    logo_clarkdalehistoricalsocietyClarkdale AZ (November 26, 2014) – The Clarkdale Historical Society and Museum invites everyone to relive the day shots rang out on Main Street in Clarkdale. On an early spring morning in 1928, infamous criminals Willard Forrester and Earl Nelson attempted to rob the Clarkdale branch of the Bank of Arizona. The robbery was thwarted by several citizens, including Deputy Sheriff Jim Roberts, famous western lawman.

    Willard Forrester was shot and killed during the robbery attempt and his partner Edward Nelson was arrested. There were no other casualties except for the pocket watch of citizen Omar Twitty which was hit by a bullet, saving Mr. Twitty from grievous injury.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
