Wickenburg Massacre. Six miles from Wickenburg, AZ, mid-morning: fifteen Yavapai Apache warriors attack a stagecoach. Six men, including the driver, are shot and killed. The only (wounded) female passenger and one male traveler somehow manage to escape. Among the dead is 25-year-old Frederick Wadsworth Loring, a correspondent for Appleton’s Journal (Boston). Beyond the public outrage over the massacre, Loring’s murder will have grave consequences for the Yavapai. Photo: U.S. PD 1871 by unknown – taken about 48 hours before the massacre: Loring in his campaign costume with his mule, Evil Merodach. {001}

Everett Massacre, (aka: “Bloody Sunday“). Everett, WA: armed confrontation erupted between the local authorities, vigilantes (200) and members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). “The Wobblies” attempted to land two shiploads of protesters in support of the local shingle workers’ strike. A resulting gunfight between the ship (Verona) and the dock, along with the ensuing panic, killed at least five unionists and two deputies (by friendly fire). Many more were injured, including Snohomish County Sheriff Donald McRae. Eventually, all charges against union leaders and members were dropped. No vigilantes or lawmen were ever charged. {001}
