Another Indian Outrage.
One Hundred IndiaHs aftack Elerea Hhite Hen, Wound SLr of Than, Capture 24 Head oJ Cattle, and Tons cJ' Corn.

 The hell-hounds of the Reservation are again on tbe war.path, and our citizens will do we'll Co look out for them About o'clock | on the afternoon of the 9th instant, fully 100 painted savages attacked, at the foot Of Grief Hill, within plain sight of Camp Verde, on the Verde River, in this county, a party of II whtes-9 soldiers and 9 citizens, who were escortng and driving two ox-teams and wagons containing corn. The men had pass ed what they considered the most dangerous places, when, of a sudden, volley of bullets was poured into them from the vicinity of juniper tree near the road. At the first fire from the Indians. six men were wounded, and two head of cattle killed. Two of the men are said to have received dangerous wounds and, in one or two cases, at least, amputation will have to be resortcd to. The soldiers and citizens fought the sayages until their ammunition gave out, when they were ! forced to abandon wagons, teams, corn, every thing, to the Indians, and retreat to Camp Lincoln. Our informant stated that the h. dians were all armed with guns, and that they did not, as heretofore, try to conceal l their persons, but came out into open ground and emptied their pieces at the whites. The names of the wounded men. as far as we have been able to learn, are, Sergeant Mcyay, pri- yates Whitcomb, keenan, and Daly, of Com pany B, sth Cavalry. The wagons and teams were owned by Mir. Starkcy; the corn be- ] lnnged to Bowers < Rre Shortly after the arrival Of the soldiers and teamsters at Camp Lincoln, Colonel McConihe, commander of the post, Thad. Adams, post guide, and a party of soldiers, started for the scene of the encounter, and, upon arriving there, found neither oxen or corn. Strange as it may appear, the savages had packed of four tons of corn-that, too, over one of the stecpest and longest hills in the country. It is not to be supposed that they packed it for any great distance, but they no doubt concealed it in some place where they can draw from it whenever they need it. The Colonel and his party came on to Fort Whipple. At Ash creek, they found an OK which had, evidently, broken away from his eaptors.
 This is big victory for tho Indishs-tbe wounding of whites, and the capture of 24 head of cattle, four tons of corn, a lot of pro visions, blankets, etc There being 10 eaval- rymen at Fort Whipple, the commanding officer cannot pursue them, at present, and unless Lieutenant Curtis, who is now out on a scout, should fall in with them, there is no larger of their being molested. How long , 0 Lord, does Government mean 10 allow such outrages as this to be committed upon its citizens and soldiers

VERY SIcKbY PLAcE.--A recent private letter tToas s gentleman of Tucson t5 Bsi. V. Wells, of this place, states that during the past six months, fully 600 persons have died and been buried at Tucson, and that sickness and deaths were on the increase. The mum Der of deaths among so small a population as that of Tucson surprises us, more especially when we know that they have occurred dur ing the fall and winter months. What caused so many deaths, is not known to us. The people and authorities of Tucson should en- deavor to find out the cause of these deaths, and if possible, take measures to stop the ravages of the disease. If that cannot be done, tho town should be abandoned It is the night of folly to undertake to build up B town in such a notoriously sickly locality, when there are thousands of better and healthier town sites in the Territory. It is passing strange that the Tucson paper has kept mum about this dreadful mortality in its Co sn

THE FIRE ON THURSDAY NIGHT.-
The fire on Thursday night was caused
by the destruction of . barn ON a farm
belonging to DR.. Bray. about two
miles above the city, better known as
the "old Inkenbrandt Place" Ben
jamin McCutchan mas occupied the
farm, and the barn contained all his
crop raised sduring the past season,
embracing large amount of hay and
corn. How the fire occurred is not
known, and will probably ever re-
main mystery; but the flames we're
first noticed while the family were at
supper. DR.. Bray's barn was insured
for 81 600, divided in equal amounts
between the Hartford and Home In
surance Companies. MeCutchan's
grain was insured for $500. divided
equally in the same companies but as
he also lost large lot Of harness,
ETC., his loss will be quite heavy. He
had just finished hauling his corn to
the barn. ass
