HURDEROUS APACHES IN SONORA.
Citizens Being Murdered and Property

Charles Valasco, Of this cIty, received l letter from a friend of his whom he vouches for as reliable. dated at Oposura, July 29th ultimo, which reads as follows:
 write this letter to give you some in- formation about what has recently trans pired here.
 On the 22d mt. about 16O Apaches passed through Nacor: They killed two men and stole a large lot of cattle. Colonel Bandola, with a few federal troops and some volunteers, started in pursuit. On the 26th ut. tFe Indians stole l9 horses from a place about eight mics from here. The horses belonged 10 some Americans.
 On the 9th nit. they stole some mules from Manuel Moreno and Susano Mon tauo. The same Indians passed through -he ranch Of Reyes Vildosola, near this place. and stole six mules and two mares from the corral of said ranch, and killed Mariana Moreno, Jose Sotelo and Jose Montana. servants of Reyes VIldsola. A force o' 25 men started in pursuit of the Indians. but could not overtake them.
 l. Is really a sad state of affairs. These important towns are continually suffer ing from Apache depredations, and there seems 10 be no end to it. sI

Rev. Father Gallagher Speaks for
 Gallagher,
TnvHsrnNe- Anrns. 1n IS.

TOMBSTONE, Angus; 10, 1883.
 EDITOR CITzES-Dear Sir: In your issue of the 7th instant appears an ar,i- cie signed "Citizer, from winch I eun the following extracts:
 "Soon afterwards it became noised around that the Rev. Father Gallagher, parish priest Of the Catholic Church here, and select c0terie Of his Catholic friends were on the street electioneerIug strongly for what is called the New Board and it was reported that tie Reverend Fatler hal publicly declared on the street corner that the public schools and the instruction they cive were a disgrace 10 the city and Tern tory. or course it may be denied thai there was any such Catholic attempt tn control our schools or that there WAS any special religions support given to the New Board, still It k certain that the priest took unusual interest ID the election, and it was the belief that such an attempt was being made that caused the excitement"
 have DO recollection of using the language attributed to me regarding the management Of the schools. It is true, however, that had heard that certain abuses existed, and l would have been derel,ct in my duty as a teacher Of nor Hls had I failed c. express my convic- tiors. Together with many eminent Protestant diyines and an almost united Catholic clergy am ID favor Of the de- nomlnationai system Of edacaIor. af al present conducted in Protestant Eng land, and I fe=l It would be in bad taste for me to attempt to regulate system Of inst uction to which I am opposed. ! For this reason I refrHHed from voting. nor did attempt to influence others. Had l done 70, I certainly could have influenced my Sunday School children, two Of whom I noticed p-ddhnc tickets for tbe "Oid Board" Ny action was probably more guarded from the fact that a member Of the Board O., Trustees told a prominent legal gentleman of my acquaintaa ce, some days prior to the election that WAS going lo oppose one of the members reelected, on account of a misunderstanding | had with his daughter, member of my church and former orgaui-t. Evea it I had a griev- anca, it amuses m5 To think the gentle man could believe ne capable Of show ing it in such manner. No, Mr. ElI- tor, the report is @ canari, manufactured out oi gholec,oth for political purposes, as neither the defeated azpirants nor tie members elect -re Cat ollie. As your editorial was based on false prrmlse-, I hope that, in iastice Co your Catholic patrons, you vii give O. uIde B public ity t3 another one on the evil eGecJs of tLat perniciuus system of eIectoncetin originating with interruptions Hti- cians. which appeal- to the p ejud.ces of he misinforued.
