INpIANs.-The country west of us is
rumored to be full Of these red ma
rauding rascals. The party CON-
hitting the depredations on the
Medina last Thursday, numbered
ton, all dressed as citizens, looking
like COW drivers, armed with guns.
About the same time q raid was
made into the Atascosa country,
perhaps by the same band. A let
ter from Mr.. W. G, Durand to his
brother in this city says that Mr.
F. Curbin lost all of his horses, an d
that Col. J. A. Navarro, Henry Ma.
varro, M. Flores and in, fact the
neighborhood generally lost heavi-
ly. The horses Of the Messrs, Du-
rand were run, to the very. walls of
the house, when the dogs attacked
the Indians and together with the
noise of the inmates they were run
without securing SPOTS. The poll
cy Of the government is not the
proper one to be pursued, it strikes
us. Plenary powers should be
given to the military to operate all
over the Indian country instead OF
| in tho interior, and then if there
is any dash and daring in the
troops, It will be developed and the
lives and property Of the defence.
