THE COURTS.
Supreme Court.

The State. of Minnesota, respondent, VS..
Herman Baumhager, appellant.
Syllabus-The defendant was indicted, tried,
and found guilty of the crime of embezzeling
public money in his possession as county
treasurer.
Held. Following State VS.. Munich %, MINI.
g. that the Indictment sufficiently AYERS the
Office of defendant and the character of the
funds embezzled.
Also, the first possession being lawful, the
act of embezzlement consists in a certain
sense, in mere act of the mind without any
outward and visible trespass as in the case of
ordinary larcency, and that this act of
fraudulent appropriation has taken
place, may be inferred from the
conduct Of the defendant. Hence in
this case the facts (Which the evidence fairly
tended to prove) that defendant having come
into possession of an order on the county
treasury, which he knew that his predecessor
had redeemed, but had neglected TO mark paid,
falsely marked it as paid and redeemed by him
self, and falsely credited himself in the books
of his Office with the account as disbursed by
himself, and subsequently returned it to the
county auditor as paid and redeemed by him.
self, and fraudulently obtained credit therefor
upon the books of the county auditor, consti-
tuted sufficient evidence to warrant the jury
in finding an actual conversion by defendant
of public money to his own use, and therefore
is sufficient to sustain the verdict.
Judgment affirmed. MITCHELL, J.

INDIAN MAS SACRE.
The Killing of Thirteen Surveyors by Vic
toria' 8 Band.

tor1a Band.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2.-Ambrose
Loneprax, of Natchetoches, Louisiana,
arrived IN this city from Mexico to-day.
He was with party of surveyors that
were attacked by Apaches south of Ell
Paso, in the state of Chihuahua, of
whom thirteen were killed. Lone
prax says he joined the party the
day before the attack The night before
the massacre he lost his horse and hired
a boy and thought he saw Indian signs.
The next day the party started On, and he
fingered halt mile behind them. When
the party was among the sand hills the
lighting began. Loneprax says the party
had no leader, and did not know how to
light Indians. He tried to join the party,
but was taken prisoner, and would have
been killed but for the Mexican boy who
and told the Indians that he
was wealthy and could be ransomed He
was then secured and did not see the fight.
The surveyors fought desperately against
the Indians who numbered forty-six, of
whom six were killed and nine wounded.
All the whites were killed, six of them be-
ing dispatched while lying on the field
wounded. Loneprax says the Indians
were under rigid discipline. After the
battle the Indians took Loneprax into
the Sierre Madre mountains where they
buried their dead For more than a week
the Indians committed depredations
in Sonora, committing a num-
Der of murders. They went
down the coast to the Gulf of California,
and in crossing to an island Loneprax
made his escape and got safely to Quay
mas after seventy-f five days tramp.
Loneprax says the Indians were under
the command of Victoria, as he knew
that chief very well by sight. Loneprax
is on his way to Washington to lay the
subject of the massacre before the gov
ernment
