This afternoon John Martin rode into town giving the news that q point about ten miles from here, while himself, James Mcdonald and Charles Moore, were about eating their dinner in camp, party of Indians fired on them, Moore was sitting in front of Che tent. McDonald, who was hunt ing some brush to start fire, turned as heard the shots and saw three In dians twenty yards from him. He ran for Che brush and hid. John Mar tin who was driving 8 six-mule' team toward camp, heard the shooting and as he approached saw the Indians come out of the tent. He cut cue of the mules loose, jumped on it's back and came to town to report the news to Captain Thompson of the militia. The Captain and some twelve armed men left at once for the scene and found sure enough that Charles Moore had been killed by three shots. On their approach Mcdonald came out of the brush to meet them. The Indians took one of the mules from the wagon and packed it with what provisions they found Tn the tent and left making for tho south. The Captain and his men took the trail with the intention of remaining cut as long as their pro- visions lasted, Notwithstanding these periodical murders territorial papers publish interviews with Crook and other officers to the effect that the In- dians are all down in old Mexico. This is the state of affairs down here; prospectors can not go out, rauehmen are abandoning their locations, and unless something is done quickly this part of the territory will be in bad plight.
 DnnSe, N. M., Nov. S.--Ths mes. seuger who brought in the news of the killing of Mrs. John T. Shy, yes terday, was so scared and excited, and his story so inooberent, that not until daylight this morning, when the bodies were brought in, was the truth known. It seems that about noon 8 band of about thirteen Indians surrounded Shy's house. One Indian, i'll ap. preaching the window at which Shy sat, made a slight noise by striking his foot against a box. At tho noise Shy turned, only to look down the muzzle of a rife in the hands of an Indian. This was the first iutimation of the presence of Indians. He jump. ed for his rife, and both fired at the same instant. For two hours the h. dians fired into the house at every opportunity; Shy returning the fire. The Indians then set fire to John Yeater's house, one of the members of the Missouri Florida Cattle Company, whose house adjoined Sby's. When Shy's house caught fire he told bis wife and boy, the latter aged II years, to follow him out and make Q break for the nearest ravine and hide, while he covered their retreat. On opening the door he was met by a shower of bullets, and on reaching the nearest pile of rocks five Indians sprang up, the muzzle3 of their guns not two feet apart. After one fire the Indians ran, leaving Shy in possession of the rock pile His wife and child made good their retreat to the ravins, Shy fought the Indians all the afternoon, till sundown, when they left. Jno. Yeater and bis wife were in Deming all day, returning at night When about five miles from the ranch they were met by the Indians and killed. The man was killed by bullet wound in the head The woman, when found, lay on her face, with her skull crushed in, stripped of all clothing except one stocking and corsets. The relief par ty brought the bodies into Deming; also Mrs. Shy, nearly dead with fright and fatigue, and her boy, who was badly wounded by a bullet in the thigh. She -acaped unhurt. Captain Chafeo's lookout, on the point of the mountain, saw the burning house and went to investigate tho cause, They were surprised by the Indians and one scout was killed and one soldier wounded. John Yeater came here from Pitts county, Missouri. Ho was 5 years old; reputed to be worth good deal of money, and was highly repect- ed as citizen. Mrs. Yeater is about 28 years old and rather q handsome woman, and had made many friends during heryea and half residence in this section. The town is very much excited and business is entirely sus- pended. Groups of men have sur rounded tue American House all day, where the bodies have been laid out. LATER
