The Hostile Indians.
DUNCAN, December 24th.-Mr Daven-
port, who lives on the Gila river, came in
to-day, and reports that band of eighteen
hostiles were endeavoring to round UP q
band of forty horses near Steeple Rock, and
had killed the three men who were herd
ing the horses. The names of the killed
are not yet known. No particulars have
been received about the ownership of the
stock, but the fact of its being stolen, and
the killing of the three men, is well authen-
ticated. This makes sixteen people killed
by this band of Indians in the past sixteen
days.
GOVERNOR ZULIcK's PROCLAMATION.
PRESCOTT, December oath. = Governor
Zulick to-day issued the following procla-
nation to the people OF Arizona:
To the Citizens Of Ari=oaa 1t is with regret that
feel called upon to notice officially the infam-
| matory appeals made to the passions and pre-
judices OF the people of this Territory upon our
Indian difficulties. l earnestly entreat the citi-
| zens, by discountenancing lawlessness, to prove
that Arizonians are yielding obedience to the
law to furnish the highest test of citizenship
No wrong was ever corrected by sacrificing
| right. The peaceful Indians occupy the San
Carlos reservation by authority of law, and the
Federal Government viii give them protection.
An unlawful attack upon them would aggr2-
Vate our present troubles and subject us TO the
just condemnation of the civilized world. The
hostile Chiricahua Apaches, renegades mur-
derers and thieves, l am officially informed,
will be pursued until their capture or utter de-
struction is effected. No effort will be spared
by the Government to bring them to deserved
punishment and give protection to life and
| property in Arizona. therefore beseech the
citizens to guard the good name of the Territory
by discouraging the sentiment of unlawful
deeds. Our peace and prosperity depend upon
the maintenance of law and the preservation of
order. | warn all evil-disposed persons that
the powers of the Federal and Territorial Gov
ernments will be evoked to preserve the rights
and redress the wrongs OF all persons within
our borders.
Done at the city of Prescott, this 23d day of
December, 1885
C. MEYER ZULICK, Governor.
By James A. Bayard. Territorial Secretary.
SUCCESSFUL RAID ON AN APACHE ENCAMP-
MENT.
Ell PAso (Tex), December 24th.-South-
ern and Central New Mexico is wild with
excitement over the ravages of the Indians,
and in numerous localities the people are
discussing the propriety of putting local
| troops in the field. A number of volun-
! teers, well armed, are already out, and it is
now stated that in the raid upon an Indian
| encampment early yesterday eleven savages
were killed and thirty of their horses were
captured. The party was mainly composed
of Mexican residents, and acted under the
guidance of Big jim, a colored Deputy
Sheriff. The raid took place before day
| light. The savages were encamped in the
vicinity of the railroad, between Clifton
and Lordsburg, and the volunteers ap-
| preached them by riding on train. The
news reached Las Cruces to-day, having
been brought by runner, and had the
effect of greatly quieting the people of the
town. The savages all were armed, but
were completely surprised and fled without
making much resistance. The greater por-
ton of them escaped, threw down their
arms and scattered through the mountains
on foot.
