KANSAS CrTY, Oct. IA Deming IN.
M special says: ID. H. Leroy and
George Wilson left here on the 18th of
September for the purpose of rescuing
Charles McComas from the Apaches,
and returned today. Arriving at Casa
Grande, they found that Juh was killed
on the 2ist, by falling from his horse
while drunk, into the Casa Grande Riv-
er. Geronimo succeeds him AS chief
Wilson and Leroy mad much trouble in
gaining an interview owing to the I'M
settled condition Of affairs. In ignoring
Juh's son in the succession and in the
fact that the Mexican soldiers were try
ing to get this Indians drank presumably
with view to massacre them. The en-
bassrdors finally secured an interview,
and offered Geronimo 100 bolts of cali
co and 700 cartridges for the boy. The
chief said that the boy was with Juh's
widow on the mountains, and she would
not want TO give him up. but that he,
Geronimo, would compel her to release
the child upon payment of the ransom
for him. At this juncture the Mexican
soldiers appeared, and the chief broke
off the interview. Leroy and Wilson
were unable to sec him again and re-
turned unsuccessful. Further steps,
however, will be promptly taken for the
rescue of the child. Geronimo claims
to have LEO warriors and there are about
600 Mexican troops in the vicinity. LIE
roy and Wilson are we'll known citizens
OF Deming and their statements are re-
liable.

the United States District Court, today
gave decision of Importance affecting
enlistment in the United States army.

service, and four days after doing 80
deserted, but was apprehended. He
came into court on habeas corpus. The
Adjutaut General made return that
Deming being a soldier, should be tried
by courtmartial. The court decided
that the enlistment of Deming WAS in
the nature of civil contract, and he
