WILCOX. Oct. 8th The teams
that went out with Wagner's COM
mand have returned, the road
passing through San Simon being
impossible. Their supplies were
placed upon a pack train.
The troops are now moving
across southeast of the Chirlcahua
range, towards Mexico, to inter-
cept the hostiles in that direction.
The trail supposed to be that of the
hostiles, which was reported in the
vicinity of the San Francisco
Mountains turns out to have been
made by the company of cavalry
that made the recent scout.
The count at the sub agency re-
ports that only the hostiles are out.
This must mean the Chiricahuas
(the George and Bonito bands), not
less than 100. The number in the
bands is not known.
A supply camp has been estab,
lished at Camp Rucker and rations
ordered there for Beruard's troops.
