THE SKULKING APACIfES.

DEMING, N. NJ, May 30-The assert
ions made in some quarters at Los Ange-
D les that the murder OF Robert Hardie in
}, Arizona was not done by Indians have
A created some comment in the territory,
$ Colonel Grau, near whose place the MUIR
der took place, wrote to DR.. Haynes that
he had discovered moccasln tracks, and
. that at least four Indians were in the
, party which did the killing A latter
e outrage has removed all doubts, if any
existed here, that Apaches did the deed.
a After the killing of Hardie the Indians
, crossed over to Las Animas valley. took
FIVE horses, fired on some boys at Deer
e creek and killed miuer in Vista, about
fifty miles south ofthe valley in old Mexi-
2 CO. The size of the maraudng party IS
, unknown, but halt dozen Apaches in
7 their peculiar skulking manner of war
, fare are sufficient to keep all the outlying
territory between Tucson and Ell Paso
; and from Mongollon mountains well
south into chihuahua and Sonora In
: state of continual alarm. Rucker can
: yon, where the murder of Hardle took
) place, lies in the Eastern flank of the
Chirlcahua mountains and strongholds
in former raids of marauding bands of
Apaches. The conformation of the
country is such that every facility is offer
ed the Indians to escape. The mountain
ranges are detached and jagged Sierras,
easy of access and comparatively safe
from pursuit.

boys became discouraged when large
crevasse opened late last night on the
middle river levee letting the flood into
the middle division of 5000 acres of grain
standing six feet high, with heads six
inches long. The o7erflowed tracts con.
tam about $4,000 acres, and the grain
acreage was about II, 900.
The damage, including repairing of
| |
at 100000. Efforts are being made to
hold the home place, on which are located
fine dwelling, stables, houses for
employees, store and warehouses, but it is
becoming dangerous and all hands must
move out. Stock Is now being drowned.
