Picture Painted
Bv Unknown Artist
Attracts Attention

AS far away as Boston, they
talk about the unsual picture
painted on the wall of Montezuma
Inn by an unknown artist.
The story that lies back OF the
painting of Chief Montezuma on
the plaster wall or Montezuma Inn
near Picacho, might have been
written by o. Henry.
If you have been to the inn you
may, or may not, have seen the
painting, for it is hidden behind
the entrance door.
If, however, you happened to
notice it, the eyes would hold your
attention-and if you were curious
enough to ask about 1t ana
chanced to find Roy Clark. owner
of the inn, in a communicative
mood you would hear a strange
story.
1t happened while Doc CIV. H.)
TAYLOR still owned the inn.
Strange thing about that pic
ture," Clark will say. pleased that
1t has caught your attention from
its unobtrusive position.
Nobody knows who painted IT..
and the chances are, never Will.
Did you notice it wasn't signed?
If you are attracted by the un-
usual, your interest will be aroused
and, if Mr.. Clark is not too busy,
he may tell you the story, as he
told the writer.
Several years ago, when Doc
Taylor owned the inn, a tired
dusty man with the usual tranci-
ent's baggage. walked into the
place and suggested to the propri-
tor that he paint him a picture.
Doc didn't want a picture, but
there was something about the
mans face-an urgent desperation
looking out through the eyes-that
made Doc hesitate to refuse. Half
suspecting a catch in the situa-
ton, but dreading another hard
luck story, Doc pointed to place
on the wall, behind the door,
where no matter how awful the
daub. it. wouldn't be noticeable.
The stranger unwrapped some
tubes and brushes. 81 will paint
you my conception of the Chief
for whom this inn is named" he
said.
Doc left him there, his slender
hands mixing cOlors on an old
palette.
Doc forgot him, and it was al
most with surprise that. hours
later, he head him say, "It is
finished"
The proprietor went over to
look and stood staring at the pic
ture of the victorious Cheif that
greeted him. What do you want
for it?"
"a meal"
So the man ate, and went on.
Too late, Doc remembered that
he hadn't asked his name-and
the picture was unsigned.
Almost from the first it was
noticed that the changing angle
of light that fell upon the picture
as one moved about the room,
struck the face and neck in such
way that it created the illusion
of life, as if Montezuma turned
slowly to watch those, who watch
ed him.
The picture is there-you may
see it for yourself, as did the
artist and his wife from the east,
who were touring through Arizona
and happened to stop at the inn
by chance
Since he became the owner,
says Mr.. Clark, friends of the
! artist and his wife, who live near

Boston, also stopped while touring
to see the picture. He told them
not to miss it and had given them
explicit directions for locating the
inn, because he considered the
painting among the most interest

state" 1t is extremely well ex.

artist as saying, and would be
