HEADQUARTERS FT. STANTON,

The party of men styling themselves
"wrestlers," made up of renegades from
Texas principally, some of whom have been
partisans of the leading factions here since l
assumed command, have renewed their
Yesterday they attacked party of laborers
cutting hay near the ranch of Joseph E.
Chaves, five miles below Fritz's farm and
without the least provocation killed three
of the party, two of them sons of Mr.
Chaves. None of these men have in any
possible way been partisans or given
their sympathy to either par
ty. They stole what horses they could
find and proceeded to another RANCH
some fifteen miles further south, where
they attacked another party of citizens
putting three balls into one man, mortally
wounding one and badly wounding an
other. An express came in for surgical
aid, and l sent DIR. Lyon. Mr.. Kline, mail
driver, says neither he nor the driver below
him will make another trip without mill
tary guard 1 shall send one officer with
twenty men to meet the broken link in the
transit of the mail, with instructions to
give the necessary protection, and in case
it has been molested, to follow the trail of
the robbers and either arrest or kill them,
if possible. I have reliable information
that the gang of which these are part are
from sixty to eighty strong and are en-
route here now from Seven Rivers and
south of there. I respectfully ask in the
name of God and humanity that may be
allowed to use the forces at my command
to drive these murderers, horse thieves and
escaped convicts out of the country. The
wives and daughters of quiet and good citi-
zens are being daily insnlted by these des-
peradoes and are driven into the mountains.
