euIRoz PRoBaBLY KILLED BY AN IN.
 DIAN


 Acting. Corener Job Atkins and par
 ty returned from the scene of the mur der of the Mexican Sablno Qniroz, oi
 Saturday, without having ascertainet anything further than was related II | the BELT of the same date. Neither
 was there anything new elicited at tht
 inquest, the verdict being that Quiro, came to his death from a gunshot
 wound in the back, inflicted by som, person unknown. Incidents of the current week, however, have thrown some light on the affair, and while the evidence obtained is all eircumstan' tial, yet it points exclusively to an Indian as the murderer. Sheriff Glenn Reynolds tracked the pony, evidently ridden by the murderer of Quiroz, for mile and halt, into the gulch lead ing dswn to ths Miami valley.
 To diverge little. On Tuesday af- teraoOn, about ? o'clock, J NJ. Adams arrived in haste from Gilsen's, with the startling intelligence that an h. dian had reported to Hayerly, Morris Belknap and himself, that Chiricahua Indians had, on the day previous, killed two boys at corral near Me- Mlllen. Knowing that the Stanley boys were looking after cattle m tbat vicinity, Adams concluded that they might have fallen victims 10 the ruth Sess Apaehes, and came as rapidly as pos sible to Globe. The rumor caused con siderable excitement and apprehension for the safety of the Shanleys and other persons llving at and near Me Millen. Deputy-Sheritt Ryan, w. A. Holmes and Floyd Blevns procured horses and started immediately for McMillen, and about half-past eight the same evening Ed, Shanley arrived in Globe and dispeled the fears felt for hs and bis brothers safety There had been no trouble of any kind ID the neighborhood.
 Ed. brought information, however, of the finding of iaded horse, belong ing to W. w. Gibson, on Friday msrn- ing, near Roggenstroh'S ranch at Horse Shoe Bend, Salt River, and at tho same time be and young Sloan missed horse owned by the latter. They then trailed the Gibson horse back to the Wheatfslds canyon. On the following evening, Saturtay, about o'clock, L. T. Harms recognized the Sloan horse, ridden by an Indian ac- companied by another buck and boy and glrl. Harms took the horse from the Indian, but allowed him to retain a heavy saddle, of fine quality, Win chester, six-shooter and dirk knife.
 On Monday, Sheriff Reynolds went to San Carlos, and learned from Act ing-Ageut Bullis that an Indian had brought a saddle to the Agency which he claimed to have got from a Chiri- cahua Indian at Cibicu. An examin- ation of the saddle led Sheriff Key holds to believe that 1t was the one that had belonged to Quiroz, the mur dcred Mexlean, but he could not iden- tify It positively. The Indian was not arrested it being thought best to al- low him ms freedom unul more evi deuee could be secured which his ar rsst might defeat. A watch was 10 be kept on him SO that he could be se- cured at any time desired. Mr Key nolds brought the saddle with him te Globe on Tuesday, and 1t was fully identified as the one that had eaen in the possession of Quiroz when killed.
 The Gibson horse, found at Roggen stroh's ranch, was at home en the pre- vious Monday, and used by the chil- dren. The Indian bad evidently ste- len hm from the range. ridden him bareback 10 the wood camp, where he killed Quizoz and took ms saddle and other possessions, and then went north to Horse Shoe BeEd, where he released horse and stole Sloan's. The Indian then went to McMlllen. tallng ID with the other three in that y,cini- ty, the party going from McMillen, without much deviation to San Carlos. The Indians story of having taken the saddle from Q Chirieahua will not hold water, as Cibicu is forty miles from McMillen and the time that elapsed from the stealing of Sloan's horse until the Indian arrived with him at McMiilen was not sufficient in which to have made the ride there and back, 50 miles, without distressing the horse, and tue animal was not greatly faded, Ali the evidence in possession of the sh riff was sent to Captain Bull lis on Thursday, and the Indian who delivered the saddle will doubtless be placed under arrest. The evidence points strongly to hlm as the murder CT of Quiroz.
