Governor Murphy Says That All
Is Quiet Among the NavajoS.

Governor Murphy returned last
night from Flagstaff, where he went to
investigate the reports of disorder
among the Navsjos. The sensational
stories sent out from the north and
from Phoenix were not only greatly
exaggerated, but many of the most SER
ious ones were without foundation.
There was never any danger of an up
rising on account OF the bloody ARRAY
at Walnut canyon, last Saturday night,
in which w. 81. Montgomery and two
Indians were killed. Montgomery &
body was not mutilsted, rs had been
reported, nor was there any Indication
that the Indians had returned to the
battlefield after the sheriff's posse had
left it.
Regarding the story that Fred Voltz
of Canyon Diablo had seen large par
ty of Indians from the reservation 60

Governor Murphy saw Voltz In Flag

he bad seen no Indians at all and was

thing was quiet on the reservation.

FRATERNIZIN6 AFTER BATTLE
British and Beers Join In Caring
For the Wounded.

AS the fighting did not finish until
after nightfsll, 1t was necessary for
the men to bivousc on the field. This
they did ckeerfully, and in an orderly
manner, despite soaking downfall
and the chilling cold. From the
moment of the "Cease firing" both
British and Beers fraternized in the
care of the wounded. The stretchers
were found to be missing in the confu-
sion necessarily consequent on an at
tack against modern weapons, and
the wounded men from among and be-
hind the rocks and down the slippery
hilleides. But everyone worked loyal
ly, and the staff in Lsdysmith labored
50 effectively that, though the first
doolies, or native stretchers, only ar
rived at midnight, special trains were
ready throughout the night to convey
the wounded to the hospital and with
the first stroke of dawn sufficient
doolies were waiting to convey every
man.
The Red Cross workers attached to
the Boer force were equally ready. and
it was pleasant to see the mutual good
feeling. The British soldiers treated
the Boer wounded as solicitously as
their own, aud round one Of the few
camp fires which were lighted L saw
all the best places occupied by the enc
my's wounded prisoners. Armed Doors
even appeared with the object OF
searching for their wounded. They
were allowed to pass freely about the
hill, and gave no sign of any desire to
freely and good humoredly with our
soldiers, and then, Having fulfilled their
mission, disappeared in the darkness.
