| HcAcs AcHOElc tuhl ht hOOut seven O ClOCh a. m. to-day, he saw with glass sppar- ently large party of Indians between a body of citizens and soldiers, being pur- sued toward the line about mile from 1t. The troops were heading them of from the San Jose mountains. The hos tiles then headed for the Cansness and were being turned by their pursuers toward the southwest end of the Hua- chuca mountains. Over hundred per- sons are in the three parties, supposed to be Richards command. with the citi- zens. (Signed) TIsDALL, Commanding"
 To this is added confirmation by tel ephone, which comes from HuRchuca via the private line of the s. W. BliDn Lumber O., at Fairbanks. The report says courier arrived at Fort Huschucs this evening with the intelligence that the united forces of citizens and soldiers had been fighting continuously all day in ii.s aorth end of the San Jose noun tains, near the Mexican line. No par ticulars, however, are given. The wild est rumors are current, worthy of no credence. Lewis Williams, of Bisbee, sends word by mail, this morning: All is excitement and confusion now Our volunteers send runners in this morning. who report that no hostiles were seen Tn Dixie canon or mule noun tains north of us." This antedates the Huschuca report, and rathercOnfirms 1t as showing action in the south toward tue line. Postmaster Cum, of thls oity, who is an eI San Carlos man, aecompan- jed the Tombstone citizen con- psny to Bisbee. He returned with information that tue company of reg ular cavalry from Huachuca are all volunteers, including Lieut.. Richards himself. The troop includes musicians and artisans, and it is stated here that there are but thirteen men at Fort Huachuca now, five of whom are sick This gallant action, together with the quick march of Lleut. Richards com paDy from Huachuca to Bisbee, added to the vigorous measures since they were joined by the citizens. Is an instance of good work by the regular troops which people here appreciate. Lieut.. Richards is n young man heretofore better known ID Tombstone as a society light. To- nights stage from Bisbee brings mes- sengers for doctors to dress the wounds of Thomas Jones and barkeeper, both of whom were wounded by the acciden- tai discharge of a gun sent from here among other arms, last night, in the hands of a careless volunteer, who sup posed be had emptied its magazine. Jones was hit in the arm and the wound is thought not to be fatal. The other man was hit in the shoulder blade, and the wound is not reported serious.
 Yesterdays reports of the Apaches in the San Pedro valley are not confirmed. A party who also left Benson to investi- gate the reported killing of Ochoa in the Whetstones, went out eight miles from Benson, but found no trace of murder or of the Indians. Benson was thrown into excitement early this morn- ing by the report that three Indians were seen at 8 a. m., 200 yards from that town. They are supposed to have been Papsgos, but the Apscbes appearing on every hand keep the people in constant anxiety. The town was aroused and the people were on the alert till morning.
 The following message explains itself: "Blsbee, A. T., June 12.-To Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, Washington: On account of no protection beng offered us from the murderous wards of the government, viz: The Apache Indians of the San Carbon reservation. in this Territory, we do hereby petition that you either send us more soldiers or furnish us means as citizens and tax payers to protect our selves.

Yesterday, the last day of the trial, the court house was crowded with men and women, to witness the closing scene. When the people were leaving. 1 immediately after adjournment of the court and iammed up Tn the stone stair way leading to the street. the loft of the staircase fell. The scene that fol- lowed was appalling. The immense masses of masonry from above crush ed down upon the struggling people below, grinding through their flesh and bone and maimIng and mutilating them in a horrible manner. The fall of the stair case and the screams of the people lyIng helpless in the ruins, caused a panic in
 the court room and there was a rush for the now wrecked exit. Those who were in front, unable to withstand the pres sure from behind, were hurled down
 upon the men and women crushed In
 the fall of the staircase and when the people in the street were already striy- , ing to rescue. When at length the
 panic had exhausted itself, and the i'm
 mense stone steps of the fallen staircase
 had been removed, twenty persons were
 taken from under the ruins dead, while tho lnjurednumbered not less than sixty,
 and many of these will die. A later dis patch says the injured persons. besides
 the twenty killed, will number loo
 A still later dispatch from Thiors makes the court house calamity of yes
 tsrday by far more disastrous in its
 consequences than the earlier dispatch es indicated. The dead already num-
 Der twenty-four, and the total number of injured IS now placed st l63; ot these
 fourteen are very seriously injured and
 some will die.
