CHICAGO, August ga special
from Socorro, New Mexico, says the
murderous red devils are now
ravaging this neighborhood and
killing off people by scores. Last
night rencOunter occurred between
them and some Mexicans at Pierce,
resulting in the death of twelve
Mexicans and two Indians, who
were captured and burned alive.
Reports come in hourly of fresh
ravages and murders, and a party is
beng hurriedly raised and armed
to 90 to the rescue of the
miners at Pueblo Springs, where
they are surrounded and i'll immi-
nent danger. Last evening a miner
and his wife are supposed to have
been surprised by savages as they
were returning to their mine, and
were probably tortured. The band
is part of Victories old band, led by
Nina, chief even more barbarous
than his predecessor. Unless the
indians turn their attacks elsewhere,
a general Indian war will doubtless
result.
A special from Santa Fe, N. NJ,
