Der with the conscious security felt after
such a successful rencontre as Lieut.. Hud-
son, of the Fourth Cavalry, made with the
Indians.
Poor ''Lo, . the pale face won't let him
marand, but continually modest his quiet
laconlc mind BY little sallies on his outward
trail. The poor Indians had evaded pursuit
for a long time, but Lieut.. Hudson's sagacity
was too much for them this time. The
Lieutenant practiced a ruse on the noble
Comanche which we don't understand, but
its certain success is enough to convince US
that it was a good one, as II left the savage
h0rs de combat. The Lieutenant dispatched
twelve Of them to their happy hunting
grounds rather prematurely, but the tend

braves a probably long life Of trials ard
hardships. Memory viii pay q tribute 70

From the San Antonio HERALD
Moro about Lieut. HudsOn's Victory.


Fort CLARK, December 10, 1873
Editors Herald-On Wednesday last, Lieut..
Charles L, Hudson, of the Fourth Cavalry,
while on a scout some forty miles from this
place, had tough little fight with the In
dams, in which he gained complete vic
tory Too much credit cannot be given to
this gallant officer for his earnest effort to
protect the helpless settlers on our frontier.
1t appears, from the official report, that
some ten days ago Lieut.. Hudson found
about forty Indian ponies hobbled out at the
place where the fight afterwards occurred.
He sent these ponies in to Fort Clark, and
waited there, rightly surmising that they
would return for them. On last Wednesday
they did return, and found Lieut.. Hudson
waiting for them. The Indians upon dis
covering the soldiers, took an advantageous
position and made signs for them to make
the attack. For once they threw down the
gauntlet to the wrong men. The attack
was made, and with such spirit that Mr..
Lo' was completely routed, leaving nine
dead upon the field, and many others were
doubtless killed who were carried off. Over
eighty more horses were captured and
brought in. The entire frontier rings with
the praise of Lieut. Hudson, and the people
are earnest in their desire that his gallantry
may receive the proper acknowledgment.

Attempted suicide.

Last evening, about five o'clock, a
Swede named Herbert W. Mulberry,
who keeps a small eating house at No.
l36 Beal street, attempted to cheat the
prevailing" out of one subject, and
while laboring under the too heavy pres
sure of beer, borrowed revolver, and
going into his room, placed the muzzle
to his left breast and fred, the ball pass
ing through his body and coming out
near the shoulder blade. He was alone
when he fred the shot, having pre-
viously driven his wife from the
house. his nearest neighbors did not
even hear the explosion of the pistol.
But his wife returning soon after, sent
their little girl into the room, where she
saw her father lying upon the bed bleed
ing profusely, with the pistol by his side.
The mother instructed the little girl to
bring the pistol out of the room, which
she did. DR.. Sim was then sent for, who
wanted to make an examination of the
wound, but was prevented by the would
be suicide, who stated that he wanted to
die and didn't care to have the wound
examined. An examination was made,
however, late in the night, with the re-
suit above stated.
Mulberry has, as his nOighbors state,
quarreled frequently with his wife during
the past three or four weeks, but has
kept sober until Sunday, when he started
on spree, and last evening beat his
wife so that she had to seek safety in a
neighbours house. That, with the liquor,
was doubtless the cause Of the act. This
morning our reporter visited the house
and found his wife tenderly caring for
him. He slept well during the night,
and there is a possibility of his ultimate
