Further Indian Troubles In New Mexico.
BY private correspondence, Of the date Of 0c-
tober goth, we have information from Fort Def
ance, New Mexico, to the following effect;
About two weeks prior TO that date, private be-
longing to the command Of Major o. L. Shepherd,
stationed at that post, was shot by Navahoe In
dian, within nils from the garrison As friendly
relations existed with the tribe, and Is no danger
in any event, was apprehended At spot 70 near to
the military station the soldier was wholly unarmed.
The savage. taking advantage Of this circumstance,
out Of pure malice, and SO far appears, without
any proyoeation, trsnshxed him with an arrow.
whether Il was poisoned or not Is unknown; but
the wound 1t inflicted, was 80 severe, that the man
died on the following day. Sfss
The matter being taken up by the commanding
officer, II was commended the part Of the tribe,
that it was simply of individual murder; and
that the nation as such, not having sanctioned the
crime, were not responsible for It's commission
demand for the delivery of the offender being made,
however, grand jsatos or council of the tribe
was held about the goth of October, at place some
sixty miles distant from the fort to consider the
question Of giving him up The Indian agent Cap
tain Dodge, seems to have been present upon the
occasion. As the offender was "peiado,n or
pennyless person-one of class which constitutes
large majority Of the nation--but little expecta-
ton WAS entertained that they would come to the
conclusion of delivering him up. II seems that,
hitherto, in their dealings with the Mexicans they
have been in the habit of making recompense for
the taking Of human life by giving over horses,
cattle, and Sheep In quantities proportional TO the
Importance Of their victim This custom formed
an additional ground Of doubt as to their compl
ance with the requisition
The Nayahoes are the most numerous people in
all that country but, although the largest it is
estimated that they not SO difficult TO wage
against as the Utahs The former, for the most
part, lead pastoral lc-ther property consists of
fiocks and hcrds--while the latter are more wan
dering, worthless, and warke in their habits, and
subsist by hunting, fishing, and flching.
In spite Of all probabilities, however, it seems
that the council finally concluded to give up the
