Tai-Chi and Western Culture Self Defense Most people are generally familiar with the art of Tai-Chi, but Western Culture can hold back and have a negative effect on potential students. Many beginners obsess over doing the movements perfectly and when confronted by the fact that “perfection” is illusory and relative, they stress out or quit. One must develop patience and accept some uncertainty during the learning process. One
must resist the feeling that if it is not perfect, it is wrong. A crucial Tai-Chi concept debunks this kind of thinking. Adapting to the changes in one’s life and to one’s body is a very basic “teaching.” Students who have had the staying power to try it for a few months are convinced that the benefits of training are substantial and lasting. Western Culture, with all the allure of focusing

on youthful energy, hard work, fairytale beauty, time management, gaining wealth, and searching for “the good life” (for perfection), can be demanding and cause a great deal of stress. Tai-Chi is a mental and physical discipline that can help one overcome the need to be perfect and allow you to live in the moment. The Art is rich and understanding the depth of its teaching requires a longer journey than most students allow themselves to experience. Clearing the mind of resistance is the first step toward calm thought. Breath control and soft, slow, continuous movement, bring clarity and tranquility. This “Grand Ultimate” art creates a centered, harmonious, healthier – you. Trying it may surprise even you.

New art workshops set for late fall at Oracle home studio
Three new art workshops have been added to the fall schedule of casual, half-day classes at the spacious Cowlin home studio in Oracle. Taught by artists Barbara Kemp Cowlin and Val Bembenek, the hands-on sessions are open to all who love to create art, from novice to experienced. “Decorating Papers with Paste & Paint” is set for Tuesday, Oct. 25. The “paste paper” technique is similar to finger painting with thickened paints, but utilizes sticks and combs to create amazing textural patterns in mixes of bold colors. The finished papers can be used for cards, collage, book covers, and origami. “Folded Paper Origami Boxes” on Wednesday, Oct. 26, is designed for beginners. The small group will finish open and lidded boxes in various sizes, shapes, and colors for spectacular gifting. Anyone looking to make their own unique holiday cards can sign up for the “Card-Making Extravaganza.” In two separate sessions on Nov. 8 and 9, workshoppers will work from a variety of card designs and learn dozens of techniques. As with all workshops, all materials are provided. A detailed schedule, full workshop descriptions, fee and registration information can be downloaded at www. barbarakempcowlin.com/workshops. Sessions are held from 10AM to 2PM. Other October workshops include “Color Theory Intensive” (Oct. 11 and 12); Stenciling & Stamping” (Oct. 18); and “Making Stab Bound Books” (Oct. 19).

Historic downtown Globe announces 2011 Halloween weekend activities On a spooky Halloween weekend, that stretches out beyond the bounds of time, throughout the well-rounded town of Globe, many creatures will be creeping: revelers seeking ghostly mayhem, gluttonous munchers bearing fangs at toothsome treats, some carving evil faces into fruits of harvest and fire breathers will unite to tempt us all. Do you care to join in, my friend, and take your chances there? Or, will you run away before they scare gray into your hair? Or, to put it another way, from October 28 through Monday, October 31, the Annual Historic Globe Fall Festival will be celebrated. That’s right, a four-day festival in celebration of ghosts, pumpkins, family, friends, ripened wheat and all things autumnal, frightening or otherwise. On Friday, October 28, activities will include the Copper Rim Elementary and Cobre Valley Center for the Arts Carnival on Oak Street, with games,
food, vendor booths and hay rides. The fun doesn’t end there, though. Why not try your hand at pumpkin carving, in the Seventh Annual B.Y.O.P. (Bring your own Pumpkin) Town Pumpkin Carving Contest and Event. You provide the pumpkin, they provide the tools and tables, contest and fun! Fun is carved out at 5 - 8 p.m., with judging announced at 7:30 p.m. In the mood for something spicier? Join in the Chili and Dutch Oven Cook-off, also from 5 - 8 p.m., with judging announced at 7:30 p.m. For adult-sized scariness, the Haunted 1910 Historic Jail can be visited from 7 – 11 p.m., for a mere $5; but, if you are under the age of eight, you will need to go to the Halloween Not-SoScary Kids Zone for your dose of teeth chattering terror. Memorialize the fun at the Seventh Annual Pictures on the Porch Event, with local photographer Linda Gross on hand to snap your Halloween Family Pictures That’s just one night! On Saturday, October 29, from 10 a.m. – dusk, a carnival, complete with vendor booths, will be available and fun will be the order
of the day. More hay rides will be taken and when you’ve had all the riding you can usefully take, you may want to join in the Annual Ghosts of Globe Walking Tour, with a unique route and new features. The tour which kicks off from the Old jail on Oak Street starting at 6:30 p.m., with the last tour leaving at 8 p.m., costs $5 to join. Please wear comfortable shoes. Also, please note that not all stops are ADA
compliant so please ask for special assistance at checkin, if needed. Of course the Haunted 1910 Historic Jail or Halloween Not-So-Scary Kids Zone can still be visited, under the usual terms.

