Infant Weimer's profound bass, and Sir

noiter. He soon returned, pale with dis
appointment BY the Old Harry, boys"

MORE MASSACRES
ARE REPORTED IN NEW MEXICO
rreaeherous .,scouts DeceIvipg tho
Troops and Desertins-A Com
pany OF Volunteers Massa-
cred by Red Devils

San Francisco, Oct. 21.-A Tucson
dispatch says that advices from Masilla
by mail say that among those killed by
Indians in New Mexico is W. C. Kinds,
United States collector. A large body
of Indians are reported concentrating
between Colorado and Hillsboro. It is
currently reported that company of
Indian scouts have deceived our forces
and Joined the enemy.
A Tucson dispatch says letter from
Silver City, New Mexico, gives the fol-
lowing account of the slaughter on the
18th. Arriving at the scene of the
tragedy we found sixteen persons dead,
which we buried. Five others are
known to have been killed, who we
have not found No Indians are about.
II is reported that they have gone to
the Mimbres mountains. About one
hundred and fifty scouts, lately with
Col. Morrow In New Mexico, have re-
turned to Arizona, their term of enlist
ment having expired. They refused to
re-enlist. This probably gave rise to
the rumor that the Indian scouts had
deserted and joined the enemy.
Gov. Wallace is now at Las Vegas.
1t is believed that victoria's band is
trying to go through by the burro
mountains to Mexico. Col. Morrow
says he has troops enough to whip Vic
toria, but that it will take month to
do 1t. He needs a couple of light how
itzers.
Volunteers are being raised at Mes
silla and Las Cruces. In the Indian
fight Oh the 18th the Messilla and Los
Cruces company, numbering thirty,
were massacred by one hundred Indi-
ans, only one man (Hicke) escaping.
The stages leave here regularly for
the east, as though there was no
trouble.
