 It pleases us to state that one of the Apache murderers of Freeman T. Cos per, the freighter, is real good Indian and the other a prisoner. They had managed to evade the Indian scouts un- til Wednesday, when they were discov- cred by party of scouts who attempted to arrest them. They resisted, and in the fight that followed one of the mur- derers was killed and the other captured The latter will be turned over to the civil authorities for trial. Old Chilchu- ana, who it is believed was assisting the scouts, was wounded during the fight. FINAL COUNTY ITEMS. Florence Interprise'
