Of State at
Washington has petitioned for help The depart
ment approached the attorney through Arizona's
Governor, d. b. Moeur. Inc department aQ-
mitted itself in a whale Of quandry, and so all
that Mr. Ollerton has to do is locate all the
persons who were eyewitnesses to an Indian raid
that occurred long before most Americans hv-
ing today were born!
It seems that one Mr.. Espiritu Arriola was
driving along the rocky trail from the Vulture
mine to the "city" Of Wickenburg, Ariz., when
this true adventure story began. Mr.. Arriola
presumably twisted his Mexican mustachios in
full satisfaction because he was boss of the
whole train Of "a wagons each pulled by 10
mules, and he held q fat contract to haul gold
ore. He wore two pistols and a shiny rife
rested beside him; he was not afraid.
THEN q terrific, blood-curdling noise suddenly
chilled him. There was shrieking yell
from a hundred voices, and it was punctuated
by hundred shots
few mules screamed, and few men, too.
Two Of the wagon train drivers fell dead Some
redskins toppied Off their horses and rolled into
q canyon below Mules were rearing men were
shouting, the air was acrid with gun smoke
For seconds-minutes-th fighting was furious
Then what happened?
All, that's the question! Precisely what hap
pened at that point in the battle, in the wild
and woolly western year of 1852 is what Mr.
Ollerton is sweating over today.
Espiritu Arriola is dead and gone these many
years, presumably to the Streets of Gold But
he has generous quantity of men and women
scattered about Arizona and California who
construe themselves to be his lawful heirs
Seven OF these alleged heirs have penned
Evening star., 1935-01-27


Nevertheless, Mr.. Ollerton's duty is to have
justice done. and be sure Of the facts in any
case He would not let the Apaches raid your
pocketbook, indirectly, If he could help it. SO
he set out to find the proverbial needle in the
haystack-to locate some living and responsible
person who saw that raid and survived 1t, and
who could testify as to what did occur.
Right away up popped Uncle Martin Monroe
Elders-one of the handsomest, beSt-natured
but scrappingest young fellows Of 81 years
that you ever saw. Uncle Martin never misses
his daily paper and when he read Of the
Arrola suit and of Mr.. Olerton's embarrass-
ment, Uncle Martin took the street car to
town!
"Haint nothing to itl' shouted Uncle Mar
tin at all the assembled deputy county attorneys,
as II they themselves in some manner

everything! I'll sign paper saying it's

THEY say that Mr.. Ollerton's official face
began to beam like Western sunset, and
in two shakes Of tomahawk he had Uncle
Martin deposing and saying as follows, to wit
as the legal papers read-that whereas, etc.
In short, Mr. Ollerton feels now that his
honored opponents, the descendants of Espiritu

THIS surname has been a promi-
nent one in England, Ireland and
America for many generations. In
England it is traceable to a parish
of the same name in LeicesterShire.
The baronial family of Segrave in
England derived descent from Gilbert
de Segrave, lord of the Segrave pos
sessions IN Leicestershire during the
time of Henry II.
The Irish branch of the Segrave
family was seated in that country
from the reign of Edward II, their
family stronghold being at Killeglan,
in County Meath.
The coat of arms here displayed
was borne to America by Capt. Henry
Segrave Of his majestys 18th Regi-
ment of Foot. He. with his wife,
Mary de Hane, came to Maryland
from Kiltimon. County Wicklow.
Ireland Henry Segrave was descend
ed from Richard Segrave, chief baron
of the exchequer of Ireland in 1404,
and from Baron Segrave of Barton
Segrave, who lived in the thirteenth
century.
The color description of the Segrave
coat of arms is as follows: Quarterly.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
A Secret of Success.

GUCCESS has many secrets. That is
~ because the depth Of the human
mind has never been fathomed. And
since success depends upon knowing
how to handle people, you are always
dealing with the unknown.
One secret of success is to learn to
keep from telling secrets. You can
never gain the confidence of one man
by telling him something confidential
about another. Your story may be
interesting. but it will be more likely
to throw the spotlight upon yourself
than upon another. Men who are
worth trying to get along with are
turned against you the moment they
find in you propensity to tell secrets.
The prospect of having you around is
embarrassing.
What is the makeup of the man
who tells secrets and then pretendS
that he knows still others? Nine times
out of ten he is a Weakling. He is
trying to initiate his Debated ego. He
is thinking about himself instead of
about the success he would like to
attain. When he pretends to possess
mysterious information, the mystery
he is trying to conceal is not what he
knows. but how he feels.
Mysterious things have always been
fearful things. That's why children
are afraid of the dark. That's why
people fear the poSSeSsor of mysteri-
Gus information If you just can't
keep from throwing light on dark
things, you can't help throwing light
on yourself
