RAsCALLY RENEGADEs.
Full Particulars of the Re. cent Raid in South
 eastern Arizona.

Tha latest information from the
 scene of the recent depreciation seems
 to be that the raiders were composed
 of desperate white men, Mexicans,
 and the old Indian renegades of the
 old Chiracahuas and Hot Springs,
 who have headquarters at Janos, Chi
 huahua, just across the Sonora and
 New Mexico line. A short time pre-
 vious to the stealing, small parties of
 of Indians, Americans and Mexicans
 desperate type, purporting to be
 prospectors, have been seen prowling
 through the country across the line
 on the headwaters of the San Pedro
 and Sonora rivers, making their way
 westward, which has eliminated in
 three distinct parties, whose execu-
 ton has been bold and so far success
 fully carried out. They made q
 junction of their forces in the mount
 aims between Canoa and Santa Cruz,
 one party robbing Pete Kitchens s
 ranch and killing the Shellenback
 brothers, pursuing their way across
 the Huachuca mountains, stealing
 Shaw's mules near Barbacomori
 creek and within ten miles of the
 military post at Huachuca, crossing
 the San Pedro the same evening at
 McCulloch's ranch, taking the Mule
 Pass road east. There a small band
 left the main body, entered Mule
 Pass and drove off all the stock in
 that camp, among which were pair
 of extra fine mules belonging to D. B. Req, of Tucson With this stock they joined the main column and headed for the Guadalupe canyon, in the southern end of the Chiracahua mountains. The pursuit of this body was promptly undertaken by Lieut.. Bailey, accompanied by Mr Shaw, who at last accounts were close on the mongrel devils. Some white men were seen with this party.
 The other band entered the Santa Cruz settlement, stole lot of stock there and headed for the upper San Pedro, robbed the settlers there, gathering in all about 100 head of stock, and then struck south of the San Jose mountain along the line, in the same direction as the other band. Simultaneous with this movement, a band composed of Indians entered the Fronteras settlement and the neigh boring country ofabout 50 head of stock and made directly for the American territory south of the San Jose Mountain, closely pursued by a small body of Mexican cavalry from Fronteras. This party was followed to the point where they crossed the line, tAe Mexican troops standing on that foolish and pernicious boundary dId not dare to cross our border with their stolen plunder. the band to all appearances joined the Santa Cruz raiders, who were hotly by the Santa Cruz and up | per San Pedro people, numbering about twenty, well armed and mount ed. They had taken the trail only a few hours after leaving the San Pc lro and had followed it energetically | lll day and part of the night, when they found themselves in close prox- unity to the party, just across the So nora line in the neighborhood of the old San Bornardino ranch, where by ] well.conducted movement they made a complete surprise of the ma -auding party, killing five white men md capturing fifty head of horses md mules. Two of the killed are ,aid to be Germans, who have been hanging around Charleston. The 'aiders were evidently composed of Americans, Mexicans and Indians, as Ill three classes could be plainly dis in the melee. The raid ITS DCiil1 G4uCn thO otAOb s5Coe ESeAA ty got away with about 100 animals. Ne learn that Lieutenant Blockson md Jack Dunn from Apache Pass, with 100 Indian scouts have cut the rail on the east side of Guadalupe Pass, and are in close pursuit after hem in the direction of Janos. We .nxiously await the result.
