AVENGED
The Apaches Who Murdered Her.
 bert Run Down.
Two Killed and Three Captured.

It IS a great satisfaction to record
 that for once retribution, swift anC
 sure, has overtaken Apache murder
 ers-a tribe whose history is written
 in the blood of white settlers on the
 southwestern frontier. Two of the
 Indians implicated Tn the killing ot
 the freighter, Herbert, have paid with
 their lives the penalty for their crime
 while the remaining three are prson-
 CTS, and, presumably, in irons in the
 Graham county jail at Solomonville.
 About the hour of noon on Satur-
 day last Lieut.. J. w. Watson, of San
 Carlos, and Lieut.. Clarke, 10th Caval-
 ", from Fort Thomas, with detach-
 ment of scouts and troops, and who started in pursuit of the renegades above mentioned on the previous Mon day, arrived in Globe from the north, bringing with them as prisoners three of the fugitives, whom they committed temporarily to the keeping of the de putty sheriff of Gila county. All of the party were in dilapidated cohdi- ton eyidencing the hard service they had seen.
 Taking up the trail where Herbert was killed, twelve hours after the murderers had fled, Lieut.. Watson and command followed them over some of the toughest mountain country in Arizona, never halting while there was sufficient light for the trailers to proceed. The renegades, five in num- ber-two mounted on the horses of the man they had killed and three on foet-took a northerly course, in the direction of Fort Apache, striking at once into the Gila range of mountains and selecting the most difficult trails. At night they would ascend to the highest peak or elevation near them and built no fires except when they stopped to partake of food during the day.
 Lieut.. Watson trailers, chief among whom was "Rowdy" followed with wonderful celerity, exhibitingSa deter nination to run down the aSsassins. The chase continued north for several lays, thence west, passing fcur miles lerth of McMlllen and on to Salt | River, three miles north of Roggen- troh' s ranch, where, on Friday the Eth 1 nst., about 1 o'clock, p. m, in a rocky ;anyon, the scouts and troops came lpon the fugitives and a fight fol- owed.
 After the first exchange of shots the enegades fortified themselves behind ocks and made a determlned fight, asting four hours, and surrendered .nlz after one of their number had 'een killed, one mortally wounded, nd another disabled by shot through he arm. The attacking party suf- cred no casualties, which must be at- ributed to bad craftsmanship upon he part of renegades, who had the dvantage Of position. although only hree were armed with guns.
 The successful termination of the pursuit is owing chiefly to the expe- fence and determination of Lieut.. Watson and the faithlulncss of the couts. In fact had it not been for he admirable performance of the railerS, especially Rowdy, capture of he renegades would have been i'm possible. They were all Saii Carlos Apaches, four belonging to Kin-de- ay's band and one to Chil-chu-a-pa.
 The troops, with their prisoners, eft Globe on Sunday moning, and the alter were taken on the following day rom San Carlos to Solomonville where they will remain in jail await ng indictment and trial.
