Tucson, May 7th.-A special to the Tue
son Star from Fort Lowell, May 7th, says
Victorio attacked George Stevens ranch,
eleven miles from Rocky Creek canyon.
Captain Kramer, of the Sixth Cavalry,
whom Genaral Carr had sent to camp in
Ash creek to protect the settlers in that
region. and to search for Victorio, discovered
the attack by some of the Indian scouts be-
longing to General Blockman's company,
which Carr had sent to John Kramer three
days before On receiving the news, Kramer
left his camp Immediately with twenty-eight
cavalry men of his company, with advices for
Blockman to follow with the rest of his COM
mand, numbering twenty-eight Indian
scouts and sixteen men of the Sixth
Cavalry. Kramer met and attacked Vic
torio and about ninety indians on his
way to the ranch, and are fighting in close
quarters, with Blockman momentarily ex-
pected. At last accounts Kramer, when the
courier left, had several men wounded. Com
pany G, Sixth Cavalry, with two officers and
thirty-two men, were ordered from Camp
Thomas, also Company F from Camp Grant,
and are on their way to reinforce Kramer.
The former is expected to reach him tonight.

were killed. 1t is believed that decisive
battle will be fought tomorrow.

FORFEITS FOR FUN.

In evening games it often becomes neces-
sary to punish some one or more OF the
company by imposing "forfeit." The
penance should be something that either is
not easy to follow out to the letter-that it
has some catch in it-or puts the person in
a conspicuous and amusing light. In all
cases forfeit should be designed to amuse
the company as whole, and never to
offend the person called upon to pay it. In
order to illustrate our idea of good for
felt, and also to furnish suggestions to
those who enjoy and take part in
such pleasant amusements, we give a
few OF the forfeits that may be ina
posed Q.) Put newspaper upon the
floor in such way that two persons can
stand on it and not be able to touch each
other with their hands. This forfeit has
the honor of being old, but it was not our
good fortune to meet it until short time
ago, and be forced to "give it up" By
putting the paper in a doorway, one half
inside and the other half outside of the
room, and closing the door over it, the two
persons can easily stand upon it and still
be beyond each others reach. t2.) To 60
out of the room with two legs, and come
in with six. Not difficult, if person
thinks to bring chair along on the re-
turn. l3.) To act the dumb servant.
The person who has the forfeit to pay
must act out the answers to the questions
put by the master of the ceremonies as,
how do you make bread how do you eat
soupl etc. This forfeit will cause much
merriment if proper questions are put. a.
Put one hand where the other cannot touch
it. One can get out OF this difficulty by
putting one hand on the elbow of the other
arm. (5.) Place pencil on the floor SO
that one cannot jump over it. May be
done by putting it close to the wall of the
room. g. Put question that no one can
answer with NO! That is not hard if
one thinks to ask, What does YES spell?
IA Push a chair through fnger-ring.
This forfeit is made by putting the ring
on the finger and pushing the chair-any
other object will do as well with the fin
ger. This last much resembles the next.
(S.) Put yourself through key hole. This
was great puzzle to us for awhile but
when piece Of paper was taken with
the word yourself written upon it, and
pushed through the hole it was all clear.
There are many others of these amusing
little tricks, but those given will suggest
others, and help to make social gatherings
the enjoyable times they should be.

THE MUD wAsP's STRATEGY.

