Indian Superintendent at the Colorado Reservation, saw the body at Mint Valley on Wednesday lsst, and says there WAS one shot between the eyes and two m the breast. The body was not mangied or stripped.
 VA. Stephens, F. A Copeland and others, arrived in town Tuesday, from the Verde Valley, and report that on Saturday, the 2oth inst., J. Callaghan was attacked by lndians' on Beaver Greek; that he had hard fight and killed two Indians, but nearly lost bis life He got three wounds, from needie-gun bullets, one in bis neck, and two in his arm. He got out of the scrape and reached Camp Verde weak from joss of blood, where his wounds were dressed He had but just re- covered from wound in his arm, inflicted by Indians some weeks ago.
 Mr. Stephens states that plenty of Indian fires were visible at night in the mountains, |betweeu Camp Verde and Prescott.
 On the Agua Fria, near Wormser & Vert heimers ranch, another of those horrible slaughters has been perpetrated, tue bare re- cital of which causes chill to stop the heart of the bearers for moment. Tue redskins have murdered George W. Smith and Joseph Alderman.
 On Friday, the 18th, General Crook called at the ranch, on his way home from Camp Mcdowell, and saw the two men ploughing. On the 22d, Lieutenant Michler and Thomas Moore passed the same spot. going from Fort wbipple 10 Mcdowell, and foand the body of one lying near the house and the other nearly half mile away. The bodies were stripped and disfgured and the coyotes lad partly eaten one of tbe bodies. Ieui. Nj. at once despatched a messenger to Gen eral Crook with inc Dews, and after giving the bodies careful burial, went on bis way.
 The sad news reached Prescott "Wednesday morning. and was quickly circulated
 Both men had lived in Prescott til lately, when they went to the ranch to put in a
 
 spected by all as an upright, industrious man. Mir. Alderman was German and good cit izen. Such men are loss to any community.
 G. ". Barnard arrived in town late Tues day evening, from .Ebrenberg He came 10 Skull Valley with Miller Bros. freight train, and not wishing to go to Williamson Valley, left the train, at suldown, on horseback, alone, and took the upper trail from Skull Valley to Prescott. He got on this side the divide, and his horse suddenly took fright and jumped out of the trail into the brush, and Barnard had some trouble in getting him back. and when he did. he saw, much to his surprise, just before him and near the trail, a fire which he at once understood must be m an Indian camp. As he must come on, he put spurs to bis horse and tore away down the steep trail, every hair of his head feeling as big as a pipe stem; and after reaching the timber at the foot of the hill, heard the yells of the sayages behind and above him. The trail is little used, and along the divide is al ways dangerous place when Indians are in this section of country.
 On Wednesday, we also learned that the Reds have been making sad havoc with the cattle of Campbell Baker. Their herd was taken from Chino Valley, for better feed, sey- .ral weeks ago, to Mint Valley Wash, and aiierward out on the line of the Mohase road, near Oaks and Willows. Indians used occa- sionally to nip a yearling or fat steert while the herd was at Chino; and now it appears that quite large family has been living off the herd for weeks. Many cattle were not to be found, and search showed the work of the Indians, as the cleaned bones of many a "crittern were found in the hills near the cattle range.
 One report says nearly l50 cattle are miss ing; another that the loss since the herd left Chino will not exceed lo0 head.
 When the news reached Fort whipple. q squad of soldiers was sent out to hunt up the depredators. Dan o'Leary, who knows the country between here and the river like a book, went with the party as guide
 A party of Apachcs visited Tubac. Pima county, early the present month, and stole % head of beef cattle. And, soon thereafter. they stole three horses from man named Thomas Gardner.
 Mir Simmons reports that after the fndi disns took his pack-train, at Bradshaw, b, followed their trail some miles toward th, Agua Fria and recovered one or two strag- gling mules. His final loss was eleven head
 The morning after Simmons mules were taken, Pierce Dorgsn, while out hunting alone, between the Tiger mine and Mime hahs, was set upon by Indians and had | very narrow escape. The reds we're armed .w'sh old style Government guns and bow: ano arrows, and fired great many shots al
