Asking for Arms and Ammunition.
TOMBSTONE, Arizona, Sept. 10.-The
following telegram was received here
today, by acting Governor Casper:
Wilcox, Sept. 8. Application has
been made to me for arms, to be sent
from Penicia, Arizona, at once, to Fort
Lowell, Bowie, Grant, Mcdowell and
Wilcox, Station, for sale to settlers. The
war so far has been confined to the
smallest possible limits, but hope adj
vantage will be taken of the emergency
by the civil authorities to place the
Territory in state Of self-defense, and
I advise the organization of minute
men and military companies everywhere
that may be called when needed. The
arms question is not in my hand, and re-
fer to the few at the posts. The officers
are particularly responsible, and most
of the officers are now absent in the
field. The secretary of war and ordi-
nance department control thousands of
arms and millions of cartridges lying
idle In the arsenal, obtainable, however,
only under the laws of Congress.
