From the Galveston News Of Saturday last we ex.
tract the following:
The wounds Of Mr.. Ayres, Of the fremont House,
who was shot by Mr. Clute, on Thursday last, are
not so serious as at first anticipated though pistol
ball lies mbedded back of his shoulder with however,
but little inconvenience to himself.
We learn from friend on the frontier that the
Camanches, under Capt Gilbert, were to leave Camp
Cooper on the 30th ut.; that the Indians on the
Lower Reserve would start on the 1st inst, under
Maj Neighbors and Capt. Ross, commanded by Maj.
Thomas of the I'd Cavalry; all to go to their new
homes on the Wichita, said to be fine country. Six
companies-four cavalry and two infantry-were to
go with the Indians. The Indians on the Lower
Reserve numbered about 1900, and the Camanches
about 40o having among them good deal of stock.
The entire command would number about 2500 per
sons, with about an equal number of horses, cattle
and mules. That certainly makes pretty large
exodus from our frontier.
The Tyler Reporter states that difficulty occurred
at that place, the I'd, between James Fuller and
Green B. Casen, in which Casen was badly shot and
has since died. The difficulty grew ont of too free
use of I" Dexter Fuller escaped.
