DELIBERATE MURDER.
Chief Lopez, of the PApagOes, Shot
 and Killed at MaFicopa.

Chief Lopez, of the P~pagoes, Shot and Killed at Maricopa. Word reached Phoenix late last night of murder committed st Msricopa yesterday morning, the victim being Juan Lopez, who some nine months ago, was elected Chief of the Pspagoes living near Gila Band.
 From what can be learned of the af- fair it appears that ehort time ago Chief Lopez, who is remarkably intel ligent Indian and Chief ot the small band of Pspsgoes who have settled near G la Bsnd where they are engaged in farming, made complaint that another PAps9e named Louis hsd sold liquor to some Indians belonging Go his band and a warrant was issued for the srresb of Luis and placed in the hands of D3puky U aitsd States Marshal Porterie, of this city. This fact becems known to the oulaFie and when the two men met at Marioopa yesterday Louis, with out warming, pulled his gun and shot the Chief through tha head, causing in- stent death. The murderer immedi- ately mounted his horse and rode south into the Papsgo country.
 The body of the murdered Chief was placed on she westbouud train last night and taken to Gils Bsnd, where it wss turned over to his tribesmep, who today are holding sheir funeral services over his remains.
 Marshal Porteris intended leaving lsss night foF Marcops in an effort to looste and arrest the murderer for bis crime of selling liquor to Indians, but other business detained him and he did not go. Had he gone he would have learned of the murder and would now be ou the trail of bhe murderer.
