Governors Proclamation

l OFkICE or THE GONEENOk. Whereas, 1t has been reported to me, on what I deem reliable authority, that on or about Fri day, the 22d day of May, A. D. 1885, five persons in the peaceful occupancy of their homes, on Blue river, in Graham county, Arizona, were foully murdered, their bodies mutilated and their homes plum dered, the perpetrators of the deed being, as Is alleged, band of Indians with whom the United States has amicable treaty rela- tions; and,
 Whereas, I deem Indians as amenable to the laws, as are white criminals.
 Now, therefore, I, H. NJ. Van Arman, Acting Governor of the Territory of Arizona, by the power in me invested, do hereby offer a reward of $200 each for the arrest and conviction of the persons who committed these depredations and murders.
 And should fatal consequences to the murderers attend their ar rest, identification and proof that they were the guilty parties will be sufficient to obtain payment of the above reward.
 This reward, however, will not be paid to persons in the military service of the United States; nor IS it intended to give permission to go upon any Indian reservation, nor to in any wise interfere with the military authorities of the United States in the discharge of their duties, but is only intended to take such steps as are usually taken by the Executive Authority of the Territory concerning crim inals.
 In testimony whereof
 I have hereunto affixed [SEAL. my name and caused
 the Great Seal of the
 Territory to be hereto
 affixed.
 Done at Prescott this 27th day of May, A. D. 1885.

BAD BUTTER.

An Obstreperous Billy Goat of Manches.
ter Comes to the City to Reside.
There has been 'rsmbunetious" billy
goat residing in Manchester for some time,
who eked out precarious living on such
things as he could pick up in the way OF
circus posters, &c. He is butter" from
way back, and has made things lively for
several people around the place on numer-
GUS occasions. Not long since he snesked
up behind woman and ihumped her so
hard that her teeth we're almost loosened,
whereupon she naturally became angry
and threatened vengeance upon the owners
of billy, but as that Individual seemed to
live an independent and unowned life she
succeeded not.
Billy, seeingthst be had the upper hand
of things and was looked upon as bully,
became too fresh by hall, and means OF
disposing Of his presence were locked into.
On Saturday evening this resulted success;
fully. He was ratified of at ten cents per
chance, the proprietor of well known
Market street saloon becoming the owner
of his gostship, rs he held the only two
tickets that were sold. The goat was
brought into town on Saturday
night gaily bedecked with small
flags and red, white and blue ribbons. Be.
hind him marched number OF well known
gentlemen, and the procession quietly pro,
ceeded to the saloon where in two neat
speeches (the proprietor had won him
twice. the buckiug billy was turned over
to his new master. The latter was 80 much
overcome with surprise and billy goat that
he could hardly give expression to his feel
irgs, bat in lieu thereof get EN- up all
around. The goat now boards in q livery
stable, and his future career cannot be
foretold, bat it is likely he will roam in
fields and pastures new shortly.

When the train arrived at st. Clsirsville
the members of the bar and other Wheel,
ing visitors were formed IN line and
marched to the Court House, where they
we're joined by the Belmont county bar,
and thence marched to the residence of
the deceased. After O short wait the
funeral procession was formed and the
body borne by the palLbearers of the Bel
moDia county bar, the Ohio county bar
heading the procession, marched slowly to
the church, viewed by hundreds Of specta-
tors from all points of vantage along the
line of march. The religious services
were very simple. The short eulogy pro-
nounced By the Rev. Robert Alexander
was a fitting tribute to the character and
good works Of the deceased. The church
was filed with people.
After the services were concluded, the
audience were permitted 10 view the re-
mains. Six psll-besrers, from the Ohio

The body was discovered to be that of
Vim. Huey, o tesmster, residing at 1925
Jacob street, and the circumstances are, as
near as can be sscertsined. about ss fol.
lows: Huey had been drinking rather
heavily the night before aud left the Viola

back door. Shortly afterwards the propri-
etor saw him sitting on the tongue OF a

lead from the back yard to the edge Of the
track From bruises on his face it is evil

track, where he lay and went to sleep
This is q mere circumstsntisl superstition,

run over f2t is not known, but it was no
doubt an outgoing train, as the body was
dragged about ten yards eastward. The lett
leg was cut offst the ankle. The lett arm was
also cut off aud the night badly msugled
The trunk was literally ground up, and en-
trails, pieces of bone aud clothes were scat
tered along the whole ten yards in sicken'
ing urofusion. The face and head we're
not injured, with the exception Of the
sIigbs bruises spoken of and little hole
back of the left ear.
Coroner Schultze telephoned to Mendel

the remains placed therein and taken to
his home. Mr.. Huey was about ffty-foar
years of age and served three yesrs during

GINA Infantry. When dismissed at the
end OF his term, he went home and en-
listed in the Eleventh Pennsylvania Regl-
meut, where he served from September 6,
1864, TO May 6, 1865.
The unfortunate man leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his untimely
demise, who have the sincere sympathy OF
a large circle of friends. Huey's only fail
ing was drink, but his family is highly re-
spected by all their acqusiutsnces.
