INDIANS ON THE WAR PATH.
Professor ClifTord's Skirmish With the
Apaches.

TUCSON, A. T., August 11.-Professor III.
B. Clifford of Washington has just returned
from Ures, Sonora, where he has been ex-
amining mines for an Eastern syndicate.
On the afternoon ef the 5th, inst. he, with
James Walton of Ell Paso, was attacked by
band of Apaches 30 miles southeast of
Ures. Walton was seriously wounded in
the left shoulder, and Clifford received a
wound on the right side. Clifford saved
Walton from falling into the hands of the
Apaches by holding him on his horse till out
of their reach. He states that that section
of Sonora is swarming with Apaches.
Advices from Hermosillo, Sonora, under
date of the Sth, say that parties just arrived
from Ures report the Apache depredations
in that section as most fearful. Over 200
warriors are in the Mazatian Mountains,
near Ures, and make daily raids ON the
valleys in small bodies, burning crops and
houses and numbering the inhabitants. Dur
ing the past IL days As persons have been
murdered within radius of 25 miles of
Ures. Lazaro Valencia, a worthy citizeL of
Ures, and two prominent government Off
cials are among the murdered.
Last week the Indians attacked the Ranch
Viejoe. The fight lasted about four hours,
and four of the ranchers were killed and the
remainder wounded. Nine Apaches were
left on the field. The approach of body of
Mexican troops caused the Indians to re-
treat. The Apaches are from the San Carlos
agency and all are armed with Winchester
rifles and use cartridges stamped U. s. The
Mexicans are poorly armed with muzzle
leaders. The country is terrorized, business
is paralyzed and the settlers are fleeing
from their ranches to Ures. All the aVaila-
BILE Mexican troops are being concentrated
to act against them.

"stop That Man with the BOARD. ,'

About o'clock last night there was a
hurrying of feet down Market street, below
Fifth, and an energetic shout of "stop that
man with the board" The cry was taken
up, and down the street the crowd came,
some calling "stop thief" but no one aware
of what was the difficulty. The chase
ended at Fourth street, on the pavement of
the Wilmington Clothing House, and per-
haps 200 persons were excitingly asking
each other what the trouble was. 1t was
discovered after much difficulty that dog,
and not woman, was at the bottom of It.
A party of men were playing with dog on
Market street above Fifth, when the animal
suddenly bit a man on the leg and left.
The fellow seized piece of board and started
in pursuit He didn't catch the dog, which
wasn't mad, although he was, but was
obliged to explain the situation to his
pursuers.

Congress has adjourned, but according b

and in due time will publish hundreds of
speeches of ambitious Congressman which
were never delivered. They will all
go into the Congressional Record and they
will be sent to the constituents of their
authors as specimens of their elOquence and
oratory. The whole thing is a fraud, a
swin0le and an outrage on the taxpayers
who have to foot the bills. The Congres-

lAOH PITS.

The Milford Chronicle in its last issue has
the following points Of interest at the pre-
sent time
Peaches have been paying fairly this week.
Fair fruit sold for from 81 to 81 80 per crate,
while poor fruit paid little over expenses.
A party OF four wOrkmen, employed in
erecting evaporators, took board near their
work in Cedar Neck, for which they were
charged 25 cents per meal, and at each meal
salt trout was placed before them. They
stood this bill of fare three days, when they
shifted their boarding house to a colored
residents domicile, where they obtained
poultry In the place of salt fish and for the
same charge.
The scene around the depot from Q a. IN,
until after the fruit train leaves is well
worth waiting TO see, to those who are not
familiar with the sight. Dozens of fruit
wagons wait impatiently for teams to un-
load. A dozen solicitors for consignments
clamor at each new arrival, enlarge upon
the merits of their particular house and
make things lively in general. A good
solicitor will make for his share of the sea-
sons work about 5000.
The demand for labor in our canneries
and eyaporators is not appreciated by those
who are not directly interested. To supply
1t is now costing the fruit packers much val
liable time and money. q. NJ. Howell has
been over in Maryland after 100 hands, and
has put up restaurant for their accommo-
dation several Others have imported whole
families, yet the demand is not half sup
piled. Mr.. Howell will run his cannery in
Milford Neck ON tomatoes, principally 80 as
to relieve his large establishment In Mil
ford.
The Houston Packing Company took
time by the foreloek, and have, TO a great
extent got helm that has settled with them
permanently. They gave the ground to
persons of families, who would build and
live there by this liberal method about 10
or 20 families have been induced to settle at
Houston, and they have steady work at
living prices. AS result of the generous
dealing of this firm the country surrounding
it is rapidly improving. Barns, houses,
fences, stock, crops and the land all bear
marks Of prosperity and improvement.
