NAVAJO INDICTED ON THE
CHARGE OF MURDER OF
TRADER TWO YEARS AGO

A two-year mystery of the far
reaches Of the Navajo Indian reserva-
tion, in the northeastern section OF
the state, came one step nearer solu-
tion yesterday when an indictment
charging murder was returned against
Dal aGi, Navajo tribesman, by fed
eral grand jury. Cal is in the Mari
copa county jail awaiting arraignmeni
on the charge.
In the early fall of 1923, from
tiersma named Dugan, one of the old
school, was brutally slain when "a
party or parties" unknown set fire to
his little trading post after robbing it.
Dugan's post was probably the farth-
est removed from any settlement OF
whites in the United States.
When word of the double crime
found its way back to constituted au-
thorities, Uncle Sam dispatched his
representatives to the scene. There
was found but a single clue, the blood
sTneared club with which the aged
trader had been beat to death before
his little shack had been fired
With this club as the starting point
Of their Investigations, department OF
justice agents worked tirelessly anC
relentlessly. The trail carried them
through the most remote sections Of
the reservations, some times across
the Grand Canyon and into Nevada
some times across the AriZona-NeN
Mexico boundary line.
Two years elapsed, but there was
no let up in the work. Tribesmer
were interviewed. Most of them of
fered every cooperation to the govern
ment men, for considerable indigTa
ton was caused among the Indians BY
Dugan's brutal murder The old Irisf
trader was known as a "big white
brother" real friend to the red man
In the interim, younger brother
of Dugan went to the reservation
Close to the spot where the elder Du
gan met his tragic end, he established
another trading post.
His constant contact with the In
dams brought much information O.

agents. Finally, the trail lead to The

But his detention was held essential t.
