FAMOUS ARIZONA
INDIAN FIGHTER
HAS PASSED ON
SELIGMAX, Ariz. — A romantic
figure of Arizona’s pioneer days has
just passed in the person of Com
modore Perry • Owens, cattleman,
sure shot, dashing Indian fighter and
fearless sheriff, who died here.
With his long, waving hair fall
ing over his shoulders, his pleasing
personality and dignified carriage,
Commodore Owens carved a spec
tacular career on Arizona’s tablets
of history between his arrival in
the state in 1882 and his death.
Owens was bom in Indiana 63
years ago and came to Arizona via
Texas and New Mexico in 1882,
to become range foreman of a cat
tle company at X'avajo Springs.
In a single-handed battle with
three Navajo Indians who were
stealing the company’s cattle, Ow
ens killed the trio. Then followed
numerous clashes with the red raid
ers, many of whom fell before his
deadly rifle. In time the Indians
came to believe he bore a charmed
life and gave him a wide berth,
since, despite his frequent battles
with them, he did not receive a sin
gle wound.
In 1885, when outlaws throughout
Apache county were defying the law,
Owens was elected sheriff, and,
backed by Judge Robert E. Mor
rison. now of Prescott, he obtained
indictments against 16 of the most
notorious thieves and murderers.
While the grand jury was report
ing the true bills, a dozen of the j
outlaws fled the county rather than
face the new sheriff. The latter
tracked three of the remainder to ■
the Blue river and there, when they
were resisting arrest, they fell be
fore the guns of Sheriff Owens and
his posse. A fourth member of the
gang, Finn Clanton, was trapped,
captured, and sentenced to seme 10
years in prison.
Perhaps Owens’ most spectacular
battle was one fought at Holbrook,
where the sheriff killed Andy Coop
er. a notorious bad man, and two
companions. Owens had been told
that the trio had taken refuge in
a house near the railroad tracks. !
He rode down the street to the!
building, walked up to the door and
rapped for admission, with his rifle
held in his right hand at his hip. i
Cooper opened the door and at
tempted to draw his revolver, but
the sheriff fired from the hip, and I
Cooper fell badly wounded. At the 1
same moment another shot rang out j
from behind, from the gun of one .
of Cooper’s companions, the bullet;
barely missed the sheriff’s head. With ;

Owens threw his rifle over his shoul
der and fired. The outlaw dropped
mortally hurt.
Then the third desperado made
his appearance, running around the
corner of the house with his revolver
raised to fire, but before he could
pull the trigger, Owens shot and
the last of the gang died in his
tracks.
As the officer retreated a few
steps he saw a man through the
window, maneuvering for a shot, and
again the sheriff's rifle spoke. The
outlaw inside fell to the floor and
died within a few minutes. It was
Cooper, who had been shot when ha
opened the door.
Owens served but one term as
sheriff of Apache county, but it
was said that at the end of his
• tenure of office every outlaw in
the county had been driven out.

For a short while the ex-sherilf

later he entered business on his
