Most of this collection consists of material from the period shortly before and after his death on April 5, 1908: his daily diary from 1907, letters to Kidder, his letters to his mother and letters of condolence to his mother following his death. The collection also includes his enlistment and discharge papers from the Rangers, “Wanted” posters from 1907, newspaper clippings from the time of his shooting and several newspaper and magazine articles retelling the legend of the shooting of Sgt. Kidder. One box, .5 linear foot BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Jefferson Parish Kidder, Arizona Ranger, was born in Vermilion, South Dakota, on November 5,1875. He was named after his grandfather who was a judge and an active politician in Vermont, Minnesota and the Dakotas. Jeff graduated from high school in Vermilion and then headed West. About the same time his parents moved to San Jacinto, California. After a time in Montana, Jeff ended up in Bisbee where he was associated with the Arizona Copper Company. He enlisted in the Arizona Rangers in April of 1903. Most of his time with the Rangers was spent patrolling the Arizona/Mexico border where he had the reputation of being “Hell on smugglers.” Kidder was also reported to be a very quick hand with a six-shooter.

Tombstone Epitpah - December 15, 1927 “Oh! Oh! What a Night ‘Twas Says A. H. Gardner, Tombstone, Ariz. That Night Before Christmas “The evening’s entertainment began with a knockout. Johnny Walker – John W. Walker, you understand, then federal court reporter and fresh from Chicago – and I were just about putting the finishing touches to a roast mallard duck supper at the old Kreuder Café on Allen Street when Kreuder met one of his customers at the cashier’s counter and laid him cold with an uppercut that would have at that time done credit to even hard hitting bog Fitzsimmons. There were no frills to the affair. Kreuder just waited until his man came down the aisle, gave one glance at the check he handed to the cashier, and then applied a clenched fist to the point of his customer’s jaw. All was over but the shouting. “The proceedings struck me as not only being odd but as being carried out in a rather cold-blooded, businesslike manner. Being just from New York City, one might think that such an occurrence would have little effect on me. But I had never seen anything in which Kreuder laid low the man which 5 his establishment had just feasted. “Oh, yes! I did forget to tell you why Kreuder took a punch at his customer. It was this way. “I supposed the customer got some peculiar notion that a 50 per cent discount should be made on all T-bone steak dinners which he ate at Kreuder’s for every time a check for 50 cents was handed to him, he erased the ‘0,’ put a ‘2’ in front of the ‘5’ and then put the ‘cents’ mark – ‘c’ – after the ‘25.’ It seemed that the cashier became suspicious, told Kreuder CORNER OF 5TH & ALLEN STREETS about it, and according to the customs of old Tombstone of a quarter-century ago, the customer ‘had it coming to him.’ Forthwith Kreuder was duly bound to see that ‘it’ arrived in true western style.

  • A Look Back at the History of the Arizona Department of Public Safety
    50 YEARS OF VIGILANCE A LOOK BACK AT THE HISTORY OF THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY (602) 223-2000 | azdps.gov 2102 West Encanto Boulevard Phoenix, AZ 85009 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION 3 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR You are about to embark on a journey through history. Take a ride with us, “Down the Highways”, as we celebrate 50 years of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The Digest, an internal publication of AZDPS, has been in circulation for over 60 years, highlighting stories of employees and the Department. The following stories are excerpts directly taken from a Digest publication in that respective year with some years omitted. Over the last 50 years, there have been many agency changing events but there have also been lull years, which is common for any large organizations, especially governmental. Creative Services Unit 4 VANTAGE POINT COL. FRANK MILSTEAD We, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, are made of history and, today, we are the makers of history. It is an indescribable feeling of honor being the director of the Department during its 50th anniversary. This is an incredible, venerable organization with a storied past. A past full of highs and lows, miracles and tragedies, excitement and lulls. Many changes have occurred in the last four years of my administration and in the Department’s 50 years, but one thing that has not changed is the amazing personnel that make up AZDPS - past, present, and future. Life is funny and unpredictable. In 1988, a time capsule was buried under the flagpoles of the Headquarters Building in Phoenix with an unearthing scheduled in 2019.

