AND EIDDLI DNI H BULLETS The Fiends Find Safe Haven of Refuge
 on the Reservation at San Carlos.
 News was brought down the river from Dudleyville last Friday, of an other tragedy to be charged to the score of Apache cruelties, that happen ed on Wednesday evening, September 26th, at the camp of chief Pachula, short distance east of Dudleyville, on the San Pedro, and about fifty miles east of Florence, wherein a man nam- ed Samuel c. Jones was instantly kill ed by five savages in ambush.
 The testimony advanced at the in- quest, portion of it given by Chief Pachula himself, shows the following facts:
 Mir. Jones, who had been working at the Sample mine, was returning to his home above Dudleyville on the even ing in question, and when a short dis tance from the latter place he met a Mexican who informed him that five Indians had just stolen his burro and robbed him of his money and his sup DlltS, ltlG ldllCI NOllS1cAlllS HfNAig of several bottles of whiskey, and he implored MT. Jones to go with him to Pachula's camp, short distance beyond. and intercede for the recovery of his property Mir. Jones accompan- jed the Mexican to the camp of the Indians and laid the matter before Pachula, and he had scarcely conclud- ed recital of the facts when the five thieving Apaches opened fire upon him from ambush near by and he re- ceived four bullets into his body and head, any one of which would have proved fatal. The horse upon which he was seated became frightened by the noise and ran sixty or seventy feet before its rider fell lifeless to the ground. The guilty Indians at once | broke for the mountains in the direc- ton of the San Carlos reservation.
 Pachula gives the names of the mur- derers as follows: Pat-glehosey, Neat ohsey, Es-kadeler, Muilegoscha and Agagasnataie, all but one of whom belonged to his band.
 Upon receipt of the news here Sher- if Fryer telegraphed the facts to the ! San Carlos authorities and requested them to arrest the murderers if found on the reservation, but he has receiv- ed no reply to his telegram. A squad of troops from the agency reached the scene of the murder on Friday evening and returned last Monday, when all of Pachula's Indians left and went to the agency, leaving only the chief and | his squaws at the camp. Segula, the chief of another neighboring band, has gone to the agency but his. subjects remain at their camp, and Capt Smith and his band have also gone to the l reservation.
 From the straightforward and doubt less honest statement made by Pachu- la, of which the foregoing is the pur- port, the affair was a cold-blooded and causeless murder, without the least shadow of excuse, and the only incen- tive that can be imagined is the natu- ral thirst for blood that inspires the Apache heart to deeds of violence.
 Mir. Jones had been a resident of the San Pedro for little over a year, having come from Texas. He work ed at Mir. Geo. F. Cooks ranch and was regarded as very industrious, quiet and peaceable citizen. He was about AS years of age and leaves two boys, aged 12 and l4 years respective ly. His remains were given burial by the citizens of Dudleyville on Friday, September 2Sth, the people generally turning out to pay their last sad res poets to their unfortunate neighbor.
