TIE HOSTILE INDIANS.
Indians of Geronimo's band were
reported from different sources, be-
tween the 22nd and 2Gth July, to be
in the border mountains of Arizona.
1t appears that the killing of +.
NJ. Peterson, sub-contractor and
carrier of mail from Crittenden to
Lochiel, on the 23rd inst, was the
work of Indians. Ills body was
found near the old Mowry mines
pierced through by two bullets.
The mail bag was cut and riiled, and
the letters torned into bits. The
harness was cut up and the horse
stolen. Citizens followed the trail
for two days, when it was taken up
by Capt. Lawton and five scouts and
followed toward the lIuachucas
across the upper part of san Rafael
Ranch.
The latest news is despatch from
Fort IIuachucas, Arizona, July so,
to Capt. Roberts, Fort Bowie, signed
by Lieut.. Col. Forsyth, command
ing: Mr.. Lewis, one of the citizens
who was with Captains Wood and
Hatfield, left them on trail Tuesday,
sixty miles in Mexico, just at the
summit of the Covano Mountains.
Trail hot and troops in full pursuit.
In my opinion this band Of ten or
twelve Indians is the only one that
has been on our side of the line,
Notwithstanding the other reports.
They came up to steal stock, but
have had to drop nearly all of it SO
far. Since Wood has been on their
track they have dropped forty head,
which citizens have picked up.
Woods scouts played out and came
back. Fortunately Hatficld's were
mounted and are with command.
The lightning smashed our telephone
yesterday and we have to send to
siding for dispatches.
