A Canard.

Don Julian Johnson, a very intelli- gent and cultivated gentleman, who was born in Sonora and resided there all his life, except sixteen years he spent in Cal ifornia, has been in this city several days on business, and will started yesterday morning on his return home, San Mar cial, sixty miles from Guaymas.
 Mir. JOhnson's attention was called to the statement contained in the tele- graphic dispatches from San Francisco, relating the particulars of the alleged capture of one Ambrose Lomprax by the Indians at the time of the murder of the railroad engineers in Chihuahua. This imaginative hero states that the Indians depredated around Ures, in Sonora, and committed several murders there, and afterwards they went to the Gulf of Cali fornia and crossed to an island. LOm- prax also stated that the Indians were under command of Victoria. Lomprax may be a very truthful man in some things, but in Mir JOhnson's estimation there are some very weak points in his rambling narrative. In the first place, Victoria IS good Indlan-that is, he Is a dead Indian-and 1t IS beyond the power of Lomprax to resurrect him. It has been fully proven that not more than thirteen Indians were in the band which attacked the surveyors, instead of forty-fve, as stated by LompraX. They did not and could not cross the country to Ores, and the stubborn fac remains that there have been no Indians, nor .depredations of any kind by Indians, in the vicinity of Ores for three or four years, hence this part Of LompraX's unfolded tale was purely imaginative Neither could they have reached the Gulf of California without cross ing the path of the Seres tribe of Indians, who are deadly enemies of the Apaches. In fact, the whole story Is a tumble of impOssibilIties and bears ev- idence of t on its face. The portion of Sonora through which the Indians must have passed is well settled and their pii- grimage would have been detected at many stages of their journey.
 But probably the best evidence of the absurdity of this sensational yarn Is the statement that the Indians held LOmprax as a prisoner, subject to e ransom. The Indians are not in the brigand buslness just now. They want scalps and not coin. Their attacks upon the whites are made in a spirit of revenge and to satlate their murderous desires. Their food, horses, arms, ammunition, etc, are Ob- tained by plunder. If they want money why did they tear up the Chihuahua pa per money and scatter 1t broadcast when they robbed the mails? Lomprax must have played upon the credulity of the San Franciscoans very adroitly to palm off such nonsense as facts, and hoist himself by such feeble threads of gauge into a coveted nOtori ety.

ESCAPED FROM THE INDIANS.
Particulars of the Chihuahua Tragedy by a Passenger on the nl-Fated Stage Soms New Facts Concerning Pugh's Death.

Mr. A. Y. Constock has arrived in this city from the city of Chihuahua. He was passenger with the late J. K. Pugh in the stage which was attacked by Indians opposite the Candelaria mountains, below Fl Paso, on the morn ing of the 3d of July Mir. Comstock states that he and MT. Pugh had been talking on ordinary topics and had no thought of possible danger. They were startled about three o'clock in the morn ing by volley fired by concealed par ties II. shallow arroyo by the roadside. The driver was killed by the first shot and fell from his seat As the mules plunged forward another vOlley killed two of them and the stage was brought to a standstil about fifty feet from where the first shot was fired. The sec ond driver, who had been asleep in the boot, immediately jumped to the ground and opened the stage door, saving " the Indians-run ] Messrs. Pugh and Comstock alighted almost simultaneous ly, the former taking a Spencer rife; MT. COmstOck had only :: revolver. They separated, making quick time across the open space into the mesquit brush. As certaining that no pursuit was being made, NIT. Comstock remained near by. hoping to hear a signal whistle from Mr. Pugh or the driver. From his position he could plainly hear the Indians break ing open boxes, but could see nothing As daylight approached he made a cir cult of some distance and gained the the road, and in a couple of hours reached the Rucero ranch, where he found the driver, who told him MT. Pugh had stopped about forty yards from the stage and refused to go further.
 4 party was made up at the ranch and the scene of the attack visited, where NIT. Pugh's letter was found, stating that he was a prisoner in the hands of the Apaches. The particulars of the discov- cry of his mutilated remains by a detail of Mexican troops, were fully given at the time in the telegraphic columns of the CITIZEN.
 The Mexican troops believe that the outrages were committed by a remnant of Victorio's band, with additions from various tribes, under the leadership of Mangus Colorado. The government has put l50 cavalry on the road, under con- mand of General Terreras, and protec- tion Is now given to travellers over that dangerous route.

