 .. tiaut Converse and three enlisted men no llh Infantry were on their way from
 Lincoln on the Rio Verde to Bowers's
 t ,o fine Agua Trio, and when within about ,,lr. of their destination, they were fired ..oo by a party Of Indians who were lying in " ,.b n. thr head Of a narrow, brusby canon, ,,t. lieutenant and all three of his men were r.aiy badly wounded. Two of the animals were
 hlJly wounded that, after arriving at the ' ..t ,bcy had to be killed in order to put thc
 .- brl,es out of misery; another was also
 ,,lsd. The Lieutenant was shot in the shoul- ,ih an arrow. the head of which remains in sa.. Tb..parroW heads are dangerous things to N. .r. i.,bplled in a man, and we hope Dr. Mid T, .,, will b, able to extract it. We hate these ifj.n aenis so bad that it would grieye Us to tam kill a dog let alone a gentlemanly and ,r...1, officer. Two of the soldiers received bad z. irl. The Lieutenant fired three shots a, the ,riar IS devils and thinks he killed one of &e.n Hopeto. The party saw about eight fn- s.,. bnt there must have been a large reinforce regt of the internal miscreants close by. Dr. sJue.on extracted an arrow, head and all. from r. b'.h Of one of the men. It had penetrated st a. bone. anl. had it mol been taken ont. would '1,. Killed him or lamed him for life. An ex- ] ,rr.. w.- sent to Fort Whipple with news of the f,r. and General Gregg dispatched his ambu- tr-e nr the wounded officer and men, and they r nog at Fort Whipple We earnestly hope q may soon recover
 x. uae of tue men thought hc recognized the h. S.1. and we are informed that the whole party eol,l them {. be Apachc-lumas. One of the Il sa. bad Henry rife, out of which be fired xyera bullets. We are Of opinion that they se,e .o called Apache Yumas, a that two faced hnl of claihroats and liars range as far north as Efir Black Mountains The Apacbe-Yum4s are rp laer than the Apachcs proper for the reason q they profess friendship for the whites in one 5s.e. and kill them and steal their property in &er places. The whole lying brood of them dolli be killed of It is useless to talk abou; q .ing with them and putting them upon a res .Gy sion-they amt on it, and We know it as Nl if DO, better than those who have been Abering broken Cas.ilian to them for the las. hca monihs. What they want is to have hell |pladed out of them first, and then they may feel &poscd to come to " taw" This thing Of mak- IG treaties with the Apaches is as old as Mount aA A-ta Co ask tbc Maricopas, Pimas and Mo N es and see what they will tell you about it ;Ey, they would laugh in a mans face and think " fool for being so soft as 10 place any reli- uF in the word of an Apache.
