eades within six miles OF the town. The
widest excitement prevails. \ company
of volunteers started on the trail, going to-
ward Cooks canyon via Hudson Springs.
The telegraph operator at HudsOn's station,
on the Silver City and Deming narrow
gauge road, twenty-four miles from Dem
ing, closed his Office and went to Hudson
Springs for protection. There are no
troops in Deming, and the citizens,
although they expect the Indians in the
neighborhOOd tonight, do not appear to
take much interest in the killing. \ COM
pany of troops and scouts were following a
fresh trail in the MogollOn mountains yes
terday. The Indians must have been hard
pressed when they struck south for Silver
City. The band who ruck for the Burro
mountains are probably working towards
the Mexican line, via Animos valley. 1t is
said that the three companies of cavalry
scouting in that neiShborhood will have
hard work 10 evadc q meeting with this
band. There are large number of set
tiers in the Burro mountains, and in all
probability many will lose their lives The

out.
