Col. W. G. Marmon, of Laguna, who has been down in Grant county on bus- ness, was in the city last night en route to his home. He states that yesterday while waiting for the train to start from Silver City, courier came into the town and reported the killing of two men sev- eral days before by Indians, and that renegade Apaches were terrorizing the settlers of the upper Gila. He says the people are thoroughly worked up over the outrages perpetrated by the Indians in the past few weeks, and that if the government doesn't run them down in the next fortnight, they would organize themselves into companies and pursue the cut-throats. The Colonel states that several companies of troops from Fort Bayard are now out after the renegades. Albuquerque Citizen.

By malarial disease, the human machIn- cry cannot half perform it's office. Di- gestion, secretion. evacuation are disor- dered, the blood becomes watery, the nerves feeble, the countenance ghastly, sleep disturbed and appetite caprIcious. There is, however, 8 known antidote to the miasmatie poison, and certain safe- guard against it. In malsrious regions of our South and West, in South Amer ica, Guatemala and on the Isthmus of Panama, as well as in transmarine coun- tries where the scourge exists, this in- imitable preventive and remedy, Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, has. during the last thirty-five years, been constantly widening the area of it's usefulness, and demonstrating its sovereign value.

Last Saturday morning, as Sheriff Fryer was crossing the Gila river, at Riverside, on horseback, the animal was caught in the quicksand and drawn into 8 deep hole by the current. It then fioundered and struggled so violent ly to get its head above water-a standing martingale resisting such move ment-that Fryer was thrown into the water, under the horse. He managed to get hold of the driftwood lodged on the stump of fallen tree, but the cur rent was so strong that his feet were drawn far under and he could scarcely keep his hold on his weak support. He finally succeeded in reaching the side of the driftwood and struck out for the shore, which he reached in an exhaust ed condition, and was landed safely by his companions. The horse came out all right a quarter of mile below.-Flor- euce Enterprise.
