APACHES MUST GO.
The darauding Apsches Knocked Out Of the Territory In Two Res
 OlutiOns.
VOLUNTEER COMPANY ORGANIZING
! The Sentiment Of an Outraged People that
 shail be Heard and s ust be Respected.

! The mass meeting Of the people ol
 Tucson, called by the society of Arizona
 Pioneer to formulate an expression ot
 public sentiment on the Indian question,
 was held on Saturday night and was at.
 tended by large body of earnest and
 determined people.
 Just as the olock struck eight, Mayor
 Rayfeld stepped to the platform and
 called the meeting to order. He stated
 the object of tle gathering, and as the
 meeting required chairman he nomi-
 mated Judge John Haynes, who was
 unanimously elected. Judge Haynes
 said he would not attempt to entertain
 the meeting with any remarks; that all
 felt deep interest in the question, but
 others n neighbOTing counties to the
 east felt a still deeper interest; here in | Tucson, our people are not in immedi-
 ate danger. but with others this Is not
 the case, for their lives and property are
 being destroyed, and male desolate
 through these recurring raids of the l Apaches, and there can be no peace and
 security SO long as they remain with US. ] He then suggested that a secretary of
 the meeting was a necessity, whersupon | Charley Shibell nominated Joe Sessions
 and that gentleman was accordingly
 elected.
 Mir. Strauss thought the mayor had
 not exactly stated the object of the meeting; that 1t was not simply to rat lfy the action of the Pioneers, but If be understood It correctly. tO consider the action of the Pioneers and to take such other action as mI- ht be deemed proper. Mr. POmroy thought the call by the Pioneers should first be read.
 The chairman thought such a course the proper thing. Some others present might have been absent. as he had been, and dii not fully understand the matter.
 The secretary then read the resolu- lions, aud had proceeded about half way through them when Mir. Strauss said that Was not the call for the meeting. and they were not pertinent to the action of this meeting. The secretary there fore read the simple call for the mass meeting.
 II S. Stevens said he thought there | was nothing In those resolutions that | ougnt not tO be heard by this meeting, | and the Pioneers would like to have | them read Tn full.
 The secretary then read the full res- oiutIonS, heretofore published, as adopt ei 3y the Pioneers.
 h order to bring the meeting to bds- mess, l.. C. Hughes introduced seJ of resolutions, winch he sad he had hasti- y drawn u2, and would require some He afterwards explained | their purpIrt and thought the adoption uf such resolutions would have a tenden- cy tO cause the administration to look into the Indian matters of Arizona.
 II ; Stevens said the resolutions referred to the San Carlos reservation; he thought they should include also the White M uptain reservation.
 l. C Hughes askrd with some aston ishmrnt, II there was not onls one res erv ttIon.
 The chairman said there was only the White Mountain reservation; that portion of It was often called the San Csr.Os firm the fact that the agency Was at San Carlos.
 Mr. Stevens thought the resolution would be misleading, for the Indians called tue San Carlos Indians were not nn thr warpath, but were peaceable and rOntruted on the reservation, and only th- ; 4n CarlOf Apaches were out.
 The chaIrman Id that only the Chir- clhua ADa,hes were on the warpath, and that they had been under military control near Fort Apache. But before proceeding further he would ask the sec -etaTy to read telegram just received rom Governor Tritle, addressed to the Pioneers.
 The telegram WAS as follows:
 PRESCOTT, A. T.. June 13. W n. J. Osborn, Secretary Society Ari-
 zoua Plon5ers:
 Copy of resolutions received | am n complete sympathy with any move men which W II result in permanent relief from Indian barbaritIes in this territory, whether by steps to secure their removal or otherwise. l hope the experience and intelligence of your or may suggest the proper so- luton of the Indian question in ArIzona.
 F. 4. 1RITLR, Governor.
 The reading of this telegram was re- ,eiyed with hearty applause.
 II. 5 Stevens then asked leave to ex- Dlaln some actions of the Pioneers not -Xpressed m those resolutions. They bad discussed the matters freely and fully md no one had entered into this movement through selfish motives. Lt had been stated that some were through selfish motives. but hIs was branded as a lie and in this matter he thought very much as Gen. Pope did. that such reports arose Tn the ! of a lot of irresponsible , .cribblers, who put such things ID the Jews. apers. He told how impossible { was Co mix politics with the action ot he Pioneers, as lt would lead to the im- mediate expulsion of the offending ,arty. He then spoke on the reso- i uilons.
 Judge W. ". Lowell thought the reso- uti1us offered by Mir. Hughes fell short ! 4 thy. sentiments and intention of the ,epple. They would not give present chef While the slow course proposed YRS beng taken. our friends are daily ,ring murdered. He thought they ought ] Q be stronger There Is something , ur' her that humanity dem8nds-action ID the border and on the line. (Applausel Mir. Pomroy thought the most that 6 an be done was to formulate the senti- 6 lsnts of this community, and it ought | Q be a solemn matter as can be done ( uly by resolutions. He moved that a Igghes' resolutions be referred to a C of five. c
 Mr. ;. Ainss thought every one in I lv0T Of the resolutions, so far as they 70. That committee should be instruct g Il to embrace clause that all the h. t ians sho1ld be removed and the reser- T atIon obliterated. The scouts of Crook $ Hd been conuivers with the hostiles q Id misleadcrs of the troops. The roops might come across the hostIles if r hey were not misled by the scouts. He ( ad iniisputable evidence that the Il ,outs furnished the hostiles with gov I'D nment ammunition. The whole scout s olicy was wrong. The Indians would s ot lead the troops to kill their '' tends and relatives. The Indian has f' part of his religion tn murder the hite man, and he cannot marry until il @ has worn tine feather in his scalp de- ti o,ing that be has killed at least one q n T e h.. N.4
