The --latest Indian News.
EUREKA SPRINGS, via Wilcox,
Oct. sd.-My last report said that
the Chiricahuas had broke from
the sub.agency. This has been
verified by the depredations of yes
terday. Your correspondent left
Fort Thomas yesterday morning at
about the same time that the COM
mand did conveying about fifty
Indian prisoners to Camp Grant,
About 10 o'clock, as the command
was nearing Cedar Springs, a cou.
rier came riding back saying that
Indians had attacked a train close
to that place. The command rap.
idly hurried forward. Upon their
arrival there it was found that the
people had been bnrricaded in q
house, but the Indians had left
them and attacked Samaniega's
train of several wagons conveying
freight to the Indian Agency. One
company of the First and two of
the Sixth Cavalry Immediately
started in pursuit. Word was re-
oeived that q wounded man was
close by the wagons and the doctor
Immediately started for the place.
I went along. About half mile
from the ranch the wounded man
was found, shot through the leg.
Fifty yards further a man lay dead
and from there to the wagons, a
distance of 500 yards, two men were
found dead. By the wagons laid
another, shot through the thigh.
Down the road two more lay dead.
Out of seven men on the train, all
were killed but one. Men were
left to bury the dead and the
wounded man was taken with us.
In about three hours q courier
came galloping back announcing
that the command was fighting
and to send more ammunition.
LATER.-News just received on
the road says that the troops
fought the Indians for over three
hours. The loss, SO far as ascer-
tained, is one killed and three
wounded, besides several horses.
STILL LATER.-Col. Sanford and
Col. Bernard and their companies
have returned. They fought the
Indians until after dark, when they
ran, taking the direction towards
the Dragon Mountains. There
seems to be no doubt but what this
is the Chiricahua band under the
leadership Of Juh and Geronimo.
FORT GRANT, via Wilcox, Oct.
3d.-Four men were sent from here
yesterday to repair the telegraph
line, which the Indians had
broken. They were found about
eleven miles from Grant dead, and
all shot through the head. The In
dams cut the wires in different
places and all news has to be
brought to Wilcox. No telegraph
ic communication with Thomas for
two days.
WILCOX, Oct 3d.-Reports just
received say that Chiricahuas have
been attacked by the troops be-
tween the Point of Mountain and
Hudson's, supposed to be Major
! Mckenzie and command. They
are evidently trying to get to the
Dragon Mountains. Col. Bernard
arrived about 9:15 this evening,
with the Indian prisoners, en- route
to Fort Lowell.
