 GLOBE, August 27.-On the 18th iu- stant John Chambers and David Ander- son, while on their way to Globe, met ten or hft,en squaws and children and three bucks on Hawk canyon trail, ten miles from the Deer creek coal fields One of the bucks seized the mule which Chambers was riding. and held on till 1t Jerked it away. Frustrated in this he started for Anderson with his gun in hand cooked, who motioned him back. The Indian seeing Anderson had pis- tol in his scabbard, and being spoken to by friendly Indian, stopped. The two men then came on to Globe. Two of these Indians were supposed to be scouts, but they did not make known their intentions. Some eight or ten days ago ex-SherifT Lowler, of this place, and Fred NIilman, of Pioneer, who were returning to their homes, were arrested in that vicinity by party of Indians, forcibly taken to San Carlos and turned over to Captain Crawford, whereupon, giving satisfactory account of them selves, lhey were liberated. The trail where these peaceable citizens were ar- rested is travelled as a public highway, and a continuance of this imposition will probably result iE bloodshed. These arrests were caused by Captain Craw- | ford in compliance with an old order issued by Secretary Kirkwood, which ex-Aeent Tiffany and Agent Wilcox were not willing to take the responsibility of enforcing. 4 petition to the Secretary of War praying for protection and jus tice to the discoverers and locators of the Deer creek coal fields, who were re- gently forcibly eiected from their claims by Captain Crawford, has been circu. lated and signed by over 15O of the mos; prominent citizens of Globe. The feel ing here is strong and unanimous against the action of Crawford.