Ever since / was a little boy I have fire.
quent,y noticed that the nests of mud
wasps when broken in upon, would shell
out lot of dissected spiders and other in
sects in smaller proportion. l had always
supposed that even so formidable an insect
as wasp would hardly want anything to
do with good, full-grown spider, for
knew enough of the combativeness Of the
latter to presume that he would not meekly
submit to the sacrifice of his progeny to
satisfy the appetite of wasp. But one day
saw little demonstration which made the
whole thing very clear to me. You know
of the careful manner in which the spider
builds and incloses the nest in which
his young are brought forth and reared
Well, was observing one of these nests
one morning, when l saw a mud wasp
come buzzing along and alight within an
inch or two of it, on the side opposite
the opening. After all was quiet he
proceeded with his little game of STRAIT
egy. Creeping noiselessly around towards
the opening or entrance to the nest, he halt
ed little short of it, and for moment
remained perfectly quiet. Then reach
ing out one Of his antenne, he wriggled
it before the opening and withdrew it.
This overture had the desired effect,
for the boss of the nest, as large a
spider as one ordinarily sees, came out
to see what was wrong and to set it to
rights. No sooner had the spider emerged
to that point when he was at the worst
disadvantage than the wasp with move
ment quicker than wink, swung the rear
portion of his body around and thrust his
sting through the body of his foe, killing
him easily and almost instantly. The ex-
pertinent was repeated on the part of the
wasp, and when there was no response
from the inside he became satisfied, proba-
bly,, that he held the fort. At all events
he proceeded to enter the nest and slaugh-
ter the young spiders, which were after
ward lugged off, one at time. You see this
accounts fully for the spider Innings
which we always see in the nests of mud
wasps, and makes it all as clear as if that
particular wasp had told me beforehand
just what he proposed by his strategy to
accomplish. Now it is just such demon
strations as this which must convince us
of the intelligence of the lower ami
mails, differing only in degree and devel-
opment from the intelligence of man. OF
course, much of this goes beyond my CON-
prehension, but understand more about
it now than ever before, for have taken
pleasure in observing and studying not only
the habits of fish, but of many other
creatures inferior to man, which are popu-
larly supposed to be governed in their ac-
| tions by instinct. Seth Green.

A Prominent Citizen OF San Jose Charged
With Perjury.

Win feTJuFys
SAN JOSE, May 7th.-A warrant has been
served on General Fl. M. Naglee,s charging
him with perjury, the complainant being
who came into public notice couple of years
ago as plaintiff in suit for $25, 900 for
breach of promise against General Naglee.
The case was tried here, and the plaintiff
was awarded S27, 500 by the jury. The Cen
eral appealed the case to the Supreme Court,
and after it remained there until a few
months ago that tribunal reversed the de-
csion on the ground that the consideration
upon which the promise of marriage was
made was an immoral one. The alleged per.
jury was committed, it is claimed, during the
trial OF the case here.
The sprague Case at San Buenaventura.
SAN BUENAvENTURA, May 7th.-In the
Superior Court this morning the Sprague
case was taken up, General Cobb of San
Francisco, advising with the Attorney-Gen-
eral. Mr.. Raymond made sundry motions,
to the effect that he asked the Court, first,
to grant stay of proceedings for sixty days !;
second, to examine the records, and after
satisfying himself that Judge Fawcett's Or
der striking out the bill of exceptions was
incorrect, then to strike it from the records
or modify it. This being done he should ask
Lue OupTeiue OOuTt W recall lCS TcLDlCClIur,
and allow an appeal upon bill of exceptions.
He also claimed that the order being made in
chambers at Sacramento, outside of the dis
trict, vas itself illegal and void. He argued
these oppostions at some length, recapitulat
ing some of the extraordinary scenes at the
trial, when Judge Fawcett allowed specta
tor to call him (Haymond) liar while he
was addressing the jury, without rebuke
Counsel claimed also, that Fawcett, by ac-
cept ing a seat in the Constitutional Conven-
tion, abdicated his position as Judge. Mr..
Raymond will occupy the most of the day.
SECOND DISPATCH.I
SAN BUENAvENTURA, May 7th.-At the
conclusion of Haymonds argument, the
Judge held that he had no power to strike
out Fawcett's order striking the bill of excep-
tions from the records, but would certify that
| the records showed it to be incorrect in point
of fact. He then, counsel on both sides agree
ing, fixed August 18th for the execution, thus
allowing more than 100 days to appeal to the
Supreme Court. This is the third time that
day has been named for Sprague's execution.
THIRD DISPATCH.l
SAN BUENAvENTURA, May 7th.-Just what
transpiredin the Sprague case was this Judge
Temple decided that he had no power to settle
a bill of exceptions, but has determined
that the refusal of Fawcett to do so may be
reviewed by the Supreme Court, and that the
bill formerly presented to Judge Fawcett was
not as Judge Fawcett certified it to be-the
reporters notes, with arguments of counsel,
| etc.-but finds that 1t was amended from the
notes in more than three hundred particulars.
The opinion of Judge Temple is reported. and
will go before the Supreme Court. It is
deemed strongly in defendants favor, as lead
| ing up to new trial.
