 THE attention of citizens living inside the lines of the Fort whipple Military Reserve, is direct ed to an order published elsewhere in to-day's paper. In It they are notified that the places which they have rendered valuable by hard la bor. are needed by Government for grazing pur- 1 poses This information mus. be quite comfort .ng to ihem(0 The order came from Washing ton, and had to be oseyed by the officers here. The order does not say that settlers will be dis possessed. No. not in so many words, but, Of course, that Is to be the upshot, if Government persists in following up its course. Now, we say that if the settlers living upon the Fort Whippe Reservation are to be driven from their homes. they ought, at least, to be recompensed for their property as quickly as possible. Most of them are poor, and cannot afford to give the Federal Government their all. Then, again, Government does not need the land. We call upon the friends of right justice and fair deal ling in the National Congress to raise their voices in behalf of these poor settlers. Our Governor who win soon be at Washington City, knows the facts in .he case, and has promised to enlghten the Government regarding them and do all he can towards preventing the accomplishment o' the crime.
