place Of it's profits they have Indian forsys, which
sweep everything before them. Several OF the per-
eonal friends Of our informant among the czens had
been killed and scaIped within fifty miles Of San An
tonic while be was at Camp Verde. San Antoria and

The traitor Twiggs, David Emanuel Twiggs, IL said
by his late officers 10 be Jew. They call him Judas
