Horrid Deeds of the Indians.
Murder of Three White Man

It once more becomes our painful duty to record the murder of three white Arizonians. by ruanly Indians, and we wish it were in our power to do SO in manner that would infame the hearts of our fellow citizens ,o such pitch as would impei them to go forth upon the war-path and seek immediate re- venge. But, we fear the time for doing SO is past. Our suffering people have become SO accustomed to the recital of such horrd deeds; have witnessed so many of them. without being able to retaliate upon the per petratos; have been plundered so often, that they now look upon such occurrcnces with almost criminal indifference. But, to our mournful task
 Sunday morning last, all was peace aud quiet on Big Bug Miners, mill men, team sten-, etc, were resting and enjoying them. selves after hard weeks work But there was one thing necessary to complete enjoy ment--the mail--wiih its letterS and papers had not arrived from the Agua Frio Ranch, distant about miles, and N McMilcn was preparing to go aud bsirg it, when ] r. Bot lock and Wm. fraley requested him to stay at home, and let them % after i;, as they wished to take ride. McMllen did as dc. sired and Bullock and Fraiey, mounted upon | good horses, and armed with Henry rifles and pistols, Sci out upon what they expected would be a pleasant journey. They soon reached their destination, procured the vel 'tome letters and papers, and started for Dig | Bug, which place poor Bulloek was not des- tined to reach alive When about one mile north Of Big Bug creek, and about two miles from the mill, they were fnsd upon by about ls Indians, who lay concealed ia the brush, close to and upon each side of the road. Ballock fell dead at the first fire, and ! Fralsy received three wounds--iwo from bui' lets, snd one from an arrow. One oi the horses received a severe wound Fraley rode on as fas, as he could. followed by tbe Indians for s,,me distance When within about G0O yards oi ibe mill, loss of blood, etc, had weakened him SO that he could not ride any farther, and be got oa bis hcrse. The two horses made tbeir way 10 ;he fnills ;hs peo- pie there knew, in an instant, whAt had hap pcned, and started down the road. They first found poor Fralcy, and earried him to ,he house. The body of Boiiock wss seS, found, taken to the mall and baried. FrAisy, with great foriitade, bore up under has wounis until 5 o'clock Monday Dornins, when be expired He was a native of Ken lucky, where his relatives DOW reside. Rul- lock, we believe, was . astire of Canada. Those who knew both uen, speak of them in the very highest terms.
 While the people of Presoot; were discuss- ing these marders, another, more horrible, II possible, was being enacted m ibc woods, To, over two miles from the plaza Thomas Rut. ledge, an industrious Euglishman had gone oat, Tuesday morning. 10 bring in A load of wood He did not return that Rigbt, which fact, a. sooa as it became knoEn, gave rise to the worst fears. So, early Wednesday morn ing, A party followed his wagon-irAck, until they came up with the vagoi, near which they found the body Of poor Ruilcdgc, cold ia death, perforated with bullets and arrows, and horribly matilsted. Tho head was al most mashed into jelly, by large, hsi rock, which the misoreants had flung upon i', and which stin covered it when the body was found Upon being trough, to town, no less than five bullet and arrow holes were found In his body.
 From Ru,ledge, the savAges got span oi horses snd q six shooting pistol. From the men Killed on Big Bug, they got two Henry rides and one pistol, besides the mail, which Cell into their hands. The arrows foand stick ing in these men have been carefully com. psTedwith those used by the Eastern Apaehcsr from which they differ materially, the great est difference being between the heads. That they were Apa che -Mohaves whe eonsitted these terrible crimes, is pretty generally be Geved and acknowledged J fI ~------~----- ~-----
