The San Antonio Ledger, of the I'd, has
an account Of another murder and outrage.
committed by the Indians. The Ledger
says: st
On last Sunday evening, Mr.rSt. VIII
liams, living on the Medina, about IA
miles from this city, was cruelty butcher
ed by a party Of six indiana. 1t seems
that he goilc from his house for water, and
soon after, his wife hearing him shout for
assistance, ran to the spot, and found that
the cruel work had been done--her hus-
band was killed. The Indians then came
to the house, robbed it of lis contents, and
carried off their three children. sTheylefs
the house short distance, and sat dWEn to
enjoy feast, served up with the most
shocking cruelty.s Mrs, Williams followed
them, and by eutreaty succeed in getting
from them her two youngest children.
The other, little girl they would not
give up, but carried her of. with them, and
is still captive among them, They also
drove offthe horses Of Mr. Williams. Mrs.
Williams started off for a neighbor's house
almost frantic with grief, scarcely know
ling where and for what shew gong.r-
| After wandering about lost and bewildered
for the whole,of Sunday night, about day
light she came to the house of Mr.. sCaruth-
ers. l. ~
Several citizens Of the neighborhood
started off Immediately in pursuit. We
have not yet heard whether or not it i
likely that the Indians would be oyertakef
'Ibut would rather think that they viii make
4 their escape. ~ IA,
The news reached San Antonio on Mon,
day the 30th, when a company of fifteer
or twenty regulars under the command O
Captain Calhoun, was sent in pursuit Of the
Indians. The party returned on the even
ling Of the 1st inst, The Ledger says: !
They followed them some sixty OF, sey
enty miles, when they concluded it wa
useless to go further, and gave ,upthe pur
suit. The Indians were SCamanches, in
stead of Apaches. as first reported. Il
their flight thew did not fail to act out thei
: ruling propensity tliat of stealing. The,

the main issues on which they have been ar
