 HOW THEY MARCH.
 Where their bullets are a,roel ,s an other thing. An Idea is preyai,,s i, n. east that thess renegades travel yyi.b tbe
 speed Of the wind, and a. far ag seveniv- hye to one hundred miles at a sD,rt

To illustrate thc atTOcIty of | the Apaches, I will CescrIbe scene l | witnessed during the NictOrlo outbreak. | The day previous party of Hlllstoro | citizens had started after the renegades, | and finding them close by, hot fight | ensued.

 DREW TEARS FROM THE STRONGEST MEN. i
 In ths house and around it was one large slaughter-pen-blood and brains | on the walls inside and on posts and | cround outside; large streams and | splotches coagulated on the hard dirt | ground: punches of hair and bits Of hu- | man flesh in every direction. Lying ID | the midst ot this were the bodies of two | men. two women and six children, all emf and slRshed and bruised till but l .beir raiuent reminded one that they | were human beings. Outside the door l ! on sharpened wooden peg, used to hang | meat. was impaicd babe Of SIX months, ] the peg having passed through its body and six inches beyond.