Shootout in Devil’s Canyon, By John Hernandez Pinal County Sheriff Henry Hall had only been Sheriff for three months before the killings in Devil’s Canyon. He was selected by the County Board of Supervisors after the previous Sheriff James
McGee had died suddenly. Hall’s name was literally drawn out of a hat after the three Supervisors could not come to an agreement on three candidates for the temporary position. They agreed to put the three names in a hat and have

an impartial person pull the name. Hall’s name was selected. Henry had been a saloon keeper in Benson. He was a Deputy Sheriff in Bisbee and Lowell, Arizona, both tough mining towns. In 1908, Hall quit the Bisbee police force to open up a saloon with another ex-policeman Del Lewis. The bar was called the Beer Garden and was located on Naco Street. Shortly before 4 a.m. on the morning of Sept. 18, 1908, Hall shot and killed Glen Langford at the Canadian Club in the “red light” district. He then turned himself in to Officer Frank Johnson. Langford was a card sharp and had a reputation as a “bad” man and a bully. Langford also spent two years in an Oklahoma prison for horse theft. Witnesses reported that Langford began insulting Hall shortly after he entered the saloon. Hall exchanged words with him and then Langford made an aggressive move towards Hall. “He made a motion for his gun and knowing the reputation that he had, I did not wait to see whether he had or not, but shot as I thought in self defense,”
Just Ad de Junio d rs
Hall said. Hall shot Langford in the head and hip. No weapon was found on Langford that morning. Later that day a witness confessed to having picked up Langford’s pistol and hidden it behind the bar. The gun was a .41 double derringer. Hall was exonerated by a

of Lowell is now buried in the Lavender Pit at Bisbee.) A report from the Bisbee Daily Review dated January 17, 1912 said: “Henry Hall leaves for Ray where he will be a special officer for the mining companies there. Mr. Hall has been Deputy Sheriff at Lowell under Sheriff White and a braver, abler officer never wore a star. A host of friends wish him luck.” After the killings in Devil’s Canyon, Hall used the notoriety of having arrested all the gang of Mexicans involved to win the election for Pinal County Sheriff held that November. He served as Sheriff of Pinal County from 1914 to 1920. During his time in office, three of his Deputies were murdered by gunfire. Two of them were killed by Mexicans from Sonora. Sheriff Hall proposed a theory to explain the shooting of Phinn Brown. Brown went in search of Pedro Smith believing that Smith and his halfbrother Ubaldo Amaya were suspects in a murder of a mine employee at the Carney Mine. He said that Smith knew Brown suspected him and his brother of the murder. Smith stole the horse and deliberately paraded it around Ray so Brown would come after him. This did not make sense – why would Phinn, an experienced lawman having been a Cochise County Ranger, take a 17 year old boy with him while expecting a possible confrontation with two murderers? Another theory that was rumored was that Smith had been in Cananea, Mexico during a mine strike. Brown was alleged to have been involved in an incident which Smith had witnessed, where 30 Mexicans were killed. Although unlikely, this was a possibility as Brown was

