The Texas and Pacific Railway
surveying party have applied for a
military escort, which has not yet
been granted. The course of the
survey leads them through the
San Carlos Agency to Globe and II
is feared the Indians may be sus-
picious of their movements and
give them trouble. Surveying
parties have always been "choioe
morsels" for the Indians, and
should they suspect that 1t was an
attempt to steal their lands, they
will probably attack the surveyors.
The feeling up the river among
the friends of York and Moore il
intense, and it will be dangerous
for any Indians to appear there, as
the settlers don't intend to be
slaughtered by pretended friends.
The citizens are well organized and
armed and appear to think they
are able to take care of them
selves.
