been killed and the Indians have captured
all the stock of earns & McConkey's stage
line from Eagle station to Black Range
Yesterday thirty.six citizens left San Mares
cal, armed and mounted, to bury dead
bodies of the killed. At noon yesterday
while eating. dinner in Red Canyon in the
San Mateo mountains, they were surprised
by Indians and on the first fire one man was
killed and several wounded and stock cap
tured. Remainder of the whites got be-
hind rocks and dispatched two men to Fort
Craig for help. General Hatch ordered
Lieut.. Guilfoyle's command of so men then
at Fort Craig to the scene of the fight where
they have probably arrived before this time.
Couriers have been despatched to two COM
panies of cavalry scouting in San Mateo and
Cuchiilo Navajo mountains, and Lieut.. Tay-
lors detachment of Indian scouts is guard
ing and scouting the Black Range. Two
companies of cavalry leave Navajo reserva-
tion for Black Range tomorrow. Thus far
seven victims have been gathered in by the
recent raid. Gen. Hatch is of the opinion
that some Navaioes have joined the Apaches
as there is about 60 Indians in this party.
The agent of the Mescaleros reports his In
dlans all on the reservation, which is not
true, as they have been recognized in the
recent fight. When these Indians have
been pressed they double on their trail and
scatter, and when once on the reservation
they are safe.

district Jail last evening elected the follow
ing information in regard to Guiteau When

laboring to gain th- good will of those about

changed and exhibits great irritability, man
ifesting a wish to wreak speedy vengean :e
upon any attendant who offends him.

march of nations towards that political
emancipation which gives every man voice
in his countryss government, believing un-
der such government only can nation per-
manently prosper"
