property captured were 100 ponies and
mules, forty being loaded with plunder,
saddles, girtles, clothes, gold and silver
watches and several thousand dollars in
gold, silver and greenbacks, showing they
had been. very successful in their raids.
After the fight, most of those
who escaped came in. Altogether,
5S5 prisoners were taken. The
chiefs captured were Chato, Bonite, Ge-
ronimo, Nachese, Loco and Mana. The
Two latter were long reported dead. The
chiefs say that an American bow, six wears
old, who was captured one month ago in
New Mexico, is with the squaws in the
mountains. There is no doubt but what
he is Charlie McComas. Runners were sent
out and he is expected in hourly. After
