 Los ANGELES, Cal, August 3O.-Dsn
 H. Barting, of Guaymas, a mining part
 ner of Boss" Hessing, who arrived in
 this cIty to-day, says that the reported killing of Hessing IS a canard. He left
 HessIng but few days ago miles away from the scene of the murder. He says
 the report grew out of the killing by
 Apaches of two men named Chord and
 Noble, whom Hessing had sent to Quay mas to procure money to pay off his hands Dan Bsrting further denies all
 the stories in circulation in reference to
 a revolution in Sonora. He says the
 government has merely called out troops
 to suppress the Apaches, who have re-
 gently become very bold in that State.
 Dan Barting says that direct railroad
 connection will be made between Ben-
 son and Guaymas in few days.
 Dr. Gregory and Mir. GuZmaD, who
 just arrived here from Sonora, report
 that the two men stated in the above
 dispatch to have been killed arrived all
 safe before they left. It looks as if
 there WAS considerable wholesale lying
 gong on about affairs in Sonora.-ED.

 CHARLRsTos, A. T., August 30-Re-
 ports are constantly reaching here of
 depredations and murders committed
 by Indians along on both sides of the
 Mexican line and on the Sonora and
 Santa Cruz rivers. Some are undoubt-
 edly exaggerated, but it is certain that
 there are large number of hostiles on
 the warpath in that vicinity. Ranch
 men and settlers are crdwding into
 Calabasas for protection. It is reported
 that there was a fight yesterday
 between the Indians and MeXicans
 troops near La Noria, also that several
 men were killed in the Catrinas. Mir
 T. B. Johnston formerly in busi- ness in this place was murdered near the San Pedro Custom House
 on the 2Sth by the Indians. Troops
 left Fort Huachuca yesterday morning
 and more are m readiness to move
 upon the receipt of reliable information. 1 The success of those out is not vet known.