Part Four: The Aftermath in Cochise County around the time of the Cananea mine strike in 1906 where a number of Mexicans were killed and could have been one of the posse members that Captain Rynning of the Arizona Rangers took in to Mexico to quell the strike. Brown was survived by his widow and at least one child. Many of the Mexicans in Sonora and the surrounding areas believed that the horse theft charge was trumped up so the authorities could arrest “troublemakers.” Some information says Smith and Ramon Villalobo were listed as union agitators by the Ray Consolidated Copper Company. The battle in the canyon was also described in one book: “A posse of Americans fought a pitched battle with Mexican unionists after they were accused of stealing a horse near Ray, Arizona.” It was also believed that Smith was one of the many Mexicans laid off by the mine. There were some reports that Pedro Smith and his wife were owed money by the mine and were angry because they had not been
paid. Within a few days of his death, his widow Josie was “asked” to leave town by authorities. A news dispatch from Ray said, “She has a reputation as a rifle shot and it was feared she would revenge herself on the husband’s slayers.” The three Mexicans that were arrested as suspects in the Devil’s Canyon murders were Juan Sol, Jose Maria Alvarado aka Antonio Lopez, and Ramon Villalobo. It was reported in the Arizona Blade Tribune that there did not appear to be enough evidence in the case of Juan Sol to convict him. No information could be found out about the fate of Alvarado. It is known that he was not executed or given a life sentence as he is not listed in Arizona Department of Corrections records. As for Ramon Villalobo, he was tried and convicted of murdering Phinn Brown and sentenced to death by hanging. He was originally sentenced to be hanged on December 19, 1914 along with 10 other convicted murderers. Warden Sims at the Arizona State Prison said that the hanging of 11

men in one day would be too stressful for him and his staff. “The executioner who could stand the strain of dropping the trap under 11 persons does not exist,” he told Governor Hunt. It was proposed that a hanging platform be constructed at the prison for the simultaneous execution of the 11 men. The proposal was turned down and the prisoners were re-sentenced with new execution dates. The killings in Devil’s
Canyon were used by newspapers and by politicians to argue for the death penalty in Arizona. Democratic Governor George W.P. Hunt was vehemently against the death penalty. He was President of the AntiCapital Punishment Society of America in 1914. That year Arizona legislators had placed an anti-capital punishment amendment on the ballot for November. No one had been executed in Arizona since it had become a state on February
14, 1912. In November, the anti-capital punishment amendment was defeated in the election. Ramon Villalobo was sentenced to be hanged on July 30, 1915 along with four other Mexicans. A newly formed Mexican civil rights group, the Liga Protectora Latina (Latin Protection League), fought to prevent the mass execution of the five Mexicans. The League would go on to fight for equality and deal with issues of civil rights and labor abuse.
Page 5
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State for the United States, intervened and corresponded with the Governor asking him to put a halt to the mass execution. The five Mexicans were granted a reprieve and new individual execution dates were set. Of the first 10 executions by hanging carried out at the Florence prison between 1910 and 1920, nine were Mexicans or Mexican Americans. See Shootout, Page 12

Jay Smith teaches dogs and their humans By John Hernandez Jay Smith has been training dogs professionally for 12 years but has been working with dogs for many years before that. He also has four dogs of his own. Jay is the owner and trainer for Community Dog Training located in Oracle. Community Dog Training offers clicker training, service dog training. Aggression/ Fear training, obedience,
retrieving and snake/toad avoidance training. Jay will do private or group training sessions. He does seminars and workshops for organizations. He is also a distributor of Flint River Ranch natural dog food products. Community Dog Training offers daycare and boarding services for your dog(s). J ay says he enjoys teaching aggression/fear training the most. He loves teaching people how to “be smarter not
stronger than their dog.” Jay has volunteered his time to teach others how to train dogs. He was part of the Second Chance Program where inmates at a private prison in Florence were taught to train dogs rescued from a shelter to perform services such as opening and closing doors, retrieving dropped items, turning lights on and off, pulling wheel chairs and being good companions to people with disabilities. He also ran a program along with Julie Hall at the Sycamore Canyon Academy near Oracle. The program taught troubled teenagers to train and care for shelter dogs which would then be adopted out. Not only did the dogs benefit but the teens learned responsibility, caring for others and other life skills from the program. One of Jay’s more

popular training classes is rattlesnake avoidance training. On Saturday, Sept. 14, he worked with Luke Smith and Claire Rietsch and their dogs Emma and Tucker. Jay uses live rattlesnakes that he keeps in a terrarium. He feeds them and even gives them names. Two snakes were being used for the day’s training session. One was named Precious and the other Sweetness. Jay said that Sweetness was named after the Hall of Fame Chicago Bears football player Walter Payton whose nickname was Sweetness for the sweet way he could run the football. Jay lived in the Chicago area for a number of years. The rattlers are defanged by Jay to prevent the dogs from serious harm.

