miles north of Tucson, on the morning of the 25th, and captured 20 head of cattle and four horses. They were pursued the same day by a detach- ment of 20 soldiers from Lieutenant Bendire's company, and four citizens. A party of eight citizens followed on/ the trail separate from this detachf ment. The soldiers have not yet beef heard from, but the citizen party hal returned and report that they fol lowed the Indians on the trail towaH the San Pedro to near the summit If the mountain, that the Indians killeR several before reaching this point, ana that when they approached near tha summit about noon on the day the stock was taken, they overlook the h. dians intrenched behind rocks ahead of them. They saw about thirty h. dians and found it impossible with their small force to dislodge them. The Indians came out upon the rocks and taunted them by saying that they had plenty of beef and the stock, and if they would come up they could get them. The party .camped on the trail below the Indians all night in hopes that endorsements would come up, but were finally obliged to retreat without attempting to get the stock. On the 21st the Apaches took three horses (all he had) from Hickman, two miles above Tubac. A party of citizens followed them into the Pata- gonia mountains, but failed to over take them. The stage driver saw h. dians in the Picacho Monday night.
 We learn since the above was in type that Lieutenant Bendire went in person with eighteen men after the Indians, and not having g. good trailer with him, lost the trail and returned without finding them. It is his inten- tion to at once take the trail and follow tho Indians if possible until he finds them.
