been published in full and contains the clause in
reference to Sarah Althea Hill, whose claim to
be Mr.. Sharon's wife was recently decided by the

Yates, who is under Indictment for embezzle-

Against Raiding Apaches.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-Governor Zulick, of
Arizona, has telegraphed to the Secretary of the
Interior, calling attention to an erroneous inn
preston that the purpose for which the troops
have been recently ordered from San Francisco
is merely to protect the Indians from threatened
attacks by the lawless white element. Governor
Zulick says that his appeal to the government
for troops for the protection of the lives and
property Of Arizonians from the attacks of
marauders and thieving renegade Apaches. mo
people on EARTH he adds. ''have exhibited
a higher sense of iaw-abiding qualities than
Arizonians have shown under their terrible af-
Fiction of the past eight months" He remarks
that his proclamation, last week, warning all
evil disposed persons that the powers of the fed
eral and Territorial governments would be
evoked to preserve the rights Of all persons
within the borders of Arizona, was directed
against infammatory publications in the Terri
torial newspapers, and says: 1t has had its eff
feet, for the entire press in the Territory is now
arrayed upon the side of law and order" He
assures the Secretary that he will see that the
San Carlos reservation and the rights of peace
ful Indians are protected, and. in con-
clusion, he asks the Secretary for an au
thoritative statement to dispel the erroneous
impression as to the purpose of his appeal for
troops. In reply, acting Secretary Muldrow to-
day telegraphed to the Governor that the In
terror Department has received no dispatch from
him suggesting need for troops to protect the
Indians the San Carlos reservation, and that
no action has been taken by the government to
concentrate troops in that vicinity for the pur-
pose indicated. Mr.. Muldrow adds: 1.-The pur-
pose of the government has been and is to pro-
tect all persons in Arizona in the peaceful en-
joyment of their rights and property, punish
law breakers, suppress outlaws and maintain
peace within that Territory"
