 a number o, travellers and pyoSpcctors wer
 known to have been murdered. and a s.ll
 larger uUmberatem miSSing,and were supp0S

 Ii represented state oj alarm on the par
 or the sClUers, and concluded hy asking
 that l would oau>c the country, on snC
 aboet the Chigicahua Reservation to b,
 secuted.
 This was on it's face a very fsiraud proper
 paper and ! treated il in good faith. l
 reached me on the 29,h. Lieut.. Henley.
 was at that time preparing for tho scout
 long delayed for pack animals. apamhoe>
 ,Ic., and informed them that 8 we'll Cquip
 ped scout had loft, or was about to leave ! also informed them that had iust recelvcU
 authority to enlist company oT Indian
 Scouts. and also gave nay reasons fer be
 ll,vng that tho Indians still out were very
 few iu number. l also informed them tha,
 scouting parties had been out and found no
 Indians. This communication was sent tu Governor Scfori, for the information of the SigucrS ot the petition. l of course conSid cred the points claimed iu the petition tu be eNacger1uons, but treated {, as it was en
 titled to be lrraied on its face. My reason
 for want ot faith in it at that time waS tha. every sisncr was a resident of Tucson, eN- ccpt nr. King. and could not possibly know
 as much aS knew about the situation, hay
 ing been present. at the removal and having the reports oi officers aud scouts to inform me. Al that tune keho and rodenw orth were tae only ones killed, and no stock had been lo~,.
 Subsequent information has satisfied me thag the petition was manufactured m Tue son. for Inc purpose ot forming basis ivI asking my removal from this command. Six weeks ahcr l receiVei copy of this papvr referred to me from the War pcpart mcnt accompanied hy a communication signed bv Dr. King. The petition and com munication were published in the Ari-ouo Cits-rn. ot November 4th. '76. This com municatiou has no importance vNcept in the light of subsequent events. It was dated August 2ith, and at that date iy was alreadN assumed that l would pay no attention to the Yctitiou which was nut received by mC un.il the 29,h. Whcl l rccci,ed these pa pers from the War Department. | referred them to lhc Governor. Wlih an endorsement asking him what author ~ pr King had rom the >ignCTS Co use Che VtiHlon ia the wly Ee had.
