TUCSON, April pa correspondent
at Stafford = gives an account Of the re-
cent Indian attack, as follows: STAN
Illus Mestas, aged nine years, has just
arrived from Stevens sheep camp with
the following story of the Indian mas
sacre on the 9Th inst. Before daylight
the Indians attacked the camp whilst
we were all asleep. My father and
five other men attempted to get their
guns but were too late. The Indians
rushed in from all sides and over
powered them before a shot could be
fired. The work Of slaughter then be-
gun. An Indian put his gun against
the head of one man and fired, blow
ing his brains against the floor and
walls. saw them kill my mother
and two little brothers by beating
their brains out with stones. They
killed five and then tied my father and
tortured him most dreadfully. He
begged them to spare him, but they
only tortured him the more. When
they were tired of torturing him one
of them split his skull with ali axe.
An Indian squaw, wife of one of our
four friendly Apache sheep-herders,
who worked for us, saved my life by
holding me behind her and begging
them to spare me. When all the
Mexicans were dead except me the In
dians left.
The squaw who arrived with the
boy says there were ninety-three war
riors in the attacking party. They
called themselves Chlricahuas and
said that they were going straight to
San Carlos agency to kill all of the
whites and get more Indians to join
them. They also declared that they
would kill all Of the Inhabitants of
this valley. The hostiles frequently
declared that their whole desire was
to kill in retaliation for the three In
dams executed recently nj Fort Grant.
The people of the valley have gathered
here.
Later news from the front is that
| the whole force of about three hun
dred Indians, including women and
children, crossed the Southern Pacific
track last night, going south, near
Lordsburg, with the cH-a'ry In close
pursuit. The present outbreak Is the
most disastrous which has ever oc-
Cured In Arizona and not less than 40
persons have been killed. Tonight a
mass meeting was held here. Gov.
Tritle presided and it was determined
to raise force of volunteers to take
the field for two or three months.

storm at selma.

CHICAGO, April 25.- Times Selma, AL
ALBANIA: On Saturday night points
east and south of here for distance Of
from IA to 20 miles, were visited by a
combined wind and rain storm that in
fierceness surpassed any similar oc-
currance there. The cyclone proper
lasted only five minutes and ranged
over track about twelve miles in
length and quarter of mile in
breadth. Everywhere In it's course
houses were blown literally to pieces,
fences torn down and immense ferest
trees twisted from their trunks and
carried away. Several brick houses
were blown offsmooth with the ground,
and brick and mortar found hundreds
OF yards off, Five lives were lost, and
and when complete returns are in it Ia
thought the death list will at least be
double. At DR.. ]. H. Wheedon's plan
tation near King's Landing, every
tree. bush, fence and house on the
plantation was swept clean off the
face of the earth. The doctor and his
wife and all other whites on the
plantation escaped with only q few
bruises. Two negro women and one
boy were killed outright, two women
expected to die, and two children were
painfully hurt. One woman was
pierced through and through her body.
There IL great damage to property at
other plantations and three lives are
lOst.

NUMBER 81.

How WILL THEY LIKE IT.-"Capt.
NJ. G. Wilkinson, who is in charge Of
the Indian school at Forest Grove,
says the Hillsboro Independent, has,
by authority of the U. s. Government,
leased 40 acres of land near the grove,
which will Immediately be put under
cultivation by some of the Indian boys
SO as to train them to farming. Mr..
Samuel Walker, the owner of the
land, an experienced an intelligent
farmer, has been selected as superin-
tendent of the farming operation"
This will prove crucial test. These
young aborigines may take kindly to
grammar, geography, algebra, comic
sections, the calculus, crayon drawing,
music and all the other branches of o
finished education, but if this pious
and intelligent farmer succeeds in cul-
tivating a love for the art of farming,
which, as Washington says, is the no..
blest, healthiest and dirtiest of all
professions, in them, they may be
considered thoroughly civilized. The
chances are that If they are kept at
grubbing, plowing, hoeing for short
time, they will long for their native
haunts and sigh for the times when
they stuffed themselves with camas
and knew nothing of the art of farm
ing.

M. Frewer, of New York city, gave
a reporter some information about i'm
mense cave deposits of bat guano in
Uvalde county, Texas, just become ac-
cessible by recent railroad extensions.
There are several caves Inhabited by
bats of different species. The entrance
OF the smaller of the two large caves is
about fifty feet in height and twenty
feet wide, on the side of q low hill.
The bats begin coming out of this en-
trance every evening about 4:3O and
pour forth like thick black cloud un-
til after ten o'clock at night. They
go to vast marshes, where they OBJ
tain food and return to the caves in
the morning. Analysis made shows
that the deposits contain over ii per
cent. of ammonia, beside bone phos-
pilates Of value in considerable guam
titles. The analysis compares very
favorabIy with any Peruvian guano
now in the market. Until recently y
man named May owned the largest
cave and wanted S12, 900 for the prop
erty. He said that the quantity of
guano in that cave was SO enormous
that he would lease it to q company to
work without limiting the quantity OF
guano to be removed annually, for
$1,000 year and he was satisfied that
the deposits could not be worked out
in hundred years. The work OF get
ting out guano has only just begun.
The first shipment was made from Ci-
bolo cave a short time since. On the
analysis made this bat guano will be
worth from $50 to $500 per ton. The
Uvalde caves have not yet been
touched. Large gangs Of men will be
at work In them very soon.

The New Northwest, published In
Philadelphia, has the following In re-
gard to the Northern Pacific railroad
grant: "The land granted to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co. can not
be forfeited and recovered back into
the public domain for the breach Of
any condition contained In the COM
pany's charter. 1t was irrevocably
granted for the construction and COM
pietion Of the road and Its line OF tele-
graph. The only penal consequences
that can follow the breach Of the con-
dition to finish the road by the time
designated IN the charter, is that Con-
gress may do any and all acts aud
things necessary to its speedy COM
pletion.' Really, the constitution Of
this great corporation 10 80 unique and
90 impregnably strong, that stock
gamblers, blackmailers and rivals
ought to feel Encouragement, when
they conspire to use Congress TO make
money out Of it, or delay or damage
its mission"

DAKOTA AND MONTANA.

Bismarck Tribune: If one thing
more than another shows the superior
ity of the country traversed by the
Northern Pacific railroad it is thee
slant increase of immigration along
its completed line. While the Gen.
trail and Southern Pacific roads must
depend upon their traffic for the bulk
of their business, the northern rival is
developing region rich In every re-
source for the niaintainance of large
and Industrious population, the local
traffic from which Is certain to become
q prime factor in the earnings at an
early date. Dakota, Montana, Wash
ington and Oregon, are each at pres
ent capable Of sustaining larger pop
ulation than the entire Territory COM
prised in Nevada, Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico.
This fact is causing a remarkable
immigration from other States and
from Europe. Towns are springing
up all over Dakota, boasting of their
500 and 1000 inhabitants, with schools,
churches and banks-all within sim
gle year. The wave Is now breaking
over into Montana, and enterprising
town lots in embryo cities far out on
the Yellowstone, 100 miles in advance
of the track-layers. No other trans
continental line IL capable of such
progress, and the fact is constantly
becoming more apparent to the thOus-
ands of energetic and industrious peo-
pie who are seeking new homes. The
stampeders into the Winnipeg coun-
try, who will be seeking relief from
their predicament as soon as summer
opens, will swell the population along
