Geronimo's Daring Feat
TOMBSTONE CA. T.), Sept. 25.-I
1t has been learned to-day, upon
the most reliable authority, that
the leader Of the band Of Indians who
rescued two squaws from Fort Apache
on Monday last was none other than
the willy Geronimo, and the squaws
we're his two wives, to recover posses
sion of whom he left the Sierra Madres,
successfully evaded the military Gordon
along the Mexican line, traversed again
his old trails through New Mexico,
killing the few unfortunates who fell
in his way, again eluding. the troops
near the Mongollons, into whose fast
nesses he disappeared, and no more
was heard of Geronimo until he en-
tered the enclosure of Fort Apachee
under the very shadow of the COM
officers quarters, secured his
prize and had flown. Information
based upon official military dispatches
is to the effect that the cunning chief
tain, after gaining access to Fort
Apache, bribed a friendly White
Mountain Indian to show him where
his wives were concealed, then speed
lily effected their capture and fled with
his followers.

The ApacIes
TOMBSTONE "a. T), Sept go
James Hennessy of Tombstone, inter
ested in the cattle business in San
Simon Valley, received private tele-
gram this evening, stating that his part
ner, Michael Heating, had been killed
at his Whitehall ranch in San Simon,
and that William Shanahan is missing.
No particulars are given. The news
arouses much interest, and fears of In
dian trouble in this vicinity are re-
doubled. Added to this intelligence
the following dispatch from Benson to
the Eaening Tombstone confirms the
belief that the killing was the work of
Indians Con the train at noon, while
passing four miles west of Cahis station,
Dragon pass, we saw twelve or four
teen mounted Apaches riding in great
haste toward the reservation" Mac
Farlane just in from Chiricahua brings
word that section is full of Indians.
Yesterday morning band of Apaches
passed within three-quarters of mile
of Gray's ranch, and the troops six
hours behind them.
Orders were received last night from
General Crook for four companies Of
cavalry to concentrate on Eagle Creek.
Lawton's command is at David's Nor
mon settlement, San Pedro Valley, to-
night. The cause of this sudden order
is not known, but it is supposed that
the military are cognizant Of the move
ment of the Apaches toward the reser-
vation, the renegades having eluded the
vigilance of the military forming the
Gordon along the line, and making for
San Carlos, resorting to their usual
practices en- route.
Tucson "a. T. Sept. .3o.-Advices
from the front say: From fifteen to
twenty-five hostile Apaches had camped
in Guadalupe Canyon, four miles north
east from the station of Troops H. and
G, Fourth Cavalry On Monday night
Major Davis, with 1877 scouts, came
upon the trail and were in hot pursuit,
and camped on the spot. Captain
Dorst Of Troop K, with his command,
left San Bernardino Sunday evening al
6 o'clock, not knowing that the Indians
were in such close proximity. There
is strong probability that he will cut
off the return OF the hostiles to the
Sierra Madre. Sergeant Errison Of
Lieutenant Lockarts command, Troop
E, with ten men, followed in another
direction, SO that it is highly probable
that killing of Indians will be the
result in few days.
DEMING IN. M. J, Sept. 3o.--Lasl
night signal fires was seen in the Burro
Mountains Troops in the neighbor-
hood were stationed on the old Cooks
Peak and Florida trails. AT daylight
this morning band Of hostiles passed
to the south and west of Deming, and
the railroad track four and one
half miles west. As soon as seen
party of stcckmen gathered and started
to cut the trails, and, if possible, surprise
them in the, Red Mountains west Of
