was published statement from two reliable parties, who had day or two before passed through Eskimiuzin's ranch. on the Lower San Pedro, which indicated almost beyond doubt that | the old war chief of the Chiricahuas was giving aid and comfort to the hostiles. Now comes the following corfr ratory statement, through the columns of the Tucson Citizen. It says:
 "Ir. J. A. Crowley is in from his cattle ranch or the San Pedro, eight miles below Redington, and from him the following information showing al most conclusively the treachery oi Eskiminzin, is obtained His state mert is prefaced by the information for those who do not personally know him, that his word is thoroughly re liable and worthy of the most implicit confidence:
 "On Saturday, May 29th, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Eskiminzin, with d bnck and two squaws, driving a team with 3 farm wagon, came to AIr Crowley's ranch, from down the river. Eskiminzin lives about thirty miles down the river from Mr. Crow ley's, between Dudlcyyllle and Mesa vile, io: fir from the mouth Of A.ivapa creek and close to the corner of the reservation. The Indians camped at his ranch three nights. The night Of their arrival, two more c. Eykimin- gins bucks came down from the moiintains from the direction the hpstiles were supposed to be, and joined the campers. E<kiminziD bad his belt full of cartridges when he ar rived

 "On Tuesday they returned home ward, having apparently brought nothing and taken nothing away. The wagon seemed to contain only little straw iu the bottom, over which some blankets were thrown. E,kir- iuzin volunteered no information as to the cause of his presence so far from his ranch during the busy har- vest season, and was not questioned. He did say that the hosLilcs had no knowledge of that part of the coun- try, as that was his country. MT. Crowley Was tempted to look into the wagon, but the unprotected condition of his family, on the isolated ranch, caused him to abandon the cert"inty of incurring the displeasure Of the old chieftain.
 "This much is fact. and also 1t is a fact that Frank Murphy, foreman Of the Reddington cattle company, while hunting. stock in the mountains on the Monday above mentioned, sud denly came upon Eskiminzin, who did not seem 10 be hunting game very zealou>ly, but was aimlessiy wandering about--a circumstance of no consequence excepting to prove -hc direction taken by FskimInzin and his men.
 "The whole thing was so unusual and untimely that Mr. Crowley's sus picions were aroused upon a retro spect tive view of it. That the ex-chicf, who las probcUly shed more human blood than any living Apache, and now in his old age and inability to ake the War path, has applied him self ostensibly to the cultivation of
