More about the Maid.


Mr.. Shaw, whose mules were stolen
! lately BY the Indians, was In town last
Saturday, and from him we learn some
further particulars of the raid. Mr.. Shaw
was in camp about seven miles from Fort
Huachuca. About o'clock his herdsy
came running into camp and said the
Indians were running off the mules. Mr.
Shaw mounted his horse and riding to the
top of little hill saw four Indians about
forty feet from him just starting off with
his entire herd. He followed them about
q half mile and succeeded in getting back
five of the poorest mules. He then turned
and run his horse into Huachuca for
troops. In about an hour Lieut.. Bailey
and twenty men were ready to take IN
the trail. Mr.. Shaw acted as guide. and
they followed the Indians in an almost
direct line east to within about fourteen
miles Of Camp Rucker. Here Lieut..
Bailey thought it advisable to leave the
trail to search for water. The next day
courier was sent to Camp Kicker and
Lieut.. Bailey returned to Huachuca with
his command. We understand the trail
has not since been taken up. Mr.. Shaw
thinks that if few fresh men and a sup
ply OF rations had been obtained from
Camp Rucker and the pursuit continued
the Indians might have been overtaken;
at least their destination could have been
determined; and it would seem that this
information would be very desirable to
the military authorities.
Mr.. Shaw has been extremely unfortu-
nate, as this is the second time within two
years that this stock has been stolen by
the renegades. This time he lost eighteen
head.
A case OF "forcible entry and detainer

In which a good deal of interest was
taken by ranchmen. DR.. K. A. Wilbur

known ranch on the Arivaca, where
no Government surveys have ever been
made. He has done great deal to i'm.
