The Murder Of 4. w. Beach.

About ten minutes past 7 O'Clock last
evening, as Charles w. Beach was sitting
in his room in Mrs. Taylor's residence
and lodging house, West Prescott, writ
ing letter TO his young son, who Is in
Los Angeles, Cal, with his mother, some
person emptied the contents Of the barrel
Of a shot gun through the window. The
greatest portion of the shot struck Mr..
BEACH under and in the left eye, knock.
ing him over and killing him almost in
stantly.
We have heard that the landlady, Mira.
Taylor, had been in the room bu. short
time previous, attending to the lamp, or
something. len Hale, who resides on
the opposite side OF the street from the
Taylor mansion, heard the report, and
was, we learned, the first man to enter
the room. He found Beach lying on the
floor, with the last breath leaving his
body.
Several persons say they saw the man
who did the shooting. but as it was dark,
they disclaim having any knowledge as
to who he was.
Chief Of Police Dodson, Mr.. Shekles
and DR.. Day were among the first to
reach the house He was dead before
they arrived. An inquest was held.
The dead man has property in Kirk
land Valley and other places in the
county, and we hope it viii be well taken
care Of for tho family.
Mrs. Beach was notified Of the killing
by telegraph.
&C. w. Beach was born in Connecticut
about fifty years ago learned the printing
business at Watertown, New York,
crossed the plains when boy to New
Mexico; came to Arizona in 1864, en-
gagged in teaming; afterward in printing,
publishing and stock raising. Like al
most all men, he had faults; he had, too,
great many good traits Of character.
No matter what his bad acts were, every
brave, honorable man win condemn the
eowartlly manner in which he was killed.

The position OF Governor Wolfiey at
the present time is not a pleasant one,
and the newspapers are keeping him in
hot water all the time. The Governor
has been conhdentially advised by all the
leading politicians OF both parties, and
all desire that he act upon the advice 50
willingly and gratuitously furnished
That he has not done 20 Is evidenced by
the numerous attacks upon him. The
situation Of Territorial affairs places Gov.
ernor Wolfiey in very trying position,
and the MSER believes that he is using
his best endeavors to honestly and faith

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The Reported Threatened Out
break of the Waliapais q
GrOuaSsless Ganarsi.


For the past ten days sensational re-
ports that the plallapais were on the eve
OF an outbreak have been circulated
throughout the county. Many Of the
stories we're deliberately manufacted, and
were intended only to frighten the tinsid
ones, and the result was successful, and a
good sized scare was thus worked up by
the thoughtless cireulators Of the stories.
The various bands Of Waliapais are
holding dance and pow WOW at Grass
Springs, seventY-fiye miles northeast Of
Kingman, and the various bands were
ordered to assemble there last week.
Portions of the bands did not attend and
the absentees were sent for by the nledi-
cine men, who demanded their attend
ance Immediately under penalty Of death
from a shower Of hailstones which the
medicine men would cause 10 fall on
them. The Indians who had refused TO
20 on receiving this summons left inlme-
diately. The sudden disappearance Of
tho Indians from their usual haunts
alarmed the whites in the vicinity Of
blackberry and Peach Springs, and they
instantly came TO the conclusion that
they intended going on the war path and
took steps 10 defend themselves. On
learning the cause Of the Wallapais''
movements all fears were allayed, and no
fear Of any trouble is now thought Of.
The bands OF Leve Leye and WalIapai
Charley, who have their camps about
this place, refuse to take part in the
dance, and they are awaiting the ftilfll-
ment Of the medicine mems prophecy Of
the hailstorm which win kill alike the
whites and the disobedient Indians.
There Is trouble among the Wallapais
about the Observance Of the burial cere-
mony. II has been the custom among
them TO burn the horses and all personal
effects Of the dead. To this a good many
bands objected, the principal one being
that Of Leve Lsye and Wallapai Charley,
who desire to foilog tine customs of the
whites with respect to the dead, and this
question is to ba settled at the present
Grass Springs pow wO8.
Old settlers say that there is not the
slightest cause for alarm, and tho TACT
that The Indians are divided among them
selves goes 10 show there viii he no