how to interact with each other, nature their property on Tucson’s north side and were worried about their young dogs. Jay begins the training by putting a shock collar on the dogs. A snake is put out on the ground in an open area. The snake immediately curled in a striking position and as people or a dog approached began to rattle. Jay then walked the dog in a circle around the snake and then back and forth each time bringing the dog a little closer to the snake. When the dog started to get a little too close to the snake, Jay would give the dog a mild shock and then reinforce that it was the snake that had caused the pain. Then Jay would have the owner handle the dog and repeat the same sequence that Jay had. After a couple of shocks, the dogs were pulling at the leash to stay away from Precious. Jay then had another snake in a bag which he placed underneath a bush. He had the owners walk their dog near the bush to pick up the scent of the
snake. As their curiosity brought them close to the bag, they were zapped by the shock collar. They quickly learned not to get close to the scent. During the training Jay explained to Luke and Claire what he was going to do and how the dog should react. He encouraged questions and explained how the training works. At the end of the training Jay gave Luke some training tips for his Labrador retriever
Emma as Luke wants to teach her to bird hunt. Jay has also trained some of our local firefighters from the Oracle Fire Department how to handle and retrieve rattle snakes. Their training has come in handy as they get five or six calls a month to remove snakes from residential areas. The fire fighters turn the snakes over to Jay who releases them in the wild unless he finds one he can use for
avoidance training. Jay offered some training concepts and some of his philosophy in training dogs. He does not believe in hitting, kicking or screaming at your dog and advocates responsible pet ownership as well as humane training practices. • If you treat your dog like a human, they will treat you like a dog. • Training a dog is not a power struggle. You can’t fix aggression with aggression. • Set up your dog and their environment to succeed. • Be the leader and control the access to everything the dog likes. Nothing in life is free, make them earn it. • Focus on what your dog does right not what they do wrong. It makes for better communication and a better relationship.

Steel and Heat: Recycled art of Larry Jochai to By Taylor Beard Have you ever met someone who is such a verdant wealth of information that you’re just taken aback for a moment? Where they are blasting you with so much relevant information that you just need a few minutes to catch-up and process it all and then you’re good? I met that man recently. Larry Jochai. My very first impression was the man’s got a killer instinct. Please do not misunderstand how I mean this use of terminology. I mean this in two ways: (a) he has a sharp intuition into a necessity this planet must realize and (b) he is a killer in regards to the beast he is trying to tackle. Not only is he trying to revolutionize Arizona through
recycling with his company, Orion Recycling, but he is taking it one step further by re-using the recycled products brought to him through incorporating them into works of art. This is a whole new kind of wicked cool! The Beast in question would be showing the world that everything has a purpose – everything can be transformed into someone’s view of what is beautiful. And yes, unfortunately it will be someone’s view and not everyone’s view, since the really fantastic thing about humanity is that we are all different with a vast divergence of wants, desires and needs. Larry understands this all too well and embraces it along with the challenge it
presents. So there I was, standing in the heat, stuffed into the small shack that operates as the scale house at Orion Recycling, listening to various entities chatter about the various scrap they had brought to Larry, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. It gave me a nice little slice into the world that Larry maneuvers through, gave me a better understanding of the complexity of his passion. Larry is an artist and definitely what I would call a true artist; and by “true,” I mean that not only does he create art, but he contemplates every facet of its creation, depth and meaning. Maybe my definition of true is different from someone else’s and that’s fine by me.

