Apache Attack in Tucson.

arm and broke one bone, and stole four horses within the corporate limits of Tucson. The man Is an employee of Sabino Otero. The cattle made some suspicious movement, and on looking after the cause, the Apaches shot him as stated. They had just been at 0 house and cut off the picket ropes and stole two horses. Two other horses were stolen near by, one in and another just outside lot by| the Touring mill. Six of the Apaches| took three of the horses in an easterlyl direction and the remainder went west ward with the other one. It Is also believed that but for the herder' timely discovery of them, they would have taken the herd of cattle.
 The Apaches are growing bolder and more active in bloody crimes. At the rate they are progressing, they may yet get up some reputation for bravery, though their practices have ever shown them to be but thieves and cowardly murderers and torturers. Probably these are some Apaches un- der an obligation to their |" best friend" to rob the U. s. Depositary at Tucson, and they are working up their courage. Since the above was in type, we are informed that the h. dians also stole three mules and killed g. beef at the same time and place. /
 SAMUEL HUGHES Accompanied by L. c. Hughes and J. s. Vosburg) took his family out to Crittenden this week, where they are to remain awhile for change.
 MT. Hughes reports that on We'd nesday the Apaches attacked John Moore's ranch some dozen miles below Crittenden, drove all hands in the house and kept them there for nine hours. They killed and ate one horse on the ranch. In the meantime word was sent to the post and Lieutenant Stewart with some troops went to their relief, but the rain had fallen in such torrents as to obliterate all tracks, that no pursuit was made.

 WE called upon MT. A. c. Benedict this morning and found his wound in as good condition as possible-foot swell ed some but no inflammation. He is in fine spirits. The brilliant success of the fight wherein he received the wound, buoys him up. Probably in the whole history of Indian conflicts in Arizona. no one was moro nobly contested than this. The whole con- munity deeply sympathize with MT. B. in his misfortune, while they con- gratulate him on his successful fight.
 THE Apaches have this week in- creased Dr. Handy's list of patients by two. Another man received bad flesh wound at their hands, but he still remains out beyond Tubac. Probably the good, philanthropic Indian lovers who eat off mahogany tables and generally are on velvet, willI soon want to rush out here and beg to\ do the farming and herding of this Territory.
 THE mercury during the week has ranged from so to 94 degrees in the shade. Monday evening very hard rain fell, The streets were flooded and where the water was confined to narrow channels, deep ruts were cut out. Tuesday night quite heavy rain fell, and more or less all week The sky has been cloudy much of the time and Is this morning.
