CAMP BOWIE, May 31.-Indian scouts have just come in from a trail of hos tile Indians who have gone in the dl- rectiop Jf Stein's Peak. They recov- cred tel letters, three papers and two postal cards. The papers and few letters were badly riddled with bullets supposed to have passed through the mail bag and back of the horse.
 Since writing this, I have learned J that the blackboard bound west was ' corraled about five miles from this post, on what is known as old wood camp road. The Indians would have, no doubt, killed the driver and all pas sengers, had not the driver seen an In l 1Ian get behind a better fortificatinn and hence immediately turn the buck board round, and make a stand. The Indians were held at bay for three hours and exchanged fires, when for tunately for the besieged, a party of troops, consisting of fourteen men came up and relieved them. The h. dians seen numbered twelve, and in dications show larger party was there.
 The horseback rider going west from here, left the post at 93O a. m with mail and a dispatch to Lieut. Touey. who has since arrived here, and he having seen nothing of the rider nor blackboard driver, it is too evident the rider has been murdered. Lieut.. Ruck- CT with his company of Indian scouts and twenty men left here in hot pur suit as soon as the news was received. The body of the rider has been found in the canyon this side of Bowie
