under Capt. Lacy left Globe to intercept the
hostiles who are now out and to prevent them
from depredating in the valley. Last Monday
they were surrounded by seventy-ive Indians

now here, has interviewed Alonzo Bailey,
merchant of Globe who has just arrived. He
says there are not less than $50 hostiles out Oh
