Cameron, who, on | the 4th of March last took his seat in the United States Senate as the junior senator from the sovereign state of Arizona. The life of this “tamer of bad men” is a most interesting one. | His career has not only been marked with daring deeds and romantic hap- penings, but it has furnished a lesson | in perseverance. | Some fifty years ago, in Southport, Me., a babe came into the world on that rock-ribbed coast, much to the delight of a wonderful mother and a sturdy fisherman father, who wrest- ed the family livelihodd from the briny deep. The early days of the senator’s life were spent along the shores of the Maine coast. Here he grew from babyhood into a sandy- haired, freckled-face, bluc-eved kid. Later he took to going out to with his father and his comrad large for his age, but because of plain and healthful food, proper hours of sieep and the invigorating breezes of the Maine shore, he soon llv\‘ulu]wrl[ into & small, but exceedingly wiry young man, and it was his father's fond boast that Ralph could do a man’s work in the course of the day's labor. The call of the sea palled, the call of the west was insistent, and | 80, in the spring of '82 he trekked to Arizona. TUpon his arrival there he sccured a job—not a position—in a gencral ‘merchandising store, of which, at a later date, he became owner. In those days vast fortunes were being made ! and sheep industry. The! being of Scotch anc try. coupled with having been born ‘down east.” had been thrifty, and it was not long before he was active engaged, in a smail way, in the cattle and sheep business, and, while he was successful in this enterprize. it proved to be of too tame a character and he He ap- C now but silent memories. saw the slight but athletic young man lead- ing his burros. but, as it is phrased in the west, “punching burros” in search of ground that might yield some of the precious metals. * K K K STORIANS, when they write the| real simon-pure history of this | country, will state that the state of Maine is a kindergarten and post- graduate school for politics, and young Cameron had carried with him | the germ of political activit His first local public office was that of being a member of the board of Supervisors, serving four years, two years as chairman of the board. Then ihere came a time when a “go-get- up-and-bring-'em-back” sheriff Was needed in Coconino county. Sheriffs in that part of the United ates had an officer of the law to unfinichingly take into custody @ cowboy who had sotten “likered up” and wag engaged fn the pleasant occupation of either shooting put the lights or knocking the tops off the bottles back of the bar. This period, onc must remem. ber. deals with the “bar-gone days. The sheriff had to be a man of the highest courage. He had to be a man who would, without sccond thought. throw on his “six-guns” swing into the saddle and go after and bring in, without painful recollections for sev cral days afterward. VING an effort to secure from him the story of some of his deeds while sheriff proved to be just as cessful as was Henry Ford's ISurope on the Oscar 11, and the % Senator suc- p to nly e A ive, the bad men who ex- |way it was possible to sccure the e O hot section!‘OF the countEyMlaiay. o o intervidw (frierdn Wi at that time. in the |knew him in theearlier days in Ari- as the visitor sjts of the € his eyes may ue-eyed. smooth-faced. | o 2 v @ yish haired, wiry ligght sandy and gfas ah 0TS Yt [a train robber. murderer and pody.

One minute before the train was due Cameron drove up with his prisoner. but the train was forty-five minutes late News of the capture had spread over the small town and he was obliged to stand on the platform with his prisoner until the train came in, facing a | crowd of about 200 Mexicans.

Upon their return they declared that they would not leave the disputed feeding ground until the next spring. Cameron had arranged that his deputies meet him and upon the Indians’ return he told the In- dians that on the sixth sun of the sixth day he would start to move them back to their reservation, and on that date he commenced to round up and force the Indians to return to |their own lines. They swore they ! would kill him if they ever found him lon their reservation.
