Indian Atrocities and Depreda-
tons in the Far West.

SAN Francisco, Oct. l6.-A dispatch
from Tucson, Arizona, says a special
dispatch TO the Daily Star from Silver
City contains the following: The In
dlans have been committing terrible dep
relations in the Rio Grande Valley and
southwest OF Fort Cummings for sever
al days past. The people of Colorado
City have been besieged aud fighting
since Saturday, and appeal for aid On
Sunday volunte er company OF thirty
men, under Captain &. Crouch, went
from Mesiila and Cruces to their aid
They met 100 Indians near Colorado
City, lo miles from Slocum's ranch, on
the side of the road. After a severe
tight the volunteers were compelled to
fall back. They had a running firht i'm.
to Slocum's ranch. The killed in this
light we're w. L. Jones. county clerk OF
Donohue county, and four Mexicans. -
On receipt OF The news ut Messila two
companies OF eighty men were raised.
commanded by Col. Rynerson, and com.
posed OF the best men in Messilla Val
ley. 1he companies were 10 Join
Crouch's command to-day at Slocum's
and go TO Colorado City. Two trains
were captured yesterday on the west
side OF Slocum's. In one OF them III
men, l woman and child were killed,
but in the other all hands escaped
Both trains were scattered, and some OF
the oxen were killed and others left
standing in their Jokes. The stage
from the east arrived this morning two
hours late. The number of people known
TO have been killed within the past four
or live days reaches an aggregate Of
about forty. The Indian trail leaving
the stage road yesterday leads towards
the Black range and the vicinity of the
llillsboro' mining camp. Major Morrow,
OF the ninth cavalry, with strong scout
ing party, is thought TO he in the vicin-
ity of Colorado City. This is the most
persistent fighting the Indians have
been known to do in this section. The
Indians are in large bands and seem de-
termined TO stay in the country and
fight and make general warfare

a point where he knew the water below
the dam TO be more extended and
free from rocks. Then, throwing his
body suddenly against the boat, and
running along until he was within few
feet of the dam, he sprang into it and
passed over with it.
A moment or two the light vessel, as
i. sprang out into the air. stood poised.
and then went plungiDg down.
The fearful plunge was made in safety.
The bow struck the seething waters be-
low. and glanced out from the whirlpool

Which was the coward?
The words reached the ears OF Logan,
as he gathered with the rest of the com.
pany around Wilson and the pale, trem
bling girls he had so heroically saved
Fair lips asked the question. One maid
en- had spoken to another, and in q loud
or voice than she had intended.
Not Edward Wilson, said Logan. as
he stepped forward and grasped the
hanl Of him he had so wronged and in
suited. Not Edward Wilson lie is
the noblest and the bravestl =
Wilson made al effort to reply, but
he was for some moments too much ex.
cited and exhausted to speak. At last
he said K:
i only did what was right. May |
ever have courage tor that while live
Afterwards lie remarked, when alone
with Logan:
1T required far greater exercise oil
courage to forbear when you provoked
and insultCd me in the presence ofthose
who expected retaliation than it did TO
risk my life in milldam.
There is moral heroism that few can
appreciate. And it will usually be
found that the morally brave man is
quickest to lose the sense of personal
danger whcn others are in trouble.

A Derelict Contractor.

Health officer Townshend yesterday ad-
dressed letter to II. Clay Jones, the con E
tractor for removing garbage, calling his attcn-
tion to the fact that the collection of garbage
is not being performed in accordance with the
terms of the contract. He states that he was
led to look ovor many faults, owing to the fact
that the contractor was working under many
disadvantages from lack Of experience. "a
recent investigation" DIR. Townshend says,
"into tho working of the service under
your charge proves that nothing in
substance has been done to encourage
continuance Of this belief" The vehicles
used are not Of the uniform kind required, the
barrels have not close covers, and the general
appearance of everything connected with the
service is such as to reflect only discredit
thereon. Therefore" the letter concludes,
lit becomes my duty to inform you that unless
l see within ten days convincing evidences
that the work will in future be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms Of your
contract, shall consider it incumbent upon me
to report tho facts TO tho District Commits
sioners, and relieve myself from further re-
sponsibility for your neglect"

