WICHITA, Kansas, has newspaper called .he Bearo1, and the place has also a citizen named James Lucas, who can lay very good claim to be considered the champion liar of the country. Mir. Lucas has written let ter 10 the aforesaid Bearon, in which he claims to have recently returned from the scene of the Indian troubles in Arizona. He locates the trouble in the the Big Chino valley, on the Un- ion Pacific Railroad. He lays the blame of the whole difficulty upon the cowboys. and says the outbreak was caused by one of them shooting a "Nalapsi" Indian, simply because the peaceful Indian "bothered" him. The probabilities are that Mir. Lucas never set his foot on Arizona soil. Locating the scene little south of the Union Pacific road. and calling the hostile Indians the .'Nalapiis," a tribe no one ever heard of, shows the kind of stuff this man Lucas has palmed of on the readers of the Wichita BTae0n. The whole letter is a series of colossal lies.

Special to the CHAMPION.
 EL PAso, TEX, Jan. a9th, IS86.- X telegram 10 this point states that Geronimo and his band of hIsliles nave been completely routed by the troops under cnmmlnd of Captain E nmett Crawford. The AplcAes fled after hot fight, lasting two hours, leaving their horses and outfit in the hands of the soldiers. The fight occurred in the Sierra Madres, in Sonora, close on the borders of Chlhuahua.
 On the evening of the day the fight occurred the Apaches sent squaw with flag oi truce, asking Captain Crawford to meet the Chief Na,chez next morning 10 make terms of sur render. ... ...
 While on his way 10 this meeting with the hostiIes Captain Crawford and his men were attacked by q body of Mexicans. Captain Crawford ad. vanced for the purpose of letting the Mexicans know that they were friends, when he was shot through The head. He died the next day and was blr,ied at NIco;i.
 The command of the troops has been assumed by Lieut.. Mal5, who met GeroIimo and Nltchez in com pliance with the agreement with Capt. Crowford. The request they made was to meet General Crook, which they are willing to do in about . month just over the borders Of Arizona. Two ! bucks and the wife and child of Ge' ronimo, are in the hands of our troops as hostages.
