The control which good locomotive

remarkable. A long time sgo some of
the depot attaches noticed that the lis
train from the south seemed to stop
daily at tire seltsame spot when coming

In gratitude to the Doctor.


The doctors who are called up in the

the pneumonia, are just as liable to go
without their pay when the danger is
past, as though they were called in the

An eminent surgeon was visited by

now we'll and brassy, cried out: "Thun-

Merciless SIaus hter by Indians.

The Indians have been committing erri
BILE depredations in the Rio Grande valley
and southwest of Fort Cummings for several
days past. On the 18th inst. company of
volunteers met the hostiles near Colorado,
Is miles from Slocum's rancho, but after q
sharp fight had to retire, with loss of five
men. Two trains were captured by the In.
dams on the 15th on the west side of Slo-
GUMS. In one of them eleven men, one
woman and one child were killed. In the
other all hands escaped. Both trains were
scattered and some of the oxen killed and
others left'standing in the yokes. Corpses
pie known to be killed within the last four
or five days aggregate about forty. 1t is
reported that nine men and two families
with the exception of two persons were
killed at Mowers rancho, $50 miles from
Hillsboro, the women being outraged pre-
vious to the killing, and the bodies of the
men burned. Lloyd's rancho, near by, was
burned, and several Mexicans killed. This
is the most persistent fighting the Indians
have been known to do in this section.
They are in large bands and seem determin.
ed to stay in the country and fight and
make general warfare.
A courier from Merritts command reports
that the troops are at White River agency
that they have been scouting throughout
the country for fifty miles about then and
have been unable to find single Indian.
It is evident that the Indians have gone
south and split into small bands going into
the various agencies. The troops will have
an all winter campaign to ferret out those
of the savage tribe who brought on the
trouble.
