itor Of this city recsived lettsr from Hon.
u. +. Ware. brotneT-in.law Of Judge Nc
Comas. recently killed by the Indians near
Silver City, giving an outlins Of the situation
in the Indian ccuntry and the efforts nov be.
ing made to recover Charles McComas. the
little son Of the Judge, who was captured by
Indians when they killed his parents. The
good offices of the Governors Of chihuahua
and Sonora, Mexico. have been secured, and
a large reward has been offered and photo
graphs circulated through the entire Indian
country. The whereabouts of the boy is not
known, and but little hope is entertained of
his recovery during hostilities. Should q

the party In whose hands he is be attacked

he will be killed at once. The letter says the
feeling against the Indians among the people
throughout Arizona is very intense, and they
are strongly opposed TO allowing any Indian
reservation to remain in Arizona.

it and be poisoned. The agent says the Iu-

find subsistence where they are in camp. As
long as they remain there trouble will be con-
stantly arising.
