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

It IS great satisfaction to record that for once retribution, swift and sure, has overtaken Apache murder ers--a tfibapwhose history is written in the blood of white settlers on the southwestern frontier Two of the Indians implicated Tn the killing of the ireighter, Herbert, have paid with thelr lives the penalty for their crime, while the remaining three are prison CTS, and, presumably, in irons in the Graham county jail at Solomonville.
 About the hour of noon on Satur- day last Lieut.. J. ". Watson, of San Carlos, and L,eut. 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 condi' tion 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 Tn 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 foot took a noFtherly course, in the direction of Fort Apache, striking at once into the GiIa range of mountains and selecting the most difficult trails, At night they would ascend 10 the highest peak or elevation near them and built no fires except when they stopped to partake oi food during the day.
 Lieut.. Watson trailers, chief famong whom was "Rowdy' followed with wonderful celerity, exhibiting a deter to run down the assassins. The chase continued north for several days, thence west, passing four miles nerth of McMillen and on to Salt River, three miles north of Roggen stroh ranch, where, on Friday the Eth inst, about 1 o'clock, P, m, in rocky the scouts and troops came upon the fugItives and fight iol- lowed.
 After the first exchange of shots the fortified themselves behind rocks and made a determlned fight, lasting four hours, and surrendered only after one of their number had been killed, one mortaily wounded, and another disabled by shot through the arm. The attacking party suf- fered ho casualties, which must be at tributed to bad craftsmanship upon the part of renegades, who had the advantage of position. although only three were armed with guns,
 The successful termination of the pursuit is owing chiefly 10 the expe- rience and determination of Lieut. Watson and the faithfulness oi the scouts. In fact had 1t not been for the admirable performance of the trailers, especially Rowdy, capture of the rsnegad-s would have been inn possible They were all San Carlos Apaehes, four belonging to Kin.de- lays band and one to Ch,l-ehu-a-na.
 The troops, with their prisoners, left Globe on Sunday moning, and the latter were taken on the following day from San Carlos to Solemenyille where they will remain in jail await ing indictment and trial.
