troops are sent out to punish them

has the following special from
Wilcox: Forty bucks, belonging
to the White Mountains, and their
chiefs came into Camp Thomas
yesterday to have a talk with Gen.
eral Wilcox. They have been
hitherto recognized as hostiles.
They are doubtless the same party
that attacked Carr. They related
the history Of the sale of coal beds.
1t appears that Croker, the rail.
road msgnate, sent one Stanborger
to stipulate with the Indians for
their interests In the esal bed, of.

for their title. At fret they refused
| but Tiffany urged them to take the
money, which they did, at his COM
mand. There are but forty men
now in Camp Thomas and less
than that number here.
