Last Saturday A. J. Spauldlng came Ill from Hachita bringing the following h. dian news: Friday d man went out from Parsons formerly Howell's) ranch after the horses He did not return. Along towards night a searching party went out, but could not find the man. 1t did, how ever find two or three horses shod with rawhide shoes and large number of moe casin tracks.
 That morning Captain Reyes and D troop of the tenth cavalry had arrived from the lower Animas, having been or dered back to Fort Bayard. The captain is one of that kind of army officers who wants to end the Indian troubles and has a shrewd idea that the best way to accom- plish this object Is to pursue and kill all Indians who kill white folks Another pecuharity about Captain Reyes Is that he will believe a citizen who has some ln- formation respecting Indian outrages. Another characteristic of the captain was con1ided to the Liberal by one of his men, aud that was that he was afraid of nothing and would fight
 As soon as the captain heard of the news he interviewed Mir. Spaulding and as soon as he got the particulars ordered his troop to saddle for night ride. He left town about ten o'clock with ten days rations and arrived at the scene about daylight and took the trail.
 The man who went after the horses and never returned was a cowboy named Hal Williams, and was a recent arrival from Hamilton, Texas. He was discovered Saturday, hidden under a bush, shot twice, one of the shots having gone through his heart, and his head mashed in, apparently with a stone. lie was stark naked, every stitch of clothing and hls watch and money being taken. He had a fine sombrero adorned with silver stars, the stars were cut off and gone. the som bTero left Five of Parsons horses are missing.
 Young Williams was not the only vic tim. Nolney Rector and his partner, Peter Rigg, were killed at the pass near the big Ratchet, but no particulars of their killing have been received.
 Volney Rector was one of the prom inent men of southern Grant county. Two years ago he was the candidate on the republican ticket for county commls- s:oner and was defeated by Sam Carpen- ter. He had no family.
 Peter Rigg was well known in Demlng and Lordsburg He left widow, Mrs. Jane Eigg
 On Wednesday two soldiers returned from Captain Reyes command escortlng two Apache scouts. They reported that the captain had discovered the trail left by the murderers of Williams. Apparen- tly there were two mounted Indians and led horse. The trail led south towards the Mexican line When he got near the line the captain had to send back all his scouts but two, and when they started back the trail was leading towards the Sierra Madres
 Wednesday Lieutenant Clarke, with about fifty Apache scouts, went through Stein's Pass, bound for Hachita. Wednesday night word was telegraph ed here that young man named Brock man had been chased into Separ by In dians. Lieutenant Whipple has similar views to those held by Captain Reyes on | the Indian question. and Is man who would risk his commission to get hos | tile Apache. As soon as he got the news in regard to young Brockman he started | with thirteen men for a night ride tC ! Separ As no news has been heard from 1 him it Is to be supposed he Is on the trail
 The Copper Dick mine below Hachlta ! shut down on account of the Indian out 1 break
 Steve Donagan was in town yesterday and told the Liberal that he had been | visited by cowboy named Andy Riley who told him that last week some Apaches | had left the reservation. stole some horses at the Rail N ranch on the Gila and went south along the Stems Peak range. He 1 trailed them to San Simon where he found i they had killed a beef and made shoes fol | their horses. His horse was too much eX hausted to follow farther. These Indians had about time to get to Parsons rancl ! by the time Williams was killed.
 LATER Captain Reyes and his com mand came ill last night, having lost the trail in the Dogmountains, down near the line. There was a hard ram which wash ed out everything in the shape of trail and although the scouts circled ever mile: of country they could not recover 1t.
 The Captain said he knew nothing O Rector's being killed, but he found anC buried partner of Peter Rigg, named Carl Ehrman, of Deming. Every mar killed was shot twice.
