HOsTILEa AT HELM's RANCH.
for the Fate or the Occu-
 pants.

Henry Nevin, prospector we'll known
 to people in Tombstone, many of whom
 are wiling to vouch for his character for honesty and veracity, arrived here at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Novin states that he was prospecting in the Dragons, and campea at Helms ranch Monday night Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock he left the ranch, and had proceeded as far as Bowers Spring when a bullet wbizzed by him, Dsmounting from his mule rapidly, he took station behind his pacK bmro and glancing towards the foothills saw two Indians about three hundred yards from him. He brought his rifle to rest on the burro and took aim and had the satisfaction of seeing one Of the redskins drop. He continued firing at the other fellow, but MT. lnjun succeed
 ed in retreating beyond range by lodging from rock to rock. Neyin then mounted his mule and retreated as rapidly as his animals could move. He had not proceeded beyond mile when he heard q regular fusilade of rifle shots, succeeding each other as rapidly as Chinese fire crack CTS, in the direction of the ranch. He did not wait to investigate but made his way to town as rapidly as possible, There were thee men at the ranch: Chas. Helm, Schultz and teamster. They had plenty of arms, but much apprehension is felt for their safety. From the report of the shots, Nevin thinks there must be quite mum. Der of savages participating. As stated
 above, he saw but two, and one of them he converted from his wicked ways. Captain Hurst did not learn of Nevin's arrival until o'clock last evening, but took immediate steps on learning of the events above re lated, to dispatch a messenger to Captain Harris, at Antelope Springs. The Captain asked Nevin if he would be the bearer of the message offering to give him ten dol lars for his trouble Nevin accepted the offer and departed about S:30 last evening. It is presumed that Capt. Harris will repalr with his command to Helms ranch when he receives Captain Hurst's dispatch. It is to be hoped that Helm and his friends | were able to stand of the Indians, but much apprehension is felt for their safety.

Captain Madden Criticised.

Charles c. Clute, Superintendent of the c. NJ. X NJ. Co.,, Aver camp, has written an indignant letter to the Tucson Star on the conduct of Cap- tain Madden when appealed to for assistance after the recent Indian raid in the Chirichuahuas. Mir. Clute says:
 Captain Madden called me one side and l gave him plain statemen, Of facts; told him. my conclusions and gave him my reasons. l also told hin he could be put on line trail in fifteen minutes. Mr. Murray also told him the same. Peter Doyle, one of our men who has been scout, also volunteered to show him the trail, but no; he had not lost any Indians and said there was not an Indian within twenty-five miles of us; they had all gone-yanished like the baseIess fabric of vison or dream. Well, after taking a good meal they marched down the canyon again in good order. Finding we were to have no protection from the military and that not even a scout was to be sent out, l sent out provis- ions and men and had to abandon the camD.

Shooting ARray.

Between five and six o'clock last even- ing two miners named Pat O'Neil and John Fleming, became entangled in an argument at a shoemaker's shop on Allen street, between Fifth and Sixth. O'Neil was getting the best of the argument, and Fleming was gradually losing his temper Hot words ensued and epithets more vigorous han refined were exchang ed. O'Neal lost patience and challenged Fleming to a fistlc encounter. The proposition was de. clined, but both men were standing up confronting each other. The abuse con. tinued on both sides and Fleming received a we'll directed blow on the nose. ONeil had more or less whisky aboard and Elem. ing was perfectly sober The latter IS the stouter and stronger of the two, but instead of having it out" with his fists, drew a pistol and shot O'Neil twice. The first wound IS in the left groin and IS not serious ses as;;-tbe--otheff -h5aiHe; bullet perforated the left knee and is serious. Dr. Goodfellow attended the wounded man, wbo was immediately removed to his cabin. The first bullet passed through and the doctor extracted the second.
