The hillsides were thick with the vegetation that sprang from the winter’s rains and the spring’s wild grasses grew tall amongst the prickly pear cacti. As far as the eye could see the once green lushness of wild grass had become an ever-present lifeless brown. The drovers that were rounding up the cattle near the Abbott Ranch just east of Tombstone were working their way through the wild mesquite and prickly scrub brush as they noticed in the distance rocks falling and dust rising on the western side of the valley. Not more than a few seconds later the scene was repeated on the eastern side of this property. The ground began to heave and the parched earth opened up in every direction. In one place far up the mountainside, a stream of pure water 10 inches in diameter began belching forth producing a lake a mile wide. And water came bubbling from the hillsides THE EARTHMOVER!! that had never before even been damp. A subdued roaring sound made its way across the plains comparable to an approaching wind or wagons rumbling in the distance.

As homesteaders, hunters, miners and cattle ranchers flooded onto the Plains, they not only came into conflict with the Plains Indians who already lived there, but also with each other. This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

Although I served on the L.A.P.D. for three decades under five chiefs, it was Chief Gates under whom I served the longest. He arguably guided the department through the most difficult and revolutionary times it has ever experienced. He was the father of the SWAT concept and made the LAPD a model for police agencies throughout the world. From a department armed with revolvers and straight stick batons, Chief Gates saw it through pioneering concepts such as the introduction of the semi-automatic pistol, less lethal devices, crisis negotiation intervention, the computerization of policing techniques along with many other firsts in law enforcement.

  • The Bird Cage Theatre Story
    THE BIRD CAGE THEATRE STORY The world famous Bird Cage Theatre, also referred to as The Bird Cage Opera House Saloon. This was a fancy way in the 1880's of describing a combination saloon, gambling hall and a house of ill repute. Well, that was the Bird Cage Theatre and it was known across America by its unreputable reputation. In 1882, the New York Times referred to the Bird Cage as, "the Roughest, Bawdiest, and most Wicked night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast. For nine years it never closed its doors, operating 24 hours a day. During this period, 16 gun and knife fights took some 26 lives. There are still 140 bullet holes through-out the building, marking the ceilings, walls, and floors. Many famous happenings occurred in the barroom, which is indicated by the many bullet holes, but one of the most outstanding occurrences was the brutal killing of the lovely lady of the evening, Margarita. She was sitting on the lap of gambler Billy Milgreen when suddenly Billy's regular girl, another Bird Cage trollop by the name of Gold Dollar, entered the room holding a double edged stiletto. In a fit of fury, Gold Dollar proceeded to cut Margarita's heart out. She almost had the job done when she heard that the Marshall was coming. She then ran through the Bird Cage and out the back door, covered in blood. No murder charges were filed for lack of the murder weapon which she mysteriously disposed of as she fled the back of the Bird Cage.