be featured at annual Superior Dia de Colores Larry takes found objects, whether they are found in his scrap yard or found in nature, and uses them to create artwork. An object might be used as the main component of the piece of art or it might simply be a detail. He works his magic through sculpture with wood, plaster, steel and probably anything else he might come across if he can find a use for it. A piece might be created from one of these bases or from all of them, it just depends on the vision that Larry has. For instance, Larry is currently working on a bust that will incorporate both steel and wood. From what he described to me combined with his artwork that I have seen previously, I am thinking this is going to be a pretty incredible chunk of pure creation. The first piece of Larry’s artwork that I ever had the pleasure of coming across started out as a propane tank, obviously something that another person had discarded as junk…then Larry came along and literally proved the old adage of “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” by taking that propane tank and turning into a sculpture of a pumpkin. Unless you have been told that it was once a propane tank, you would never know it. He melted, molded and welded the steel in such a liquid way that its previous life is disguised or rather wiped away. Think about all the discarded propane tanks that are out there and then consider how many different bulbous sculptures or even nonbulbous sculptures you could weld from that pile. This brings me to the second
impression I had of Mr. Jochai. Standing there in the scale house, I immediately noticed his wide, bright smile and immensely jovial nature… he was somewhat dusty and sweaty (as one would be working in a recycling center in Arizona) and one thing that stood out more than really anything else was the fact that with each transaction between Larry and a patron, that huge smile was flashed – not in the smarmy “I’m gonna make a good deal for you” salesman sort of way, but rather in the manner that it was as if each person to bringing their lot to Larry was really bringing Larry a gift. Regardless of how hot or dusty or chaotic things got, Larry loves what he does and more especially, he looks out at something that most would call ‘scrap’ and sees endless possibility. Even standing in his scale house, I notice miniature pieces of artwork that have that undeniable touch of Larry in them. Larry told me about the process of molding a piece of art. “It gets intense, you’re
burning your flesh, but in the end the one or two maybe even three burns that you get are so worth it, they seem like nothing,” he said. That’s commitment, passion
and serious enjoyment all rolled up in one hot ball. I just suffered a bad sunburn recently and I was seriously not a fan…enduring the type of burn that would no doubt
result from welding steel, which mind you melts at 3000˚, and then passing off as nothing speaks volumes of the love between this man and the work he is creating. Working around that kind of intense heat would be a bummer in Minnesota or New York. I cannot imagine it in the extreme environment that Arizona presents. I asked Larry what he enjoys most about his artwork and he explained to me that through
it he can see the vibration or connection that we all have with one another; through art it is easier to notice that all things are connected, everything has a purpose. Art is simply one person’s expression of their experience in life and that is a beautiful thing. A really dynamic point that is especially wonderful about Larry and his artwork is that he understands the See Jochai, Page 11

Shootout
Continued from Page 5 The one Anglo listed was believed to be a Spaniard. Attempts were made to appeal Villalobo’s conviction and sentence. Under Arizona law at the time, an appeal needed to be filed within 60 days of the conviction. His original attorney, John P. Conmy, failed to appeal within the time frame. John P. Conmy was listed in a newspaper article in 1913 as the attorney for Ray Consolidated Copper Company in a wrongful death suit where he negotiated an $800 settlement with the family of a Mexican miner that had been killed in an accident at the Ray mine. New attorneys for Villalobo filed the appeal seven months after the conviction but it was denied on the time frame issue. One of his appeal attorneys was Stephen H.
Abbey. Abbey would go on to become a Superior Court Judge in Pinal County. He would go down in Arizona history as the only judge to ever be recalled in the state. Abbey identified the leaders of the recall attempt as Pinal County Attorney Earl P. Patterson and Clerk of the Court J.D. Bennett. Abbey said that Bennett had admitted to him that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and Abbey alleged the recall was a plan by the Klan to take over the judiciary in Pinal County as it had other county offices. An attempt in 1923 to recall Abbey was dismissed on a technicality. He was successfully recalled in 1924. The KKK was known to be active in Pinal County and Arizona in the early 1920s. On December 10, 1915 Ramon Villalobo was hanged at the prison in Florence. Newspaper accounts of the execution said that he wore a bouquet
of flowers, a gift from one of the guards, around his neck. Father Peter Heriz, a Catholic priest from Florence, prepared Villalobos for death. Father Heriz said that he believed that Villalobos was not guilty. Warden Sims said that two officers from Pinal County also felt the same way about Villalobo. Villalobo walked steadily up to the gallows. Along the way he shook hands and embraced those who were about to execute him. He stood on the gallows and said in Spanish, “I am about to die. I am innocent. I have killed no one. I forgive everybody.” At 3:15 p.m. the trap door was sprung. Fourteen minutes later, Ramon Villalobo was pronounced dead, the first man to be executed by the state of Arizona. As for the alleged “riot” in Sonora it is not certain exactly what happened if anything. It is well known that when full scale mine
operations began in 1910 at the Ray Consolidated Copper Company, the company began a campaign of deliberate racist repression against the Mexican and Spanish communities of Sonora and Barcelona. Although there were unions at Ray, Mexicans were forbidden to organize or participate in union activity. The company owned most of the land in and around Ray. The company’s domination of its “fiefdom” also was extended to surrounding areas and privately owned businesses. Company officials were constantly filtering out anyone they tagged as “troublemakers.” Anyone considered a threat to or unfriendly to corporate interests was either silenced or forced to leave town by means of threats, intimidation, beatings and jail sentences. Ray authorities who helped maintain control of the town included special See Shootout, Page 13

