TOMBSTONE, April 11th.-John Lyons, q
Well-known citizen of this county, on Friday
last, while at work in the shaft of his mine
near Tres Alamos, had just put in blast and
lighted the fuse, whsn on reaching the top OF
the shaft he beheld four mounted Apsches
rapidly approaching. As they saw him
emerge they increased their pace, aud their
6endish yells relieved Dir. Lyons from all
doubts az to their intents towards himself.
For an instant he was paralyzsd with terror.
Being entirely un3rmed, resistance was not
to be thought Of, while escape by fight was
equally impossible. His frat impulse was to
hurl himself into the shsft and be blown to

him. Suddenly, with the instinct of despair,
Mr.. Lyons threw himself behind a pile of
rock close at hsnd, and at the same instant
the blast at the bottom Of the shaft exploded
with terrific effect, throwing shower OF rock
and debris high in the air, which was followed
| by dense volume of smoke rolling up from
| the shaft. The indians, who were now sure
