To the Members of the Bar of Los angeles
County:
GENTLEMEN-The undersigned, your
committee appointed by meeting of
the bar, held on yesterday, to draft suit
able resolutions expressive of the senti-
ment of the bar concerning their late
brother, Robert Hardie, respectfully re-
port the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, We have learned with deep
and sincere regret of the sad and un-
timely death, on the oath day of May,
$780, near Tombstone, in the territory
OF Arizona, of Robert Hardie, member
of Los Angeles county,
Therefore, be it by the members of
the bar in general meeting assembled,
Resolved, That Mr.. Hardie was care
full, studious and able lawyer, a gentle
man of stainless reputation and high in
tegrity, and one who had conducted him
self professionally and socially with such
gentleness and liberality toward his fell
low men that he justly won the high re-
gard of all who knew him.
Resolved, That as an evidence of our
esteem for our deceased brother we re-
quest the several departments of the
superior court of this county, SO far as
their business may permit, to adjourn
today during the time of the funeral.
ResOlced, That as expressive of our
sympathy for the family of the deceased
the secretary of this meeting be, and is
hereby requested to deliver to them a
copy OF these resolutions, and cause the
same to be published in the newspapers
of this city.
Respectfully submitted, E. C. Bower,
A. T. Patton, A. W. Hutton r. B. Car
penter, Moye Wicks, F. H. Howard.
The services were held at 80 in the
afternoon at the residence of the de-
ceased, the bar being represented by
committee consisting of Judges Clark
and Cheney, w. F. Fitzgerald and w. I.
Foley. Judges Wade, Shaw, Cheney
and Clark adjourned their courts at 10
O'Clock and Judge Van Dyke ordered an
adjournment in the afternoon, out of re-
spect to the deceased.
The funeral services were held at Mr..
Hardies residence, 929 South Main
street. The pall-bearers selected were
Judges Cheney and Clark, Hon. w. F.
Fitzgerald, w. J. Foley. G. j. Cochran
and F. H. Suppel. Rev. John Dickinson
conducted the ceremony according to
the ritual of the Unitarian church. The
interment took place at Rosedale ceme-
terry.
DIR. Haynes was interviewed by re-
porter yesterday, to ascertain if he might
not have been mistaken in regard to
identifying the murderers of Hardie as
Indians. The doctor was very positive
that the attacking party were redskins,
and said that he saw one of the men SO
closely that his features were easily dis
tinguished. He was struck by the fell
lows close resemblance to the pictures
he had seen of Geronimo.
General Grierson said Yesterday that
he is not yet convinced that the murder
ers of Hardie are Indians. The country
in the neighborhood of Fuckers canon
had been thoroughly searched, and no
trace of Indians could be found. A mis-
take had been made, he said, in not
sending the first news of the murder to
the nearest military post, Fort Bowie or
Fort Huachuca. After the report of the
affair did reach those posts, troops were
Immediately sent to the canon, and the
surrounding country ridden over in
search of the renegades.
1t is stated that every effort possible
is being made to run down the murder
ers. The authorities at Fort Bayard,
Fort Grant, Fort Lowell and Fort
Thomas, as well as at Fort Bowie and
Fort Huachuca, have troops on the
trail. If the murder was the work of
Indians they will be run down as soon
as the fact is established that Indians
did the killing. Scouts are to be put on
the trail, and the redskins cannot pos
sibly escape. 1t is only question Of
time when they will be captured.
The Indians are all quiet. General
Grierson has received word from San
Carlos that The Indians are all on the
reservation, and are peaceable. Several
times lately when murders have been
charged up to Indians in Arizona it has
been afterward demonstrated that white
men did the work. If Hardie was killed
by the five redskins who murdered
Sheriff Reynolds, the blame cannot
attach to the army, or these same
Indians were turned over to the war de-
partment by the civil authorities to be
tried for murder. 1t was from the civil
authorities they escaped.
