SENTENGED BY
MILITARY COURT
Navajo Indians Appeal for Justice Under
Writ of Habeas Corpus Will Be
Heard in Tombstone.
CLAIM THEY WERE NOT GIVEN FAIR TRIAL
It now appears that the history of
the famous Navajo Indian outbreak
near the Navajo reservation on the
Utah and Arizona line during March
last will be reviewed in Tombstone be
fore Judge Doan.
Eight of the leaders arrested by tbe
government are under sentence at
Fort Huachuca. Now the eight pris
oners, with unpronounceable names,
want to know where they are at, and
have taken their case into the courts,
Attornev Gibson for the dusky native
Arizonans, having apolied for a writ
of heabas corpus in their interest.
The names of the prisoners now in
custody at (Fort Huachuca under sen
tence at hard labor, are By a-lil-be.
Polly, Sis co, By-a-liI-be-tahSr., At
city, Chee-nab-ki-be-ga and Chiz-e-tdon-be-ga.
They claim they were
arrested and sentenced by the military
authorities without trial or hearing of
any kind, and aert they are wrongly
sentenced and accused, hence the ap
plication for writ of habeas corpus.
The case of tese Indians has been
tbe cause of many military reportr.
In brief, the outbreak of the Indians
occurred last March and caueed much
alarm. A special acent of the govern

sent to disarm the Indians and that

After consultation the authorities de
cided to capture Badal-le and his im
mediate followeit. Accordingly at
break of day one morning in March
the band was surprised by troopers
and captured, not, however, until
three Indisne had been killed and one
soldier injured. The redskins were
finally disbanded, and sent to var'ous
military prisons, the leader and seven
others being sentenced to Fort Hua
chuca. The charges against the Navajos are
defiance of the government, internal
dissension, rioting, habitual trouble
making and obstruction of the educa
tion of the Indian childron.
The hearing of the writ has been
set for January 0th. when the redmea
who were on the warpath will doubt
less be brought to Tombstone.
