KILLED BY APACHES.
A Prominent Los Angeles
Lawyer Ambushed.
ESCAPED BAND OF MURDERERS
The Renegades Had Been Sem
fenced Several Times, and
Were Pardoned or Escaped.

SAN Francisco, May 2O.-Ofticial nows
of tho murder Of Robert Hardie, a Los
Angeles attorney, by u band of Apaches
at Rucker Canyon, Ariz., was received
at the army headquarters to-day.
General Miles stated; 'The Indians
are Kid and his party, who attempted
the lie oi the agent at San Carlos in
June, 1887. and were captured and tried
by the military authorities, and sem
fenced to ten years In the penitentiary at
Fort lcayenworth, but were aitorward
in January, 1888, sent to Alcatrss. In
October, 1888, they were released by
order of the authorities ut Washington,
and were sent bnck to Arizona.
At San Carlos they were ar
rested by the civil authorities,
tried and sentenced TO be hanged, but
were released from the penitentiary at
Columbus Ohio, and returned to
Arizona to be again tried by tho United
States supreme court. Ii having been
decided that the United States district
court for Arizona could not try them,
they were again tried by the civil court
In Arizona and sentenced. While on
their way to the Yuma penltentiary, in
charge OF Sheriff Reynolds aud guard,
they on the ID oil last November killcd
the sheriff and escaped TO Mexico,
where they have been engaged in depre-
dations in Sonora ever since, killing
several teamsters and prospectors down
there. The killing of Robert Hardie, OF
Los Angeles, Is the first crime they have
committed in United States territory
since last November. The Apaches
secured their arms from the teamsters
and prospectors whom they murdered In
Mexico, and tho proof that 1t is the
same party is that one OF the Indians
Killed had sheriff Reynolds watch ON
him."
Tho Indians at large are only eight,
and they are Kid, Miguel, Sayes, Wash
lantnka, Lacohn, Tonto-G-Pe, Histin-
tidody and Cadodayduon. The first
four were originally under sentence for
four years, tile tiith and sixth for twelve
years and the last two for life. Orders
were issued last November to all the
posts to look out for them, and further
orders we're issued this afternoon by
Major General Miles from the division
headquarters to pursue and capture OF
destroy the rencgades.

meeting. He said that much had al
ready been done by the orders acting
separately. But what did one Tganiza-
tion amount to In conflict with the cor

that one organization could easily be de-
feated in the contest with capital, but
capital could never triumph In tho con-
test with such a federation as was now
proposed.

founder of the brotherhood engineers,
said that the beneficial results u organ
