TUCSON, Arizona, May pa spe-
cial from Silver City, N. M, says:
A courier arrived this morning from
White House with a dispatch from
Captain Oyerton. He also brought
. the following letter:
"ALMA, May 22.-Mr. Ida: send
message from Captain Overton to
Fort Bayard, which for ward to Silver
City and Bayard. 1t is impossible to
get courier from here to Silver City.
[ know positively that eight men
have been killed by the Indians.
They will likely give this valley (the
San Francisco) another call and go
down the Gila. JUL1ANILLe."
The courier confirms the news of
the killing of Mr.. LucO and his COM
panion, Calvin Orwig. The bodies
were brought to Alma. Captain
Overton writes: 1.-The Indians are
now at Devils Bark. twenty miles
from Alma. I will cooperate with
the cit zens of Alma. The Indians
were heading for Warm Springs and
will probably 60 by Cooks Canyon
Train"
A Clifton special says courier has
just arrived from Upper Gila with a
letter from Wood Dodd, which states
that the Indians left" Eagle Greek,
ranch and struck the Blue river at
Brenton's, forty miles north of Cliff
ton. Old man BrentOn cannot be
found. Dodd, who followed up the
Indians, believes that he has been
killed. Five miles further on, at the
German ranch, the owner was found
murdered and mutilated. At Mont
gomery & Welch's, the Indians had
destroyed everything. AS it was
dark Dodd did not look for the
bodies, but fastened on to reach
Alma. His horse SHE'D often along
the trails, on which were number
of dead horses, and he believes there
were men also. The Indians crossed
the San Francisco river, five miles
north of Alma, on Friday. The set
tiers were not notified of the outbreak
and many have undoubtedly been
killed. Dodd states that Creach and
McGurren started back on Wednes-
day tor. Hampson's ranch, from
which no news has yet been received.
He states that although the Indians
crossed the San Francisco river on
the 10Th, no troops had struck the

FOR THE PEOPLES GOOD.
Some Idea OF the Rush for Places OF

Some Idea OF the Rush for Places OF
ElnOlument.
WASHINGTON, May % There are
l0s land Offices in the country, the
great majority of which are located
in the States of California, Colorado,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas and
the Territories. Each office is en-
titled to a register and receiver,
whose respective salaries are from
So 600 to 1000.
The recent announcement by Gen.
Sparks that the Federal offices would
not necessarily be filled by residents
of the Territory is expected to g we q
tremendous impetus to the fling OF
applications. Gen. Sparks says the
demand for these positions is already
greatly in excess of anything he ever
expected. For the 216 places there
are nearly $500 applications while
each mail adds dozen at least.
"Will you be guided by any sr ecial
standard of excellence in filling those
places?' was asked of the Commis-
sioner to-day.
1.-The prime recommendation in all
cases will be sturdy, uncompromislng
honesty" he replied. 1.-The positions
are such that any persons of good
business ability can fill them. There
is no trouble on that score, but the
man who expects to represent the
Government in this capacity must
have q clear record. Political inf1u-
ence alone will avail nothing. "Hon-
esty,n The repeated with great empha-
sis) "that's the prime qualification"
"You say in your order that ap-
pointees will not necessarily be taken
from the Territory where they reside.
On the other hand, will their resi-
dence initiate against them"
"No-lt is rather point IN their
favor. We prefer Western men for
these places" -,
"Shall you make this rule?"
"Not at all. The appointee is as
liable to be chosen from New Eng
land as from the Northwest. There
will be no geographical distinction"
"Will YOU dismiss the incumbeDts
before the expiration of their term?'
"That point has not been settled.
When the Secretary and l take up
these cases, as we shall within q
short time. that question will be
carefully considered. It Is my belief
that tie officials of the Government
ought to be In sympathy with the
administration, and this applies to
NV bureau as we'll as any other"

news of all this cruelty, has cast a

Viennese as a fresh evidence of the

Novel Incidents of an ElOpement Which
Filled the Town with Wonder.

Novel Incidents of an Elopement Which
Filled the Town with Wonder.
GA1NEsvILLE, Ga, May 16.-This
city is greatly agitated over an excit-
ing elopement which took place this
morning. There are dozens of pretty
girls attending the Georgia Baptist
Female Seminary, which is located
here. The belle of them all was Miss
Fannie Randall, the daughter of a
wealthy resident of Franklin county.
The young lady is Is years Of
age, and is All ideal brunette. Melt
ing dark eyes. pearly teeth and a
wealth of black hair made her the
admiration of the town. Miss Ran
dali was sent to the seminary to re-
move her from the influence of an
Objectionable lover who lived near
her home. He was David Austin, a
bright young lawyer with good
prospects, but to whom the young
lady's fathe- had taken decided OBJ
lection. Miss Fannie seemed to
acquiesce in the arrangement, but it
has since been discovered that she
was all the time carrying on a clan
destine correspondence with young
Austin. Yesterday Miss Fannie
went to the principal OF the semi
nary with tears in her eyes and ex-
hibited the following note, which she
said she he'd just. received from her
home: "Your sister is sick. Come
home at once."
The principal was not to be i'm
posed upon, however, and he re-
fused to let Miss Randall leave the
school. When the class was called
up this morning the young lady was
missing. Upon rushing out to the
street Principal Wilkes was just in
time to see her and Mr.. Austin driv-
ing towards the depot. The princi-
pal jumped into his carriage and
started in pursuit. "Jump in quick!"
shouted Austin to Miss Austin, who
had alighted from the wagon. The
gill did so and Austin lashed the
morse and dashed away. The
chase continued all over the town.
Up one street and down another went
the pursued and the pursuer, while the
tOWnspeOple stood looking on wOn-
dering what it was all about. Aus
tin at length reached the road leading
south and whipped his horse along it.
Princip pal Wilkes followed only q
few yards behind. The chase was
continued for eight miles, when Aus
tin suddenly turned his wagon and
dashed back toward Gainesville.
Wilkes followed him. They reached
town in half an hour and kept right
on through it. Miss Rahdall's hair
f1oated in the breeze, and her black
eyes flashed with excitement as she
stood up in the wagon and shook her
fist at the pursuer. Up the North
Road went the swiftly driven teams,
a cloud of dust enveloping them.
Principal Wilkes horse became lame
when he had followed the eloping
couple for ten miles, ind be was COM
PEELED to give up the chase. Austin
and his sweetheart drove to Annis-
ton, distance of eighteen miles,
where they left their wagon and took
the train for Atlanta. It is supposed
that they will be married as soon as
they reach that city.
