tor got III at noon to-day from Arivaca'
where he arrived on Thursday morning,
lust after a raid. The Indianswere very
bold and aadacious. The people whose
stock was taken even heard their voices IN
the night, but were either too badly fright
ened or did not realize that they were In
dians. Some horses were taken from the
little corrals close to the houses. NO one
knew of the raid until next morning, ana
then no horses could be found for some
time to take the trail A party finally went
in pursuit, and the trail led toward the
Santa Cruz, between Tubac and Calapasas.
During the forenoon of Thursday it was
learned that Henry Baston, who had
brought his Family from ranch three
miles out to Arivaca, was missing ana nau
not reached home the night before. Mr..
Proctor went out with others, on the road
he would have come, and finally his dead
body was found, the man having been
shot through the body and through the
head. He was lying behind the rear
wheel OF his wagon, with four empty cart
ridge shells near him. 1t is believed that
one Indian engaged his attention from be-
hind a tree upon the side hill, and that
Baston Jumped out on the opposite side of
the wagon and fired. Two other Indians
came up the canyon behind him and shot
him dead. They cut out his pockets and
pulled off his boots, but left them. They
took his horses, brides and reins, but left
the horses during the night in Ariyaca,
where they secured others.
The wife of the murdered man, who lives
in quite an isolated house near town, says
she heard the Indians talking close to her
house in the night. She put out the can
die early, and was trembling with fear all
night long. Mr.. Proctor's party took the
body to Arivaca, where it was buried on
Thursday afternoon. From appearances it
is supposed the Indians had jumped him
quite early in. the evening. They were on
foot, and when they went next morning
they drove away about twenty horses.
Three of the Indians were seen early Thurs
day morning by Mexican who had once
been a trailer and knows the Apaches
from other Indian tribes, and there is no
doubt now about the matter. The pursuing
party hope 10 chase the Indians over by the
Jaliseo ranch, down into the arms of some
of the detachments of troops stationed in
that vicinity They think they are por-
ton of the band that raided Bear valley
and killed Sharahan some time ago, as they
left by the same trail and seemed 10 De
thoroughly acquainted with the country.
A party of troops, while scouting in the
neighborhood of CalabaSas few days ago,
came suddenly upon party of two Amer
leans and several MeXicans, all sleeping N
the brush near where the Government
horses were at pasture. They all wore
moccasins, and made trail very similar to
that of the Indians, and while it is gener-
ally believed that they are guilty of some
of the depredations charged to the Indians,
there was no evidence sufficient to convict
them, and they were, therefore, set at
liberty, after having been warned that
death would be the penalty of their being
found in similar circumstances again. They
were utterly unable to give any satisfactory
account of themselves. When turned loose
they came down the Santa Cruz towards
Tubac.
