THE Fort Mcdowell reservation has been finally abandoned by the military and turned over as site for an ln- dian school. The reservation extends for fifteen miles along both sides of the Verde river, and is about six miles in width. All this land is retained for the use of tine school, and 1t Is asserted that irrigation ditches for the benefit of settlers below the reservation will not be allowed to cross it. Such a body of land is not needed for the school and will never be utilized by the Indians. The larger portion Is said to be suitable for agricultural pur- poses, and would be occupied by set tiers if thrown open to settlement, which should be done. The regula- ton concerning irrigation ditches Is unjust and should also be rescinded. In the White Mountain reservation the Indians of Arizona already have plenty of land, and they should not be given any more.

Some years ago we were very much subject to severe spells of cholera nor bus; and now when we feel any of the symptoms that usually proceed that ail- ment, such as sickness at the stomach, diarrhea, etc., we become scary. We have found Chamberlain's Remedy the very thing to straishten one out in such cases, and always keep it about, It is somewhat similar 10 the usual cholera cures, but seems to contain ingredients Iha, ren jer it more pleasant to take, and that do their work more quickly. Sheriff Devereux tells us that he is subject to cholera morbus. and recently felt spell coming on, when he obtained bottle Of Chamberlain's~C Collie, Cholera and Dar- thea Remedy, and two doses made him all right.

EL-CHEEs-CHoos, tho Indian hanged at Solomonville recently, was corl- sistent heathen and somewhat Of philosopher. When asked by the Catholic priest if he wished spiritual consolation he replied that he did not see, considering that he was to die in q short time, that he had any partlcu- lar need of religion, but if he had a few wears more to lire would take the matter under consideration that he would appear before God, tell his own story, and if condemned to hell would accent his fate without a murmur. When, following the usual custom' lhe officers asked if he wanted some whisky, the Indian replied that he did not wish to be made fun of mean ing that death, had no terrors for him and that he did not wish to benumb his senses by getting drunk. When in sight of the scaffold he asked for a cigarette, sat down, quietly smoked it. chatting the while, and with quiet dig nitv walked to his death. One state ment he made is worthy of considera- ion by Eastern people. He said that the only way to prevent Indians from killing white people was for the white people to kill all the Indians. Know ing the irreconcilable feud existing be
 tween the Apache and the white race, and feeling that their exiermlnatlon or removal to distant lands is the only price of peace, yet we cannot but ad- mire the heroic conduct of this untu' tored savage who knew that he had but a few minutes to live. El-Chees- Choos exhibited strength of charac'
 ter and intellectual abilities that would
 under different circumstances, have I raised him to high rank in life.

SOMETHING Is out oi joint these days, or it may be owing entirely to General Miles. In the last few days there have been some good Indians made, both by the hangman's moose and the military. Lieutenant Mackay did a neat job in killing one of Sheriff Reynolds murderers and gathering in some of the other members Of the no torious Kid band. The only mistake made by the Lieutenant Is that he ali lowed any of them to surrender ln- steal of killing them.

From the SaEta RitaS.

