People living in the Bumble Bee district were concerned when Thomas Glasgow, a 60-year-old prospector, missed some appointments.
“Glasgow…was arrested about two weeks [previous] on a charge filed by [Charles] Wagoner, who claimed [Glasgow] jumped his claims,” the Prescott Evening Courier explained. The case was dismissed, “but bad blood is said to have developed between the two men as a result.” Following the dismissal, Glasgow “told neighbors that if he ever was missing, to arrest Wagoner for murder.”
The sheriff’s office was called to investigate his disappearance. It was Christmas Day, 1925.
