Lieutenant Colonel George W. Schofeld
of the Sixth Cavalry, was killed by the dis
charge of a pistol at Fort Apache, or the

the statement, and think it must have been
an accident. Col. Schofeld has been in poor
health for some time. He was a brother of
Gen. Schofeld. His death promotes two
officers of the Seventh Cavalry-Beenteen to
n maioralty and DeRudio to n captaincy.

The Butte Inter Mountain, of the 2Sth ult,
says The friends of rancher named Bean,
who lives in the Jefferson valley, are consid-
erably alarmed over the fact that he has not
been seen since II o'clock ON the night be-
fore last. His team is uncalled for at Carr's
stable, on lower Main street. When last
seen Bean had some S400 about his person
and was in bowling alley with some friends,
but since that time no trace of his where
abouts has been obtained. Foul play is
feared by some, but City Marshal Smith
thinks the missing man will turn up all
right
Four Indians, said to be Flathcads, mads
their appearance at Rocky Point a short time
since. The Riuer Press says that after doing
little trading with Bob Main they started
off, but ere they had pursued their way very
far stole some thirty or forty horses from the
half-breetls and proceeded TO skip out with
them. 1t happened that one Of the owners
of the horses, who was out hunting, came
upon the thieves the next day, and recog-
nizing the animals, he got under cover, and
when the Indians came up opened fire on
them unexpectedly, killing one of them and
putting the others to flight. He recovered
every one of the horses.
