lterday he made a will, and this morn
ing attacked and killed his little son,
cutting his throat with razor, and
nearly severing the head from the body.
The victim was mere baby, being but
three years old. Later the mailman
finished his awful work by cutting his
own throat, and dying in few mo-
-ments after doing the deed. The fact
of Hebden having made will only the
day before committing the awful dou-
bic crime, is taken by many as evidence
that the act was premedtated. He
was an old resident, and widely known
throughout that region.
A special from Fort Apache says:
Lieutenant bravo, who left this post
October 25th, with d troop, Sixth Cav
airy, and Gatewood's Indian scouts,
has just returned. They secuted over
the Cibicu country. On October 30th,
the scouts struck small trail, and fol-

number, who made running fight, in

bodies left behind. The balance fed
Three days afterward, ON returning
through the same country, the CON-

the first fight. No casualties on our

A gentleman who. during the rebel
lion, held high diplomatic position in
Europe, says that the story of deposit
in England to pay the Confederate
bonds is absurd. The Confederates
kept their early accounts with the
Earrings. and even when most flush, and
at the time that they contracted for the
cruiser, were never known to have had
more than S3,0C0,000 or 81, 900, 600
available. All the other money was
absorbed by their purchases. They
had funds in the hands of w. Tren-
holm 4 Co., in Liverpool, and perhaps
in other cities, but no great amount.
The speculation in Confederate bonds
has no basis to rest upon, and must
soon explode.

house, and, it is supposed, got the pis-
toll away from him. In the scuffie the

effect, but it is not known who mad it
when it went off.
