Whereas, 1t has been made 10 appear
satisfactory to Ine by information received
FRONT the governor of the territory of Ari-
zons, and from the general of the army of

sources, that 10 consequence of unlawful
combinations Of evil disposed persons who
are banded together to oppose and OF

impracticable to enforce them by ordinary
course Of Judicial proceedings, and that |
laws of the United States have been |
therein forcibly opposed, and execution
thereof forcibly resisted, and,
Whereas, Laws of the United States re-
quire, wherever it may be necessary IN !
judgment of the president to use military |
forces for the purpose of enforcing faith
full execution of the laws Of the United
States, he shail forthwith, by proclamation,
command such insurgents to disperse and
retire peaceably to their respective abodes
within limited time;
Now, therefore, l Chester A. Arthur,
president of the United States, do hereby
admonish all good citizens of the United
States and especially In the territory Of

abetting or taking part i'll any such unlaw-
full proceedings, and do hereby warn all |
persons engaged III or connected with
said obstruction of laws to disperse and
retire peaceabiy to their respective abodes
on or before noon of the 10Th day of May.
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
