Arizona citizen., 1871-11-25
Pedro PinO. &c.

Kenyon Station about one week ago.
 It will be remembered that he was
 the chief of the murderiDg band
 which killed the inmates of and sacked
 Mission Camp last December, and
 who stole about 100 head of cattle on
 the Gila and was overtakan and nearly
 captured by John Rogers, last Sep
 tember near Sacaton. A gentleman
 living on the Gila, who is summoned
 as juror in the United States court
 to convene in Tucson on th 4th prox-
 imo writes the Deputy Marshal, that
 he cannot respond to the call because
 of the presence of Pino; says his
 hired man refuses to remain, if he
 leaves; that his wife dare not stay
 alone; and that if he is compelled to
 attend the court, he will do so at a
 loss equivalent to closing out his
 business.
 Now, readers abroad as well as here,
 please note @ few facts. The Apache
 Indians have for years and are still so
 hostile, that no prudent citizen land no military oficer), ever ventures in daylight above a few miles beyond the limits of this city unaccompanied
 by number of armed men; and in- deed so many citizens were killed and so much property stolen in and near this vicinity, that the patient endur- ance of few of the people reached its limit last Spring, and in sheer self defense and exasperation, they sallied forth and in the only way Indians kill or can be killed, they sent a number to the happy hunting grounds" Had the Indians killed have been so many thieving or murdering whites in almost any portion of the civilized world, the popular verdict would have promptly been "amen." In the case here, the supposed participants have been indicted and arraigned for murder. A man resident near where the stage was attacked and mails destroyed the present year, and most likely by the Indians killed in the instance cited, is to appear as a trill juror in the Case. He finds his home sur rounded by bandits from Mexico and his road to the court one at any hour liable to be crossed by Apache savages. The men-supposing they are the ones who did the deed-he is called upon % try, like himself, found themselves neither safe at home nor on the high way, and likewise their property they knew the prowling criminals; the of icers of the law knew but failed to punish them or compel @ stoppage of heir crimes no law seemed availa ble put the great first law of nature, and Or its exercise, 1t seems necessary to all upon one or more men to try hem for murder, who because of in adequate security to person and prop erty, dare not leave his or their homes o do the work. It seems like aggra- 7ated cruelty to have men even sub ected to a trial with an acquittal 1nder such circumstances.
 It is surely indicative of bad news rom the Gila to hear of this desperate lssassin-Pino-being down there at arge. And yet with his known bad character, and the recent and pending where is the man bold 1 'nough to kill Pino? He could look fairly for nothing but disgrace, perse- ,ution and probably death for the humane service of ridding the earth of such vile monster. In Gods name, let us have peace for the good IS well as for the bad men, and let our own people see to 1t that their pro- 'ectOrs be protected.
