 statement of findings in the
 Fo6gn ssnpenaed pe4hsed is zEsE EgsRqFt s15 ip a1 the HIS 9f [33essise county have been called u 5on to I5llder through their represent atives the verdict of Coroner's jury up- on their murdered citizens, and again through it's recommendations to appeal for that relief for which they have cried so long and in vain. From almost the same spot where but a little time since the invalid Hardis met his death come the bodies of the latest victims of the San Carlos renegades.
 1.-The evidence in this inquest proves the assertion made by the Coroner's jury in the Hardie case.
 It was claimed then, notwithstanding the denial of the military authorities, bands of Indians were constantly rowing back and forth from the reservation to Mexico. This is proved by the fact that their camping place was found, showing indisputable evidence of long and con stant use.
 1t was claimed that the Indian scouts employed by the army are constantl, treacherous, deceiving their officers, sup plying information, provisions and am munition to their hostile brethren, and iu time joining them in their raids. This is proven by the fact that an officer near the spot, when shown foot tracks by the settlers, was made to believe and assert that they were those of the scouts them selves.
 "Ihe murder of Hardie, the finding of the trail, the long used camp. the failure of the scouts to find the hostiles when in their vicinity and the killing of Robinson and Brldger prove undoubtedly that In dians are off the reservation and hundreds of miles from 1t, and the ignorance Of the authorities of the fact as well as proof oi their inability to remedy it.
 l lit Is in evidence that both men are shot in the head, one in the exact middle of the forehead. Harlie was shot in tho 1 heart, evidence of skilled marksmanshil as we'll as possession of improved wea pons.
 l IC 1stoo 10 i.iC LliStdhc Ol lus Government in it's dealings with the In dians, the first almost crime It Ii sought as the prime reason for the main tenance of the reservation system, t, make of the Indian tiller of the soil, t' supply him with the implements and t, teach him their use In this vocation h. has no use for the repeating rifle and ye it is permitted. He is mustered with tn company of scouts, drilled and taught tn use of his weapons and all of the habit and methods of his guards, then mustere, out to take the warpath and practice up on the settler the arts and skill the Gov ernment has taught him, while his broth CT takes his place in the ranks drawin, rations for both by presenting his tag until he in turn takes to the warpath.
 Did ever civilization know such folly such mistakes, such injustice?
 With a full knowledge of the subiec gained through years of contact with tn Apache Indian question, and with th belief that it is our right to demand an the duty of the Government to accord
 full and complete protection.
 We earnestly recommend that the IT dians of Arizona be at once deprived ( the possession and other means of ot taining fire arms and fixed ammunition , and that the system of enlisting the II dians as scouts be abolished.
