A brutal murder was committed at the upper Pima village yesterday morn ing. Looche, dangerous desperado, shot down without warning or prepa- ration an Indian named Pa-Pa-Ige.
 Word was brought to town as soon after the killing as Ti-e-Cox, an Indian, could spur his pony across the inter- vening sixteen miles. He notified Henry Morgan of the bloody doing and Justice Johnstone having placed war rant for Looche's arrest into the hands of Constable Garfiae, summoned 8 cor oner's jury and set out for the Pima village. The members of the jury were Henry Morgan, John Dewitt, c. J. Dyer, J. G. Clark, H. Yarnell and Will Webster.
 Ti-e-Cox who had already started came back. The murderer was abroad and he might meet him. He feared Loo-che's vengeance upon him for hav- ing invoked the interference of the whites.
 On arriving at the village the officers found terror and consternation prevail ing. The murdered Indian lay in his hut surrounded by his relatives of three or four generations.
 The toddling pappose and the aged crone of nearly century joined in ululation at Pa-Pa-Iges' taking off. All were bare to the waist and some howled and beat themselves withgrief and others sat near and crooned death song. The hut in which the dead Indian lay was a low mud covered structure whose only door facing the east, on which side are all entrances to Pima dwellings,, com pelled the coroner and jury to enter by crawling.
 The bullet which killed Pa-Pa-Ige en- tered the breast an inch or two below the throat and came out below the right shoulder blade.
 Tie.e-Cox and other Indians said that the killing occurred about six o'clock though the dead Indians wife was the only witness. Pa-Pa-Ige was standing about twenty feet from his wicki-pp his wife near him. Loo-che- rode up to within twenty feet and without saying a word suddenly lowered his Winches- ter and fired. He rode away across the desert rdpeatedly firing to intimidate the Indians and prevent their follow ing.
 They were so thoroughly terrorized that it was with difficulty that they could be persuaded to accompany Con- stable Garfias on his hunt, for if they failed to find Looche he might come back and there would be other dead braves. At last one consented to ac- company the officer, or rather to ride behind him, and Looche was to be killed on sight.
 The pursuers set out on gallop. They traced the murderer to the river where he had ridden back and forth them. At last he struck off toward Tempe and when the officer arrived there he found Looche's horse staked outside the town. Looche was just re- turning, his pockets filled with recently purchased ammunition. Within 400 yards of him the Indian accompanying the officer stopped and prayed him to kill Looche without ceremony. The constable rode up to the murderer and dismounting, seized him. Looche made some resistance. He didn't want to go back to the Pima village for he said he had no business there; he didn't want to come to Phoenix for he had no business here; he was on his way lover there," pointing toward the Papagoes.
 He was brought to town late yester- day afternoon and arraigned. He pied not guilty and began by saying he had killed Pa-Pa-Ige in self defense. He will be given preliminary hearing to- morrow. He was recently appointed mem Der of the Indian police. He wore 8 part of the uniform and very showy presidential campaign necktie of red, white and blue, and prominent feat ure of which was picture of President Cleveland.
