place yesterday afternoon at Horseshoe canyon, between the Indians and the In dian scouts and troops, in which the lat ter were victorious. Four Indian scouts and three soldiers were killed and four soldiers wounded. Three Indians were seen at Leitendorf Wells, eight miles south of here, evidently reconoitering for water. Other small bands were seen go- ing south over the San Simon flat, be- tween Leitendorf and Stein's peak. A band of twenty or thirty Indians crossed the Southern Pacific railroad track at this point early this morning going north to- wards the Burro mountains. They left some broken down mules and stole all the water in the tanks. Mcdonald, a we'll known prOspector of this section, arrived from the Gila river this morning. He assisted in burying the bodies of twenty men yesterday and reports several per sons missing. Among the killed are John P Risque, a rising young attorney, of Silver City, N. M; Captain John w. Slawson, mining superintendent; Mir. Prescott, Alexander Knox, S. S. Pinkard, and Pinkard's hired man, name unknown. Risque and a mining operator named John R. Magruder, left Shakespeare for Clifton on Wednesday last, in a buggy drawn by two mules. The mules were captured and Magruder escaped. Dr. Welch reported by courier last night to O. R. Smyth as follows, "Over twenty people are known to have been killed on the Gila ranches, their wagons and hay burned and all the stock run off" Welch lost two mules killed and five stolen. The Indians have spread death and de- struction all along the Gila below Purdy's ranch and on the road to Clifton. The Indians number over three hundred bucks, squaws and children, as shown by actual count while passing York's ranch. Eighty soldiers and scouts, Perry's command from Camp Grant, and ten men from Pur- dy's ranch have joined the pursuers, and as previously reported, the Indians are completely surrounded and corraled in Doubtful canyon. Those seen at Leiten- dorf and on the San Simon flat last even ing are evidently stragglers from the main band. Captain Black, with twenty mount ed volunteers from the Shakespeare guards, are securing the country in hot pursuit. All the male citizens of Leitendorf, Shakespeare and Lordsburg are under arms. A strong patrol guard was main tained at each of these points last night. General Mckenzie has moved to Fort Craig. The entire country is aroused. Dr. Welchs family are safe at Clifton.