Continued from Page 12 deputies that worked for the company, a “town overseer,” a Justice of the Peace and the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department. The General Manager of Ray was Louis S. Cates. He became known as the “Czar of the Pinals” because of his heavy handed control of the Ray area. Cates developed the innovative “block caving” method of underground mining. It was first used at Ray in 1911. He would go on to become President of Phelps Dodge and is in the Mining Hall of Fame. J.W. Dunlap controlled and censored Ray social gatherings and entertainment. He once refused to allow a circus to entertain in Sonora because he said, “times were hard and work was slack.” The Justice of the Peace in Ray was E.W. “Judge” French. He was said to have bragged about his skill in defying lawyers, illegally trying felony cases and securing convictions whenever he chose to do so. Judge French may have prosecuted the case against Ramon Villalobo which seems unusual as he was not with the Pinal County Attorney’s Office. After the killings in the canyon and the alleged riot in Sonora, the authorities in Ray continued their totalitarian control of Sonora and the area. The people of Sonora tried to live as normal as possible. They celebrated Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16 as usual. It was said that the population of Sonora was between four and five thousand during 1914 – 1915. Barcelona’s population was 1,000. The Anglo population in Ray of only 1,000 meant they were the minority in the area. Community leaders in Sonora contacted civil rights activists in Los Angeles and Denver asking for help because they felt they were being persecuted by the authorities. Arizona’s first war era labor activism had just begun with the incidents

Nugget surrounding Sonora. The people from Sonora contacted Lazaro Gutierrez de Lara in Los Angeles. He telegraphed Governor Hunt with a request to intervene. Gutierrez de Lara was an experienced organizer in the southwest. He had friends in the Southern California International Workers of the World (IWW) and the Western Federation of Miners (WFM). Governor Hunt although defensive at first, agreed to look into the matter. Hunt along with his friends and associates in the Globe-Miami and Ray area would help to facilitate real workplace changes in Ray, GlobeMiami and indirectly in the Clifton-Morenci area. Hunt was considered a friend of labor and now he would become directly involved in the labor struggles in Arizona. Governor Hunt investigated the August 1914 Ray murders and the conditions in Ray. Besides the racism and inequalities in pay, working conditions were bad. Mining was a dangerous occupation. In 1913, the annual report of the State Mine Inspector reported that “the mining companies were doing everything they could to render conditions better for the men.” It went on to list 29 deaths by mining accidents in the state.
Twelve of those deaths were at the Ray mine. In 1914 there were 69 people killed by accident in the mines of Arizona. Hunt concluded that Mexican and Spanish workers were ‘justifiably angry”. In his diary he said about Ray, “the condition is bad there, feudalism” [sic]. In January 1915 there was a mine strike in Miami involving 1,500 men. The WFM and the Comité por Trabajadores en General (General Workers Committee) had organized the strike. The Comité was a mutual assistance organization made up of Mexican mine workers. The strike was well organized and peaceful. It lasted two weeks and won an increase in wages for the mine workers. Union activists in the MiamiGlobe area had been attempting to stir up the Hispanic workers at the Ray mine and encourage them to organize for some time. After the recent events at Ray, the workers and people of Sonora had reached a boiling point. In late June 1915, around 100 Mexicans from Sonora organized a meeting and decided to strike against the Ray Consolidated Copper Company. On June 27, almost all of the Ray area Mexican and Spanish workers walked off the job. About 10 Anglo-Irish

workers joined them. Although the issues of wages, working conditions and the right to organize were a large part of the worker’s concerns, the strike was also about social change. Ray Consolidated moved quickly against the strikers. Communication with areas outside of Ray was virtually cut off. Strikers were arrested and
numerous armed guards hired by the company patrolled Sonora and Barcelona. Several strikers were beaten, threatened with jail sentences and kicked out of the area. The last paycheck of the striking miners was held up and merchants were encouraged by mine authorities to garnishee their wages. Outside assistance for the miners
also began coming in. Miami’s WFM Local #70 hired a Phoenix attorney F.C. Struckmeyer to defend the arrested strikers and help with negotiations. Miami men both Hispanic and Anglo raised money to support the strikers. The Liga Protectora Latina also sent support. National union organizers came to See Shootout, Page 14