  • A Comprehensive History of the West Virginia State Police, 1919-1979 By
    A Comprehensive History of the West Virginia State Police, 1919-1979 by Merle T. Cole (Copyright, Merle T. Cole, 1998) Among state police departments [the West Virginia State Police] may, with its long and arduous experience, be regarded as a battle scarred veteran. It helped develop a new era of policing in the United States. Only three surviving departments preceded it. None faced greater obstacles. None have contributed more to the safety and well-being of the citizens whose lives and property it protects or to the strength and development of democracy within a state.--Col. H. Clare Hess, Superintendent, Department of Public Safety (West Virginia State Police) Twelfth Biennial Report (1940- 1942) NEW INTRODUCTION (1998) This is a minor rewrite of my original monograph, "Sixty Years of Service: A History of the West Virginia State Police, 1919-1979" (Copyright, 1979). I want to thank Sergeant Ric Robinson, Director of Media Relations, West Virginia State Police, for his support in the electronic publication of this study. -Merle T. Cole ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION (1979) This is a history of the origins and development of the West Virginia State Police (WVSP), the fourth oldest state police agency in America, now entering its 60th year of public service. My interest in the WVSP reached an early peak while I was a political science student at Marshall University. At the time, I could only manage to produce a limited study in the form of a term paper. Time and opportunity being more abundant recently, I have been able to complete a long-felt desire by producing this monograph.

  • Tombstone by Tombstone
    Tombstone by Tombstone William Anthony “Billy” Old When the Arizona Rangers were active, the Rangers came from a lot of different places. There were 107 Rangers over the nine years of the program. Forty-four of those, or just slightly over 41%, were from Texas. I am not certain how many of those 44 were for- mer Texas Rangers, but William A. “Billy” Old is unique as the only one who served in all three of the Southwest’s territorial police forces, having served for a time with the New Mexico State Police. Billy was born in 1870 to a young couple in Morris County, Texas. He had a brother, Augustus “Augie” Old, who was four years younger. Billy worked as a cowboy until he was 27 years old. In 1898, he decided to join Augie who had been a Texas Ranger since 1896. Both brothers were a member of Company E, commanded by Captain John H. Rogers, known as one of the great four captains in the Rangers. After serving three enlistments with the company, the Texas Legislature mandated a reduction of company size from twelve to eight and Billy was released. Billy relocated to Arizona where the brand new Arizona Rangers were organized and patterned after the Texas Rangers. But the Arizona Legislature had authorized thirteen Rangers. Billy took a job as a cowboy and waited for his opportunity. That opportunity came in 1903 when the legislature doubled the Ranger size. It was August of 1904 before he was able to pin on the badge. In December of 1904, Billy and his partner “Chapo” Beaty captured and jailed the notorious rustler Antonio Nunez who swore he would never be taken alive.

BRAYER 'IN THE FIRST decade of the twentieth century, the year 1906 was an eventful one. The "trust-busting, big-stick" campaign of President Theodore Roosevelt was meeting with stern opposition from practically the same elements, which another Roosevelt, thirty years later, was to label "economic royalists." The nation was shocked by the Standard Oil scandals, the Railroad rebate revelations, and the "yellow­ journal" accounts of Jewish persecutions in Russia. Amidst these exposes a new current of horror swept the country as a young "muckraker," Upton Sinclair, tore the veil from Chicago's powerful packing industry, with his vivid descrip­ tions in ,a book entitled, "The Jungle." Congress, under the , 'domination of Speaker Joe Cannon, after a month of acri­ ,monious debate, passed ,the Arizona-New Mexico and Okla­ homa statehood bills, the first two territories being given the dubious opportunity of entering the union as a single i, , commonwealth. From California came the year's greatest disaster, when, on April 18th earthquake and fire spread ruin in San Francisco.

  • Mexican Mine and Metal Workers: an Independent Union for Ciudad Acuña Workers by Leslie Cunningham
    Mexican Mine and Metal Workers: An independent union for Ciudad Acuña workers By Leslie Cunningham In 1906, four years before the official start of the Mexican Revolution, workers at the huge copper mine of Cananea (in Sonora just south of Arizona) engaged in an epic struggle against the bosses of the Rockefeller-owned mine over wages and working conditions. At that time, workers moved freely back and forth across the border to work in mines in both Arizona and Mexico. So did the bosses' agents-- including the Arizona Rangers, who were called out to shoot down striking Mexican workers. Leslie Cunningham The first image that comes to mind about the Mexican Revolution may be of campesinos and the iconic figures of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Za- pata. But the Mexican working class was a powerful force, also; many consider Cananea to have been the first shot of the Revolution. The revolutionary Constitution of 1917 enshrined the right to strike and other workers' rights that were the basis of the Federal Labor Law which the Comité Fronterizo de Obrer@s (CFO) uses to educate work- ers. Today's Cananea miners are the mainstay of the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers of the Mexican Republic (Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores Mineros, Metalúrgicos y Similares de la República Mexicana or SNTMMSRM). Known as Los Mineros, this is the union that workers in the former Alcoa maquiladoras of Ciudad Acuña have chosen to affiliate with. The largest labor federation in Mexico is the Confederación de Tra- bajadores de México--the CTM. Over the years it has come under the control of the government and the companies, and its member unions are known as "charro" unions (corrupt unions with leaders who follow government policy and use violence against their opponents).
