ports while on the Indian trail with nine
Americans and twenty-six Mexicans, yester
day, about half past eleven, the Indians
dumped" on the miners and Mexicans in
Colorado Cannon, about thirty miles west of
here. 1t seems the Indians countermarched
and doubled on their trail, and then got on
either side of the Mexicans and Americans
and opened fire from both sides and in the
rear, surprising them and for a while demon
alizing them.
The fight lasted from half past eleven till
dark, when it was found that five men were
wounded and one killed. The Indians were
seen to pack their dead on horses. They
also captured all the American and Mexican
stock. man named Mitchell was in COM
mand. 1t. Gilfray has just left with de-
tachment of colored soldiers and his Indian
scouts.
Evidently more than one party of Indians
were out, and the Mescaleros have undoubt-
eddy been reinforced by Name, now Victoria's
remnant More fighting must take place in
a short time as the Indians are now surround
ed on all sides by scouting parties.
