The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory September 13th, 1873 Indian Items. Since the Indians went on the Verde reservation, last spring, many of them have been sick and more than one hundred have died from fever and whooping cough. The sickness and mortality have rendered them uneasy and many have been anxious to leave the Verde and go back to Date Creek, their old home. Some few have left the reservation and gone back, as tracks seen near Date Creek the last week show. All their old haunts are known however, and so long as they do not break out in large numbers, no serious trouble is anticipated.
