 EDITOR CITIZEN: - Times are dull with us, on account Ot tbe Indian ex- citenent, and several chloriders and farmers have moved into town, and there IS very Little travel by small parties. l Shortly before tine ludian scouts were dismissed, tley were seen in all parts of the country where but few people were hving. Orc scCut in particular visited several of the farm houses and mining huis, showing s pass from Captain Keeps, then camped near RIce's ranch. Then those scouts who were camped at the Mowry while in the service. investi- gated the whole surroundings aud the results are now that While they are on the warpath they have great advsn- tHges.
 The result ot Captain Ha.felrs fight [ on the 18th, SIX miles irOn. La ~ Jris. was two soldiers killed and ttree wounded, and sevsY horses killed, and SO far gs heard, no Indians killed.
 On the second day, after the fiSht, Mr. r. Malone. wbO lives on a ranch in the Huachucas, reports that he and his wife raw five mounted IDdiacs rassing ia sight of his place. I day he and bis brother ID law followed the trail and found horse that they had abandoned on account of its being worn OG'.
 There have also been moccas.n tracks discovered between Washington camp and the Mowry, so the probability is that they have scattered.
 The last we heard was that Captain Hatfield with his command and ahoiher company were after them. foilOxing the ;raIl from where they had the last tight. It is ssId that the Dlght following the fight they came down 10 She Santa Cruz flat and drove off twelve horses not two miles from where Captain Hatfield was in camp.

The amusements were consisting of the tournament, foot-raciug, walking the spring- pole, climbing the smooth pole, catching he gressed pig, singing, speech making, ,tc. And as for the good things for the nner- man, why they were nifty" so llf'y indeed that it IS claimed that ore nHu ate a few pounds more than his $ 'wn weight, but it would be impiudent s O gay that be IS a small cinnamon bear, .ud n young lady m order to do justice f Q th" occasion, removed her shOes-NO. 4.
