ELLINWOOD'S EEP0RT-
The Kollovdnti Id a Copy of the Itcport
of IT. 8, Attorney Klllnwood on
tlio Nnyojo Trouble.
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 29. 1897.
Tho Attorney General,
JYVa&hinciton, D. C.
to your favor of Juno 28th,
'S. B. S. F. 8757-1895" relative to
alleged outrages committed by the
Sheriff of CocoUlno county, Arizona
against the Navajo Indians, I have to
report that I hivo made as full Inves
tigation as is possiblo and 11 nd that
complaint to bo without any founda
tion in fact.
Befoio begiunlng tho luvostisralion
I had transcribed in form of affidavit
tho letter of comnlaint written bv
". j -
Auuitlnnal rainier Upton aud sent tho
samo to bim with tho request, that he
swear tcAtho ssm Jq taj F?1- -
would takoTthe ilMmritavUMivJwka

and tilings thetcin setfotth were stated
upon Information mcicly and be could
not inako oath to the same (though iu
his letter he had uot iudlcatcd that
tho snuio was stated upon information,
but had alleged the samo to be facts).
I havo waited for the statements from
tho Indians thiough Mr. Tiptou but
I havo failed to receive auy Information
from them.
I hcicwlth cncloso tho affidavits of
Sheriff Canieion, Dan M. Francis,
County Troasuicr, Deputy Sheriff
Black, James R. Wallace- aud R. D.
Joucs, maikediespectivclyEx. C, D.,
E., !'., aud G. These meu nro of un
doubted Integrity and veracity and 1
am bound to take their statements
as ti no.
Moreover, an nualysis of Mr. Tip
ton's letter which ho cannot swear to,
oi'ght to convince nnyono it seems to
mo of his reckless liso of tho hyperbole.
The Indian vocabulary is very limited
aud tho imagination and A ivid coloring
of tho wi'iter is easily discovered when
he reports that tho Indians repented
to him such sentences as follows:
"They pleaded for a reasonable lime
within which to get out; but even this
was inexorably denied; aud, amid the
touching cries of suffering and feat-
stricken children aud tho weeping of
V.-u-ef-nti icheir -rnotn-Ts, 'Tneirtitttr
flocks were rounded up and pushed
1
north, thiough deep snow, towards
tho Little Colorado River with re
lentless haste, the posse keeping up
an intermittent lire witli rifles nnd re
volvets, frightening sheep, squaws and
pappooses out of their wits."
Tho wholo report of Additional Far-i
nier Tipton is based upon statements
of which ho kuew nothing at tho time
aud was wiitten with all tho dash of a
novelist.
From tho affidavits enclosed it will
be seen: That by tho laws of the Tcr
ritoiy transient herds may bo assessed
at any time during tho year; that Nav
ajo Indians aro subject to taxation
when off the reservation tho eamo as
other poople, there being no treaty
stipulations to tho contrary; that there
was no outrage pel petratcd upon the
Indians; that there was no troublo or
conflict between tho officers and the
Indians; that theio was no snow upon
the ground, aud that the sheep were
diiven across tho river without any
loss whatever and without injury;
that theio was no display of tiro arms
by tlio oflicers, nor any shots II red, nor
any attempt to intimidato tho Indians;
that thoro wcro no tepees uor corrals
burned, uor any proporty of any kind
destroyed; in fact not an allegation of
Additional Farmer Tin ton is sustained
by tho testimony I bavb'beeH able to
obtain. HfrtalolvftB action for. data-

A reporter of tho Phoenix Republi
can has interviewed Gov. McCord aud
the Governor is very much In favor of
statehood and Is bitterly opposed to
homo rule. By advocating statehood
tho governor knows thnt ho will hold
bis job, for ho well kuows that the
present administration is opposed to
tho admission of Arizona.
Tlio governor will bo offered an op
poi luulty to use his iufluenco for state
hood, for the bill for admission will
bo pieseutcd first and pushed to a
voto. It will then dovolop that the
administration is bitterly opposed to
admission and the governor's advocaoy
of statehood will be u flat failure but
It will uot causo him much regret as
ho still holds his job. v;

completion of a system of waterworks.
The plan is to develop a sufficient
supply of water on tho Beasley ratich
eight miles north of Flagstaff to sunply
all tho requirements of tho town. "
W. J. Gondhuo late of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, has so much faith in, the
schemo that he agrees to be at all the
expenso of developing tho water, 'and
If ho don't develop a sufficient amount
ho is not to receive a dollar forjils
tlmo, mateiial or expense.
This is a fair proposition nnd one
that tho council sould well afford to
accept, for If it is a failure, tho town
is out nothing, and if it Is a success
tlio council can afford to payjwpllfor
it, nnd mnke, or savo big money inUhe
transaction. t,t
Development work will commence
within thirty days, and ho pnslieiftlll
completed, and after a thorough test
if it is cntiroly satisfactory then. tho
contract for putting in tho svateiu of
waterworks will be let. Tho .pVos

by early spring work on the system
will be pushed with a vim. , v
