Tombstone Excited.
 Special to the CITIZEN.
 TOMBSTONE, June S-The intelligence that three men were killed in Sonora was received here yesterday, together with the information, this morning, that the Apaches were at Scott Whites ranch yesterday, and created much excite ment, winch has been intensified by the arrival of several men with news of h. dians in the SwIsshelms. At noon the streets presented Rn unusual aspect men were hurrying to and fro, all of whom were seen disappearing in different directions, warning prospectors and settlers, and to rescue families on ranches. Many prominent families are in the mountains for the summer, the heads of whom left with parties to pro- tect their return. Twenty five men are said to have left in body to head of the renegades, who are supposed to be making for Sonora. Troops can easily the Apaches, if true, however. Captain Howe, commanding Go. E, Ma tional Guards, telegraphed to Prescott for orders, and received the following re- ply: Prescott, June s, Capt. II. G Howe, Tombstone. Pursue all maraud- ing Indians and force the fighting. When the trail gets fresh, don't camp but push on. Signed, H. M. VanArman. Acting Governor.
 This refreshing instance of official backbone eIcites hearty commmenda- lion and is in strong contrast to expres- sIons of popular feeling over the late of General Pope. With h. lians leaving theIr trail on every side the San Francisco denials are peculiar y exaspeTatIng. A petition Is Iu circu- ation to aid in sending R representative to Washington to show the true state of Indian affairs and is being generally signed. Rumors current greatly exag- yerate the previous statements. One is to the effect that 75 Indians encamped last night at Tres Alamos, six miles be- low Benson. Another that D camped at Rock Canon near the Dragons all lay yesterday, but both reports are re- with considerable distrust.

It was heading lit- le south of Wood caiiOn. Capt Over on's traIl leads into Wood canon and if le IS not careful he may get to see an Apache with war paint on. Lieutenant NcGrsw, of Capt. Thompson's command. made a statement here that the citizens n Captain Ford's command, which 'un the traIl by this place last Saturday in pursuit of the band that Lane Fisher had the fight with, would lot accept fresh mounts to follow on. This is denied by a citizen who accom- panied the troops until they, the troops abandoned the trail yesterday at seven o'clock. He further said the losing of he trail was a piece of carelessness that 10 one could be guilty of except an army ,fficer of his, McGraw's, stripe. Eight 'itizens of Clifton ran the trail for them rom the San Simon Cattle Company's anch to the mouth of Cave canon where trail was lost.