DARK DEEDS.
The Dead Bodies of Two Me1icans Found in the Brush-Evidences of Foul Play-Murdered While Asleep


 Thursday afternoon Barcillo Barela, a Mexican who gathers wood few miles south of Tucson, informed Marshal Buttner that while chopping wood on the mesa, about nine miles from the city, he discovered the dead bodies of two Mexicans under a clump of bushes.
 Friday morning Coroner Horton and Marshal Ruttner repaired to the spot and found the remains, as described by Barela, lying side by side, as though the fatal messenger had struck them while asleep. Owing to the advanced state of decomposition, the bodies having been dead several days, no marks of violence could be observed, although the ground where they laid has the appearance of having been saturated with blood. No papers were found on their persons, or other articles by which they could be identified, and their features were be- yond recognition. They were appar- ently young men, one being about five feet high. and the other about seven inches taller. One wore a calico shirt, Mexican make, blue overalls, moccasins and a Mexican straw hat. The other wore striped gray pants, drawers, miners jacket, moccasins and a MeXi- can straw hat Near them were found some dried beef and other provisions, a small bottle of Florida water, pair of canvas saddlebags pieces of rope and Spanish bridle.
 - After a careful view of the bodies, a grave was dug on the spot and the re- mains of the unfortunate victims of the knife or bullet were buried.
 Marshal Buttner holds the theory that they were murdered while asleep, by one or more companions, and had evidently died without struggle. They were probably heading for Sonora, and the fact that they had studiously avoided the public highways Is regarded as evil dence of a design upon their lives by their guide. The whole matter Is a dark mystery, and will probably forever re- main SO, unless by accident the truth shall become known.

Death Of Hon. Gideon Brooke.

We are much surprised and pained to hear by telegraph this morning, from San Francisco, of the death of the above named gentleman ill that city, last even ing, of apoplexy.
 Hon. Mir. Brooke was an old resident of Prescott, known to everybody. He lived and died bachelor. He came to Prescott, in 1863, and engaged in mining on Lynx Creek. He was member of the Territorial Legislature in 1875, was 8 Supervisor for two or three years, and owned considerable property in this city. He was an eminent Odd Fellow, and was much esteemed by our citizens. He was aged about 50 years Prescott Dennnnraf

 Figures, they say, cannot lie and this should denote great prosperity in the district, and probably does, in the mines, but why, l wonder, are times SD dull, money so scarce and so many men idle in this charming town of Tombstone?

Florence Enterprise: Last Wednes- day morning. A. l.. Rogers started to cross the Ciila about six miles above town, with a wagon and team. While still in the middle of the stream an avalanche of water came down upon them, upsetting the wagon and entang- ling the horses so that they came near drowning before they could be extri- cated. Mir. Rogers lost his boots and coat and several articles he had in his wagon-box One of the latter was re- volver. The wagon hoated down stream and has not been found vet. We hope, however, that 1t will be recovered. The volume of water that swooped down upon the wagon so suddenly was at least two feet high, and must have been the result of a cloud-burst.

A fire broke out Tuesday night in q dance-house in Truckee, which ragged throughout the night, having destroyed every business house in town except three, and many residences. Among the heaviest losers are J. Sheridan, Sl2,000; \. E. Burckhalter & O., S10OOO; J. J. Adolph, S21, ,OO0; \. Babel, S10,DO0; J. G. Levison S Co, S25,O00; Andy Johnson, Sl2OOO; W. H.>Head, Sl2,OO0; H. Davis, Sl0OOO; $. Mack, S5,O00; J. W. Harrison, S100OO; Odd Fellows, S10,0O0. The re- 'mainder of the town was saved with much difficulty, the water supply being short. The losers show cOmmendable pluck, and rebuilding has already begun. The new town will be of more substan- tial construction than that destroyed The insurance will probably aggregate about one-third the loss. The demi- monde are houseless, and prevailing opinion favors allowing them to remain so, with the alternative of seeking other localities. The charred body of some person unknown was found in the debris. Besides this no loss of life IS reported Front street is filled with temporary buildings of those burned out, and lum- Der is constantly arriving for mere build ings Carpenters from Reno and neigh boring towns have come to labor, and none are turned away.
