Cowboy who Shot Key-hole out of Lock is Candidate.
"Homer (Red) Cochran, formerly a deputy under Sheriff Rye Miles, has tossed his wide-brimmed sombrero into the political arena and announces his candidacy for constable. As Chochran is a Democrat, the fight during the Democratic primaries will be a three-cornered affair, Fred (Kid) Wilding and Louis V. Russell, both Democrats, having previously announced for the job.
Cochran for the past six years has been ranch manager for Tom M. Peters, proprietor of the Baboquivari Ranch, and severed his connection with Mr. Peters about a year ago, when the latter entered a partnership with Clant Onley and purchased a ranch at Clifton. Cochran was a cattle inspector here (Tucson) in 1919 under Ben McKinney.
Before coming to Arizona from his native Texas several years ago, "Red" was a deputy sheriff in Brewster County, Texas, for six years and a constable in Marathon, Tex.
Cochran, who presents a picturesque type of Western cowman, was recently thrust into the limelight as the result of shooting a padlock from the gate of the Santa Margarita Ranch. The lock had been placed on the gate of the Ronstadt pasture by order of J. M. Ronstadt, who desired to divert traffic from a public road that had been in use for many years. Cochran, upon finding his way to the upper ranch of Peters, shattered the lock with a 30-30 rifle. He was exhonerated by a jury in justice court. (From the "Tucson Daily Citizen," 6 July 1928)
Cochran Killed as Auto Skids; Peace Officer and Cattleman dies en route to City after Crash.
"Charles "Red" Cochran, peace officer and cattleman, was killed shortly before sundown yesterday evening when the car which he was driving turned over 15 miles west of Benson. Cochran who was well known in southern Arizona was manager of the Thompson ranch at Mescal station.....
Deputy Fred Arnold was sent out to investigate the affair and Deputy Ora Shinn was sent to notify his wife who lives near the Mayse airport south of the city.
Cochran, who was 46 years of age was a native of Texas. He came to Arizona many years ago ... He came to Pima county from Graham county where he had been a ranchman, a profession which he has followed all his life.
When he first came to Tucson, he served as cattle inspector in the period when Rye Miles was sheriff. Later he was jailor for a time, and still later he was foreman of the ranch belonging to Tom Peters until it was sold.
After leaving that position Cochran became a candidate for constable in the last general election but lost out in the primaries...." (From the "Arizona Daily Star", 24 June 1930)
