 Ike Rogers, who captured Cherokee Bill, was last week killed at Pert Gibson, Indian Territory, by Clarence Goldsby, brother of the desperado. Mot less than two hundred persons were on the depot platform when the shooting occurred. The first ball took effect in Rogers body. The people crowded away and Goldsby fired three shots into Rogers head. He then picked up Rogers rife and ran under the ear to the other side. Fifty shots were exchanged between Goldsby and the crowd, only one ball taking effect. It struck bystander in the face and inflicted a painful but not fatal wound. The Cherokee freedmen's payment was going on at the time and not less than i've thousand people were camped here. Rogers was a Cherokee negro and was considered peaceful citizen. Clarence Goldsby, who did the shooting, is twenty-one years old. Cherokee Bill was hanged on March IT, 1896, at Fort Smith, Ark, for the murder of Larry Heating, brother of our fellow-towns- man, John G. Keating He was a big Indian negro only twenty years old, and a member of the original Cook gang of Indian Territory outlaws. He was known to have killed at least four men.

Resolved, That this Congress do approve

Resolved, That this Congress do approve the proposed construction under the plans of the U. s. Geological Survey, of the Buttes reservoir, in Pinai county. Arizona, recently ported. to again reclaim the lands of these trtA,s believing thai by SD dong can the Go e rnment alone honorably redeem the b. ken pledges made by it to these people and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indian tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved. That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as just and philanthropic, but as economical and good policy, as in comparatively short time the expense of maintaining such In dians as Government charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required to make them a self-supporting and self-re- specting community.
 Now, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:
 l. The reservoir site referred to having been withdrawn from entry by Government authorities, cannot now be utilized by any private corporation, and the Government therefore occupies the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter ests of humanity dictate that the h. dians should be gathered on the reser- vations. have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be fursished
 ith farming implements and an mex haustible supply of water for irriga' ton of their lands, to tn, end that they may become self supporting. by this means will | home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance ir civilization as consequence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at a dis tance where they are kept Gas it would seem) for mere pursoses of show After being instructed in the arts ot civilization for time they arereturned to savagery, to become more unhappy and discontented than if they hat never received the questionable advan tages. We feel that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard.
 8. The Pima and Maricopa Indiar reservation contains $50, 900 acres of al fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirabl. adapted for homes for these people, a' well as the wandering Papagoes, wh' are now compelled to prey upon tn herds of our farmers and ranchmen fo subsistence.
 4. The construction of a storage res ervoir at the Buttes by the Govern eaent offers a plain business propos tion for the correction of these evils.
 Resolved, That the Secretary Of tn Territory be instructed to transmit copy of the foregoing Memorial to ou Delegate and Delegate-eleet in Cor gress. and also acopy eaeh4o the Pres , dent of the Senate and Speaker of tn House of Representatives.
