MORE TROUBLE WITH THE REDS.

received from Globe: Last Saturday evening
eleven men under Captain Lacy left Globe to
intercept the hostleS who are now out and to
prevent them from depredating in the valley.

seventy five Indians at the Middleton ranch

driven off

working their way back on foot. ArepreSen-
tative Of the Tucson Star, now here, has inter-
viewed Alonzo Bailey, merchant Of Globe,
just arrived. He reports there are not less
than $50 hostiles out on the war path, and
that they have their women aid children with
them. The hostiles belong to the White
Mountain Indians, and Bailey, who has had
large experience with them, says they have
gone out to stay out. The outbreak has been
expected for the last six weeks, and confirms
the threat made to Col. Bracket some time
ago by the chief of the White Mountain tribe,
that unless they were allowed to 60 and live
in Pleasant Valley they would leave the reser
walton. The first killing in the outbreak was
on the 9th inst, and matters now stand very
