The Captured Chiricahuas
TROUBLE FEARED IF THEY ARE NOT RECEIVED AT THE
RRSEK0 ALTON.

An Associated Press dispatch from Wilcox, Ari-
IONA, says that II the Indian agent at San Carlos
does not receive the captured hostles serious re-
suits may be anticipated. The hostiles are now
waiting to surrender near the Mexican line but
will not do so unless they are first assured OF
good treatment on the reservation. Runners
have already returned to the line with the inteli-
gence that there are from $50 to 175 able bodied
warriors yet to surrender. A repetition OF the oc
currence OF April ~, 1882 is feared at which time
the hostile ApacheS came into the reservation
and fOrcbly took out Loco and his followers The
reservation Indians fear the Chiricahuas and
would make very weak resistance. The hostiles
fear General Crook and IL his judgment prevails
all will be we'll, otherwise there Is still trouble
ahead. The Indians now out are well armed and
have plenty of ammunition,
