it is important. whether at home. at

Passed Away at His Home In Prescott,

Commercial Development Of the Terri
tory-Historical Log Cabin

PRESCOTT, Ariz.. Sept. 2. - Judge
Henry W. Fleury, who came to Arizona
with the first set of territorial officers, in
1868. died here to-day of Bright's disease.
Judge Fleury was an historical as well as
a peculiar character, having served as
secretary of the territory. also as acting
governor during the early history of Ari-
zona. Since first coming here he has
never been outside OF the territory. and
during just twenty-seven years ne had
slept but one night away from the house
occupied by him from his first arrival.
which was also occupied in the early days
by the governor and other territorisl Of
cias. About year ago he was called to
an adjacent mining camp on official bus
mess as justice OF the peace, being absent
one night. This was the only time in
over quarter of century lat he was
absent for even a day from Prescott. The
quaint old log house in which he lived
so long and in which he died was an OBJ
ject of interest to all visitors to Prescott,
as in addition to serving as a gubernato-
ial mansion and Offices for territorial Off
cials during the early period of Ariz ona
history,it also served as sort of fort and
safe placs of retreat during the DAYS
when the Apaches held sway over this
section. Judge Fleury came here from
Brooklyn, N. Y, where his relatives still
reside. He was over 80 years OLD.

dian depredations act of congress. Texas
heads the list. with New Mexico good
second. Some of these claims are just.
some exorbitant, some fraudulent. AS an
example two Mexican grandees sof New
Mexico claimed to have lost Is, 600 sheep,
valued at 50 per head and not only made
affidavits to that effect, but had fifteen or
twenty of their employees do the same
thing. It seemed to be clear case of
loss, but the court objected to paying 81
per head on Mexican sheep. Mr.. Spear
land was accordingly sent to New Mexico
by the court to compromise on $l.50 per
head, but the Mexicans declined all over
lures to arbitrate. AS this was Mr.. Spear
lands first case, he was anxious to make
record, and began an investigation
which resulted in establishing the fact
that the Mexicans never owned more than
1900 sheep at any one time. and that a
few hundred head were actually stolen by
Navajo Indians. but at different time
and place than that claimed. An enter
prising Bear Butte ranchman ha" filed
claim for the loss of $50 TONS of hay at
5000 per ton, alleged to have been de-
s.royed by Indians in March, 1877. At
the time hay was selling in that region
for $2U to $50 per ton.