Shootout
two automobile loads of men went over yesterday,” it read. Governor Hunt had gone to Miami during the Ray strike at the request of Miami’s local union. He was aware of the situation and threatened to declare martial law and call in the National Guard. He found management, rather than Mexican workers would initiate the violence. He announced that the Guard would be used to disarm the Ray Consolidated guard patrols. Within two weeks the strike would be settled. The strikers would not get equality. That was still a long way off. They did win a 60 cent flat daily raise increase but more importantly they had functioned like a local union, organizing pickets, posting notices, enforcing strike discipline and negotiating with management. The workers looked at it as a victory. There would be no turning back for the Mexican workers. As one news correspondent later reported, “The Mexican and Spanish worker has now had a taste of power.” Within days of the strike’s end, the Miami local created a Ray union branch. It would later be converted to the Ray Miner’s Union. Another strike in CliftonMorenci would follow. Governor Hunt would intervene on the side of the workers. These strikes would start a succession
of labor-management wars throughout the western United States that would continue through 1918 and would change western working-class ethnic relations. It stretches the imagination to think that the theft of a horse could trigger all the events that followed. At least seven men lost their lives and maybe as many as 16. The event led to more repression of the Hispanic population of the area which led to outside help coming to Ray and even the involvement of the governor. There is no doubt that the killings were due to racial tensions and were related in some way to the work and social environment in Ray as well as the fear and prejudice in Arizona at the time. A livestock report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture appeared in one of the newspapers in the same issue when the Devil’s Canyon murders were first reported. It said that “the Arizona horse is only worth $73 a head.” We don’t believe they counted that one horse in Ray. The progress made by the mine unions during this period would be halted and some unions would be dissolved or become powerless after America’s entry into World War I in 1917. In 1917, the Jerome and Bisbee deportations effectively curtailed union activity for years to come. In the governor’s election of 1916, Hunt lost by 30 votes to Thomas E. Campbell. Hunt disputed the results of the election and fought in the courts to regain his position. He would be reinstated as Governor by the Arizona Supreme Court a year later. It is felt by some scholars that had Governor Hunt not been removed from office for that year, that the illegal deportations in Bisbee and Jerome would not have taken place.
Continued from Page 13 Ray. The Ray and Miami worker’s collaboration was a new phenomenon in the southwest. Ray Consolidated purchased large amounts of ammunition and several carloads of men had been brought in to the Ray/ Sonora area. These men had been hired and told “they would be enlisted to fight Mexican revolutionists.” The scene was being set for what could be truly called a “race war.” Due to the tight control of communication in and out of Ray, newspapers were not aware of or report much on the strike. A July 4 issue of the Tombstone Epitaph reported that unfounded rumors of trouble at Ray on June 27 reported that there had been a riot in Sonoratown and Officer Al Lopez and another officer had been shot and killed. “Sheriff Hall was at Ray and said there was no trouble.

Just in time for Fall … Carlink Pumpkins! By John Hernandez Pumpkins are believed to have originated in Central America. Seeds of related plants have been found in Mexico that date back to between 7,000 and 5,500 B.C. Native Americans used pumpkins as a staple in their diet and cut the dried shells into strips to sew into mats. When white settlers arrived in America, they used pumpkin in their diet and learned to cultivate it. They sent seeds back to Europe where it became popular and now pumpkins are grown all over the world. American colonists first made pumpkin pie by filling a hollowed out shell with milk, honey and spices. It is now a traditional part of Thanksgiving dinner. The pumpkin is also a regular part of Halloween. If you want to get ready for the holidays early, pumpkins are being made available by a local rancher/farmer. Buy them fresh, buy them local. Stephanie and Andrew Smallhouse have been growing pumpkins on 15 acres of their Carlink Ranch near Redington. This historic ranch has been owned by the same family for more than 127 years. These locally grown pumpkins and honey will be for sale during the month of October at 77north Marketplace in Catalina. Beginning October 1, they will be at the Marketplace Thursday
through Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. On Friday they will be open from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. Andy and Stephanie have been selling fresh produce from the ranch at the Friday Farmer’s Market at 77north for some time now. They have had watermelons, cantaloupe, squash varieties, cucumbers as well as honey and home made pickles for sale. In these tough times for ranchers they are finding ways to diversify to make ends meet. Andy said that he had not grown pumpkins since he was
in high school. While in high school he planted pumpkins, watered, tended and picked them. He would then sell and deliver them to local markets including the old Gordon’s Market. He was able to make and save enough money to pay for college. The Carlink Ranch pumpkins are being sold up in Dewey, Arizona at Mortimer’s Family Farm. Pumpkins by the truckload are also for sale.
