More Rangers.-The citizens Of the
Monte assembled on the 23d instant, and
organized force auxiliary to the Rangers
of this city. The new company consists
of 26 active members. The following men
were unanimously elected officers, viz
John II. Hughes, Captain; James H.
Wetberbee, lst Lieutenant; Alex. Puett,
2d Lieutenant.
1t is the intention Of the company to
made immediate application to be received
as military police force, and to be sup
piled with arms, &c. The meeting was
we'll attended, and we are assured the
enrolled members are all good men.
The military police of this county, in
cluding this company, now consists of two
companies of mounted and one of foot
Rangers, numbering seventy.fve active
members. Their efficiency has often been
tested, and so long as there are thieves
and villains, we believe their organization

hold meeting soon, for the choice of bat.
tallion officers, and to take measures for a
more perfect organization of the force.
Killed by the hdians-Mr. J. T. Smith,

Of "Reese's Train last week, and the loss
of a sum of money. Col. R., on arriving
at San Bernardino, had dream, in which
the locality of the money was so vividly
impressed upon his mind that he resolved
to return and find it. He returned with
two men, and when near Salt Springs was
attacked and killed. His death was re-
ported to Mr.. Smith by one of the Indians.
Mr.. Smith was himself attacked three
times by the same band, and suffered
many hardships. The last time thew
killed his horses and eat them on the
camp ground. They also took his blan.
ksts and clothing, and left him with his
wife and two children alone on the desert.
He says they were for sixty hours with
scarcely no rest, and were finally overta-
ken by portion of Reese's relief train
and brought into San Bsrnardino. He
was we'll armed, and to this fact alone he
says he owes his personal safety.
BY later accounts, we learn from Mr..
Reese and his party returned in safety to
San Bernardino on Monday night. They
suffered much for want of provisions, but
were successful in finding the entire sum
of money in buckskin bag. They visit
ed the spot indicated, and found the bag
had been dag out by coyote.
