The Brazelton Robbery
The Brazelton Robbery

Arizona The Youngest State

McClintock, 1913, page 473

 


In July 1883, on a road to the northwest of Tucson there 

were a couple of stage robberies, something not uncommon 

in the least in that locality; but added interest was given  

from the fact that in the second robbery, the highwayman had 

pretended to lead a considerable number of other, unseen 

bandits, and from behind a clump of sage brush had 

protruded the muzzle of a shot gun.  The passengers were 

rather irritated when it was found that the robber was 

alone, a fact demonstrated by none other than the famous 

Pete Kitchen who with some Papago trailers, tracked the 

robber about thirty miles into the Santa Cruz Valley, 

south of Tucson where the trail had to be abandoned.  

Soon thereafter into town came a health seeker, who had a 

milk ranch four miles from Tucson with a tale that he was 

harboring in his house a desperado who had threatened him 

with death if he failed to return that night with 

provisions and ammunition.  The rendezvous was kept 

in the mesquite thicket, where also was Sheriff Charles 

Shibell with a posse and in the resultant melee the 

robber was killed.  He proved to be Jim Brazleton, 

who had been employed in the livery stable of R.N. 

Leatherwood, next to the courthouse in Tucson and 

there was later evidence that the same man, within 

nine months, had robbed seven mail coaches around 

Albuquerque from which point he had come.