in which deceased was held by surviving

afternoon of James Ford, one Of Allison
Majors faithful coored drivers, who dropped
dead Of heart disease last Saturday night The
remains were incased in splendid walnut
casket with bar handles, silver ornaments, and
u plate on the lid inscribed James Ford, died
October 10, 1879, aged % years." and the pro.
cession moved from Spearo's undertaking
warcrooms, on + street, proceeding to Frank
lin Church. where the services were performed,
rs well as subsequently, at the grave in the
Young Mems cemetery, by Rev. William b.
Jefferson, who paid morted tribute to tho
good qualities of the deceased as an upright
man aud faithful employee. Immediately
following the hearse was the team so long
driven by deceased, festooned with mourning,
tho horses lod by liveried men wearing white
sashes, similar to those worn by the pal.bearers,
who walked on either side of the hearse, in full
livery also. On the top of the collin was the
silyer-buttoned coat and velvet-banded hat
of deceased, and every feature was so novel and
appropriate that all the pedestrians on the
sidewalks along the route looked OH steadily
until the cortego of nearly thirty carriages
passed from view. Among those in attendance
were Mr.. Allison Nailor, jr., and family, and
Others, whose presence was intended as their
last tribute to humble but genuine worth.

THE DE1TH-BED M.iRRIAGE.
Judge Macarthur Decides the Best Case In
Favor OF the Widow.

Judge Macarthur Decides the Best Case In
Favor OF the Widow.
The case of Amanda Best against Peter Best,
Charles Best aud four other defendants, which
has been before the Equity court for some
time past WAS decided yesterday by JuNtice
Macarthur In favor Of the plaintiff. In
March, 1876, altor an illness of about one week,
Anthony Best died, possessed of certain real
and personal estate. A short time prior to his
death, and in the presence Of number of wit
nesses, he was married to Amanda Jones, who
had charge OF his household affairs aud proved
herself faithful and devoted for several years
prior TO the consummatiOn aud constant
nurse during his sickness. After tho death of
her husband, and some two months later, tho
estate was administered upon and she was ap.
pointed administrators. Tho hoirs-at.law,
however, without recognizing her right,
stepped in, collected the rents aud disposed of
the same without making or allowing any
claim for the widows dover In the money SO
received. She proceeded against the heirs in
the Probate court, aud from Justice Olin Sc
cured decree establishing her right
of Just claim in the estate which was con-
tended against by the brothers of Anthony
Best Failing TO obtain the widows diyision
of the money collected from the estate, she, in
February last, entered suit against the par.
ties who had assumed control of the property,
TO recover $4,000, which was claimed as her
dover The defendants answered the bill by
denying the legality aud validity of the mar.
riage, or that she had any Just claim against
the estate. The case was referred to Examiners
Cruikshank aud Oliver to take testimony, aud
when completed tho issues were made up aud
the case set for hearing Messrs. Jordan and
j. Ambler Smith appearing for tho widow aud
Messrs. Hine and Pelham for the defendants,
In the course of the hearing only portions of
tho testimony were read, but sufficient was
presented to show that not only was the mar
rage ceremony performed in the presence
of competent witnesses but that the con.
trncting parties were fully aware Of the ma
ture OF the contract which they were max.
ing. II was proven by the testimony of sew
eral witnesses that Anthony Best had declared
when in good health his great regard and ad-
miration for Mrs. Best aud the existence Of an
| engagement 10 marry at some future time.
In rebuttnl the defendants impugned the
| character Of the complainant and tlied TO show
thar Anthony Best was not in condition to
know the consequence Of the compact he was
max ing, aud that his illness was taken adyau-
tago Of for that purpose After tie case had
been argued on both Sides Justice Macarthur
made a decree declaring the marriage valid ,
that the widow was entitled 10 her iull dover
IN the estate, and that she must be paid her

The Washington Schuotzen Verein turned
out about sixty strong last evening, headed by
the Marine Band and after q snort Inarch
proceeded to the residence OF Mr.. Edward Alb
ner, tho Schuctzon king on Ninth street, and
rendered him a serenade IN accordance with

partake of his hospitality. The invitation was
accepted, and in few moments the spacious

speech making, SC, and the party separated
at an early hour this morning, not forgetting
to give three "er lebe hoch" for their king.
