AN INDIAN TRAGEDY.
Havasupai Youth Falls Victim to
His Emotion.

muned with His Brothers
Spirit.
Especial Arizona letter.

EW people imagine the Indian to
~ be as full of sentiment as he real
ly is. Fewer still, looking at the
apparently dull, stolid, heavy faced
youths of the Havasupai tribe would
deem one of them capable of commit
ting suicide, purely for grief at the
death of his brother and his inability
to remain and weep for his loss.
Here is the true story as told to me
by the Havasupais whom visited but
two days ago, down in the heart of
their glorious Havasu (Cataract) can
yon home in northern Arizona. The
boy was known to the whites as Patsy.
His Indian name-not now to be
breathed to anyone-was Ja-a-demi-
va. His father was Rock Jones, the
leading medicine man of the tribe.
Patsy was about 20 years of age. A
few months ago he and IA other boys
were taken from their canyon home
and removed to the Indian school on
the Wallapai reservation at Truxton.
A little over month ago Patsy's
young brother, down in Havasu can
yon, was taken sick. He and Patsy
had been excellent friends and COM
rades, despite the disparity of their
ages, and both keenly felt the parting
when Patsy was sent to school, Hence
it was natural that the sick boy should
crave the presence of his brother. He
asked that he be sent for. His father
did not accede to his request at first,
but, as the days went by and the sick
boy rapidly grew worse, he went to
the industrial teacher who was acting

to be allowed to remain awhile. His
parents and friends wished him to
stay, but the acting agent was inexor-
able lie was good man, according
to Lis knowledge. As farmer he has
done more for these Indians than all
his predecessors of several years, but
as dealer with tender human hearts
he is entirely out of place. He knew
nothing but his orders. They were
that Patsy was to return in 30 days.
The policeman was sent for Patsy.
He was hidden leave that very day
or be sent back Il prisoner. In vain
were Patsy's excuses and pleadings.
Finally his father was called upon
to provide companion and two
horses, with whom he could go to
the railway, about 90 miles off, and
there lie was to take train to Trux-
ton, while the companion was to ride
back the horses to the village of the
Havasu.
Sadly and sorrowfully Patsy babe
good-by to his parents and friends
and started on his journey. He took
with him shotgun for securing food
on the way. His companion, Ma
tue, went on ahead, as Patsy clearly
wished to be alone. Every now and
then Mature would look back, to see
tears rolling down Patsy's cheek.
Mature was distressed at Patsy's
sorrow, and Patsy's thoughts we're
nh! who could tell? Slowly they
rode on Mature every now and then
looking back to see that Patsy fol-
lowed. They reached the hilltop and
now Patsy seemed to lag behind more
than before. Mature went over a
ridge down into small canyon, up
and out on the other side and there
waited for Patsy. Half an hour, an
hour, an hour and half passed and
he did not come. So, feeling some
thing akin to fear, Mature went
back to see what was the matter.
Half mile or SO back he came upon
Patsys horse, shot through the head.
Thoroughly alarmed he called aloud
for Patsy, but nothing save the echo
from the walls of the canyon be-

meath gave him answer. He walked
back d little further and there under
a chimiwoia (mountain rush) bush
he saw Patsy, his gun in his hand,
| dead He had sat down and DELHI
erately placed the shotgun under his
face and fired.
When Mature returned with the
news to the village the excitement
was intense. Few would have re-
garded the Havasupai Indian as
stolid had they seen the wonder and
awe and distress depicted on every
face. Suicides among Indians are
comparatively rare-far more SO
than among the higher civilized peo-
pies. At first the Indians could not
believe it. Then a number of them
went up to the hilltop to see the.
body. They could find no traces,
either of horses or men, except those
made by Patsy and Mature, so they

spirit would hover around his for

never even suggested such ideas be-

for. The request was forwarded to
the agent at Truxton, and Patsy was
granted 80 days leave of absence to

was joyous and yet exceedingly sad,

BE KIND YOURSELF.

Then be kind yourself!
Hide not gifts of heart or mind
On the futures shelf
Give what you can spare, and more.
From to-day's most precious store.
Would you meet with truth? Then truth
You must proffer first.
Life hath need of grace and ruth,
But, through best and worst.
Truths gold passes. clear and straight
And is always worth its weight!
Would you honor gain? Be swift
To give honor due;
The deserving to uplift,
Crown the crowned anew
With laurels they have won
In whatever work, we'll done.
Would you be beloved? Then love!
And be sure of this
Whatso'er life's gifts may prove,
All that was or Is

Than Loves matchless loneliness!

Laramie, Wyo., April 26, 1902.

Laramie, WyO., April 70, lSOZ.
To the Editor Of The Republican.
Your several notes about the wan
dering and death of the colored man
William Harris, and the detention o
William Diamond have been read will
increasing interest.
Why should william Diamond bt
held under arrest? What has he done
except to witness the murder Of his
friend, William Harris, by these me-
at Buford?
Why should not the man who incit
ed the murderous party and those who
executed the deed of murder be now
arrested and tried for their acts? What
excuse can the officers Of the law find
for not having warrants issued long
before this date for the perpetrators OF
this affair?
1t has been reported that not very
long since in Spain a man of some
note was set upon and wounded by
highwaymen, who were arrested and
let go to await trial on 5000 bail. whilst
the victim was held as a witness in
Jail in default Of $1,000 bail. That is
called Spanish justice.
In the United States a man is said
by the constitution to be entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happi
ness. Also that a man is to be consid-
cred innocent until he is proved guilty.
The rights Of citizenship have been
conferred on colored men by amend
ments to the constitution, yet here, in
the young, liberty-loving state Of Wyo-
ming. where freedom and equal
rights are supposed to be cardinal
principles, n man is killed and anoth-
er thrown into prison on a snap judg-
ment of a man who may have mislaid
a small package of money, and who
charges at most a petty larceny. Where
is Justice? When is 1t the intention
of the county attorney and other Off
GERS to have justice administered and
the guilty punished?
This Is a call for justice to be done.
Let those guilty of shedding the blood
of William Harris answer at the bar
for their crime and take the just PEN
atty. This is not only demanded in
Justice but that hot-blooded citizens be
restrained by this example from again
hastily taking the law into their own
hands.
What mans life is safe under such
hasty acts anywhere in this country If
no arrest or punishment follows such
fragrant outrage as this attack and
killing?. Let justice be done and the
community be protected, as 1t has the
right to be, by proper encouragement
