that one young woman was

One conjecture Is that the

At any event, the tragedy points
UP a pertinent questionable
desirability OF putting such
high horsepower in q boat so
small.
One of the points being en-
phasized by the Coast Guard
Auxiliary in its safety lectures
is do not overpower your
boat" Boats certified by the
Cupboard Boating club of
America carry a plate stating
the maximum recommended
OBC rated horsepower the boat
Is designed to carry. The plate
also shows the maximum num-
Der Of passengers the boat
should carry.
The company which sold this
particular boat says that 1t was
rated to carry a motor up to 70
horsepower. At the same time.
the company said 1t warned the
buyer about too big a motor.
Now 1t is true that many
beamy runabouts. suitably de-
signed, can carry high horse
power motors. even though
their overall length may be no
more than is feet.
On the other hand, that
power should only be used

the window was open. Someone

and killed him +. The Earps took
back the body to California for

Frank Stilwell had something to

They rode across the country GO

EDITORS NOTE: Following
is an editing of the first pages
of memoirs of Sam Aaron by
Jacob r. Marcus as published in

down as merchant in Stockton,

pioneer. The Archives used the
title of can Arizona Pioneer"

carry a revenue in Mexico. Some
of these outfits would have mer-
chandise valued at 100000 or
more.
Many of these smuggling trains,
when they had to be unloaded,
were ambushed by rustlers. These
rustlers were made up, for the
greater part, of renegades who in
tested Arizona. Most of them came
from Texas because they feared
the Rangers. A good many of these
rustlerS were widely known
by their escapades.
The Clantons were comprised of
father, mother, and three boys;
Ike the oldest, Fin the second, and
Billy was the kid. They were the
leaders of a gang of so. They lived
in mud houses alongside the san
Pedro River. Their eScapadeS were
many, but my connections with
those men came about through the
fact that they had placed con-
fidence in me and would bring
their money to me to hold and di-
vide it up among them.
WILL SAY this, that they held
themselves aloof of any crime
against the United States govern
ment. They would not hold up a
stage, bother the mail, but would
steal as high as 1000 cattle at one
time in Mexico. They would start
in Sonora, Mexico, and would drive
forth everything they could lay
their eyes on.
The carp boys were us. mar
shals and deputies. One deputy,
called doc Halliday" had a rep
utation of being the quickest man
in the territory on the trigger. He
had this advantage, that if he stood
sideways, he could hardly be seen
he was so thin.
The stages would be held up
mostly going from Tombstone to a
town called Fairbanks, which was
the terminal of the railroad. That
stage always carried an armed
messenger. There was one mes
senger whom they all feared-his
name was Robert) Paul, who was
afterward the sheriff of Pima Coun-
ty. The Earps and their combina-
tions would commit depredationS,
and Immediately blame it on the
Clantons. And there always was 8
feud between the Clantons and the
EarpS.
THE EARPS ALL wore steel
shirts. Billy Clanton, 16, was In
Tombstone one day when there
were six horsemen riding up the
street who belonged to the Earps
faction, and they spotted Billy and
started to shoot.
| All cowboys, Clantons, carried 9
brace of two guns and a belt OF
ammunition at all times. Wher
Billy was first shot he dropped &c
the ground and emptied his right
hand gun until his enemies bullets
hit his right arm. He Immediately
reached with his left hand, pulled
his other gun, and emptied 1t be-
fore they got him.

man afloat than Jack.
In the meantime, the furnace
would start to kick and buck, she
would start to freeze, and we would
have a hell of a time.
One time there was fight in the
feed room between the feeder and
the chargewheeler. The feeder hit
the chargewheeler with shovel,
showed his body into the furnace
and his lunch can with him, leaving
no evidence behind him. About
eight months after this fight, this
man took sick and held his secret
until he knew he was going to die.
He then confessed on his deathbed.
The town of Charleston had a
payroll of $50 people, mostly men
who worked for the smelters day
or night. Some poor mortal would
be shuffled off every morning. They

could not straignren and could not
close my hands. But / went back
to work the next day and worked
Just as hard as the first day. But
on the third shift, I discovered the
art of hitting the seam of the rock,
which made my work much easier.
I received $3.50 a day for my work.
Just as 1 finished my third shift,
the superintendent approached me
and told me to report in the mill
tomorrow morning and gave me a
job emptying the tanks after they
were filled with sand. It took 21s
hours to fill the tanks and one-half
hour to empty them. We had a
rest between times. 1t was like eat
ing lemon cream pies as compar.
ed with my first job.
FROM THEN on I was raised.
I worked in the mill three months,
and they wanted to make an "am-
algamator" out of me, but I object
ed, as the mercury has bad ef-
feet on the amalgamatorS.
They then moved me over to
the smelter and put me to wheel
ing charges. We used to hit the
chute and let the coke go into the
wheelbarrow, and weigh it, three
wheelbarrows of coke to one OF
sand, one flux, two ore, and wheel
it to the top of the furnace and the
feeder would put 1t in.
Before long I was brought down
stairs and made pot-wrestler
dumping out the slag). Then I was
made Taper; afterwards a night
boss.
The ore that we handled was
hard to smelt. Ten men lost jobs
not being able to handle it. Final
ly we got a man from Elko, Jack
Reynolds, who knew his business.
He was paid $40 a day for his serv-