Ihl. OdIliCS LAlhOf OA ViAS t1eAASeS A"AS~ mountains, who has charge of the Schoffield ranch there, came in last Sunday and is stopping with friend on Main street.
 He reports 8 tremendous water spout one day last week at the Pagan cafion, in which the Schoffield ranch is located. The spout, or flood, covered a section of country about a mile square, sweeping everything before l.. It swept away the orchard and garden of the Schoffield ranch, leaving in its stead nothing but a pile of rock and a sand bar.
 Nine head of cattle were found dead, having been drowned along the path of the water, and it is supposed that as many more perished. Several horses were also seen floating away, but as to the number drowned no one knows. It also swept away scores of chickens. The water was from five to ten feet in depth along the canon and spared nothing before it.
 A number of wild animals, such as deer, panther and bear, were also found dead along the course of the deepest water. At the Harshaw ranch, some ten miles down from where the spout first struck the mountains, the water was higher than ever known before. The hail that accompanied the storm was as big as marbles and came down al | most with the force of bullets, beating all the fruit off the trees, and even the leaves. It was equally as injurious to the grape vines.
 A freight team loaded for Greater vile with miners supplies, which hap pened to be mired down at Davidson IS springs when the storm came, was struck with such force by the rush ing waters as to be carried down the stream for mile, the driver barely having time to unhitch his horses and drive them onto some high land. The wagon when found was a complete wreck, and not sign or shred of any of the supplies was to be seen any, where.
 Never such q storm was seen in thai country, and it will be remembered 1 for years to come as one of the most extraordinary freaks of nature in the way of water spout ever experienced in those mountains.
 The copper mines that have been there located, are being worked witt splendid showings. Messrs. McClearN & Stevens are working three or foul of them and have splendid prospect the ore assaying from 20 to 30 pel cent copper.
 Greaterville is a prosperous little town, or mining camp, away up i'll the Santa Ritas. Placering for gold IS the chief employment of the people there and when they have plenty of watel it is 8 perfect "bonanza." At present the town is little dull owing to th' scarcity of water, but withal there art some sixty men at work washing gold and if rain should happen to fall soot Graterville will see more than two hundred men gathering the yellow dust which in the market sells fol $15.50 per ounce.
 MT. Kane reports plenty of rain al through the southern section of oul county, and grass is spring;ng up il every direction; cattle are fattenins and beginning to look we'll enough fo the butchers block.-Tucson Star.

 The execution of the Apache In dian, El-Chees-Choos, convicted of the murder of freighter named Herbert, six miles north of Fort Thomas, on | the second day of last March, was a gratifying success and reflects credit on Sheriff Whelan, who had every arrangement perfect. The condemned Indian was kept under the surveillance 1 of death watch for 4S hours before the time set for hanging, and during all that time did not show the least sign of emotion or evince any uneasi- ness as 10 his fate in the land of the | hereafter.
 He belonged to the Tonto tribe and 1 is said to have been one of the worst on the reservation. Jimmy Stevens and Marajildo Griialva acted as inter- prcters for those who cared to talk with the condemned Rev. Father GeldOrf visited him several times and urged the necessity of spiritual prepa- ration for ihe next world. But all was refused by4El-Chees Choos, who said that no doubt the fathers religion was good for this world, and if he was to remain in 1t he would be willing to 1 become a Christian, but as his time was nearly up here below he could not see that any benefit could come to him now. He told Father Geldorf that he (the Indian) would see God himself and tell Him the whole story and if He thought he ought to go 10 hell it would be all right.
 He protested his innocence to the last, claiming that the two Indians who were killed by the troops were the assassins of Herbert, and that he was forced to accompany them on their flight at the point of rifle.
 Whisky was offered him on Friday morning, but was refused with the re- mark: "YOu people are trying to make fun of me. know that have to die to-day. I don't want any whisky and don't want 10 be made fun of" Later in the day he called for watermelon, which was procured and eaten heart fly. He played cards with the prison CTS in the jail most of the forenoon.
 At about ? o'clock Sheriff Whelan, with his deputies, Messrs. Robertson, Solomon and McCarty, entered the jail and the death warrant was read, after which the party marched into the jail yard, where the scaffold had been prepared. When they arrived to smoke cigarette, which was per milted He sat on the court house steps while smoking. and told the crowd through an interpreter that if they wished to keep Indians from killing white men they had better kill all the Indians. When he had fin ished his cigarette he arose and walked alone to the rope which hung between the beams and began to hum song which he kept up until the rope was adjusted and the black cap drawn over his head. Deputy J. P. Robertson cut the rope and El-Chee>-Choos Was ierked into the air and into eternity He hardly made struggle, and was pronounced dead by Dr A. II. Hoeffer the attending physician, ill fourteen minutes.
 This was the second hanging ever witnessed in this county, the first be ing the execution of three Chinamen in 1883 for the murder of one of their countrymen at Clifton.-Bulletin.
