STEWART LOGLE
Arizona Republican Newspaper
April 5, 1905
Stewart Logle, little son of Rev. and Mrs. George Logle died
late Monday evening in Tucson and is to be buried in Flagstaff
on Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Logle are expected here on the morning
train from the south and will leave tomorrow on the Santa Fe.
Mr. Logle is known to many people here as he has been in this
city often during the seven years of residence in the
territory. Until last fall he was pastor of the Presbyterian
Church of Flagstaff and left only that he might be in a lower
altitude for his little son whose heart was affected by the
elevation of Flagstaff. Last June he spent here supplying
the pulpit of the Presbyterian church. In August he passed
through the city on one of the detoured trains from California
taking the body of his only daughter for burial in Flagstaff.
Stewart is the only other child of the family. Mr. Logle is
now pastor of the Presbyterian church at Douglas. A few weeks
ago it was discovered that the former trouble threatened the
boy and his parents immediately started for Phoenix but
because of the going out of the Gila bridge they were stopped
in Tucson. Word received only a few days ago gave hope that
the change was restoring the child and the improvement was so
marked that the father returned to Douglas leaving Mrs. Logle
and Stewart in Tucson until the bridge should be thoroughly
tested when they were to come here for treatment.
The Cameron Tragedy
September 5, 1902
The first official notice of the killing of William Cameron
by Josiah Anderson near Agua Caliente reached the office of
the sheriff yesterday morning, though the killing occurred
as long ago as last Sunday and the slayer has been in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Wills of Agua Caliente almost
ever since.
In reply to an inquiry by the sheriff, Deputy Sheriff
Williams of Gila Bend replied by telegraph yesterday
that Anderson had been held by the coroner's jury without
bail. In that case the coroner's jury has exceeded its
authority for only a justice of the peace can hold people
to the grand jury.
It is probably that a mistake was made and that the
coroner's jury recommended the holding of Anderson
though from what could be gathered from the telegram
the coroner's inquest had not been concluded. The
telegram did not state before whom the matter was
being heard and contained no particulars.
More on Cameron
September 8, 1902
Deputy Sheriff Williams of Gila Bend arrived in the city
yesterday morning with Josiah Anderson who had been held
to the grand jury for the killing of William Cameron.
Anderson's bond was fixed at $5000. Trouble had existed
between Cameron and Henry Wills over the illegal branding
of some cattle belonging to Wills by Cameron. The parties
were brought together by Anderson and after a long
conversation on the subject, Cameron believed that
Anderson was taking the part of Wills in the
controversy. A quarrel following and Anderson instead
of going back home with Cameron accepted an invitation
by Robert Leitch to go home with him. On their way they
overtook Cameron, who was waiting for them and the
quarrel was renewed.
OLIVER COLEMAN
September 24, 1902
News has just been received here of a disastrous fire at the
Fools Gulch mining camp, in the southern part of this
county. The buildings of the company were totally
destroyed and also the residence of Superintendent W.A.
Clark of the company. A nephew of the superintendent,
a nine year old boy was cremated in the house.
Superintendent Clark has been connected with these
properties many years and is one of the best known
mining men in the territory. No particulars have
been received of the fire. Nothing is known of its origin.
The Fire
September 25, 1902
A man who came down from Congress last night describes
the burning of Oliver Coleman, the nephew of
Superintendent W.A. Clark of the Planct-Saturn mine
at Fools Gulch on Wednesday. The buildings of the
mine were not burned, as was at first reported but
only the house of the superintendent. The little
boy was only five years old and was playing in the
house with several other children. When the blaze
was discovered the other children were rescued, but
the unfortunate little boy could not be found. The
charred remains were found in the bathroom, where
the child had sought refuge. The supposition is
that the children had been playing with matches.
The mother of the little boy is in Los Angeles, sick and
Mrs. Clark, his aunt is in the hospital at Prescott.
The child had been left alone with Mr. Clark, who is
almost crazed over the tragedy on account of which
mine the mill ahve been temporarily closed. The
financial loss caused by the fire is estimated at $4000.
Mollie Conrad
Horace B. Allen
April 16, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper
The latest tragedy to be enacted in Tucson was the
murder on Saturday morning about 1:30 o'clock of
Mollie Conrad by a gambler named Horace B. Allen,
who immediately thereafter committed suicide. The
two had been living together for some time and
according to their friends had of late quarrelled
frequently. Allen's chief grievance was that the
woman had formed the habit of going out at night
without his knowledge and against his wishes.
Sunday morning he entered the room shortly before
the shooting and had partially disrobed when he
sent three shots from a 45 caliber revolver into
the woman's heart then shot himself in the head.
There was also a bullet wound in one of his hands,
presumably made by one of the bullets that
penetrated the woman's body. Allen was about
36 years old and had been a gambler all his life.
He came to Arizona from Colorado where he had
participated in many bloody encounters and was
badly scarred from former wounds.
William Corlett
April 15, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper
William Corlett died early yesterday morning of
pneumonia at his residence No. 424 West Jefferson
Street after a short illness. He leaves a wife and
five children to mourn his death. The funeral
service will be held at the residence at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, Rev. C.V. Cowan officiating.
Mr. Corlett was one of the best known carpenters
and contractors in the city having followed that
business here for a great many years. He was 57
years old and a native of the Isle of Man. He came
to Phoenix when the future capital city had barely
begun to grow and probably few, if any, of the
resident carpenteres have helped in the construction
of more buildings in this city than has Mr. Corlett.
In the earlier days he was well known as an active
member of various societies and was quite prominent
among all social and church functions. He married
Miss Ada Wharton, who has a large number of family
connections in the valley and who in her bereavement
will receive the sympathy of all. Some time ago Mr.
Corlett went to La Cananea where he was engaged in
the line of his business, returning home quite ill
last Saturday morning. He was given the best of
attention but was not a strong man physically and
was unable to withstand the encroachments of that
terrible disease. He was a good citizen and
indulgent husband and father and a reliable and
trustworthy business man.
