A.T. VAIL
February 5, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper

The charred remains of A.T. Vail, a pioneer rancher, was 
found in the ruins of his house at Aravapai Canyon, eighty 
five miles from Tucson.  The supposition is that the house 
was burned down by Apache Indians who roam around in that 
section.

It is believed that the Indians killed Vail, looted the 
house and burned it.  The Indians are much dissatisfied 
on account of the government cutting off their rations.
