JAMES AQUINESS
May 8, 1914
Yuma Sentinel

James Aquiness, the young Indian who was shot by one of the 
Indian policemen Friday night, when he resisted arrest, died 
at the county hospital at about eleven o'clock Saturday 
morning.  Yesterday afternoon Justice Jones hald an inquest 
into the cause of the death.

The principal witness was Walter Scott, one of the Indian 
policemen who made the arrest. Very little could be learned 
from his testimony as he appeared unwilling to tell much about 
the case.  The body was turned over to the dead boy's 
relatives.  The cremation will take place tomorrow at the 
village, a quarter of a mile north of Fort Yuma.
