THE MURDERous KuD.

There has been no such Indian ex- citement in Gila county as prevailea this week, since Sheriff Glenn Reynolds and w. A. Holmes were murdered by Indian convicts near Riverside, No vember End, 1889. The Kid was one of the Indians who escaped when those officers were killed, and he has since been a fugitive, rowing back and forth between the White Mountain reserva
 ton and Sonora, Mexico, murdering and plundering wherever opportunity offered an Ishmaelite, whose hand is against everyone, white or red, except a few Chiricahuas with whom he has made common cause against the enemy
 The first heard of the Kid. on his present raids was Oct. 18th, on Eagle creek, about eight miles from Morenci, where he and two other Indians raided several Mexican wood camps, and took tA Mexican prisoner whom they com pelled to guide them to the Horse camp of of the Futile Cattle Co.
 On the following day they killed two of the Futile Co.'S vaqueros, Albert Dittmeyer and John Gardiner. From Eagle creek the renegades circled in northwesterly direction, and the first information received here of their movements in Gila county was oi Monday afternoon when Geo. Laun- tfers arr ved bringing information that James Hale had been fired upon by two Indians on Canyon creek in the northwestern corner of the reservation He was out hunting horses and fortu- nately for him, he spied the Indians when seventy-iiTe yards distant. They carried guns, and their general repul- sive appearance aroused his suspicious; he wheeled his horse and started him on a gallop, and not a moment too soon as the Indians opened fire on Hale, and eontinued to shoot until he was out of range. Hale was not hiS how ever, and came on to Pringle's ranch,
 From Canyon creek the renegades
 travelled south to Blackberry Springs, five miles east of Gilson's, where they killed buck and captured sauaw, A rumor was eelegraphed from San Carlos that an Indian had been killed at Cosote Holes, but it lacks confirma- ton. By this time troops and scouts from Fort Apache and Agency were hot upon the trail. Lieut.. Andrews and detachment were in Globe and on Tuesday made a night ride toward the San Pedro hoping to head off the rene gades. Corporal Trask, Nf'h two sol diers and Rowdy and another scout came in Wednesday afternoon from Silver King and proceeded to San Car los the following morning.
 On Wednesday morning John Keiser and Jake MoLane while hunting horses in Indian Canyon, seven miles south of Globe, ran onto three Indians whose ceporipsion tallies with that of Kid and confederates. While one Indian stationed on a ridge attracted their at tention by signalling, the other h. dians were approaching stealthily down the canyon toward Keiser and McLane. The latter discovered the plot and putting spurs to their horses, returned to Globe and gave the alarm.
 Sheriff Thompson Immediately raised a posse of eight men aid three scouts started in pursuit, They struck the trail and followed it toward Saddle mountain, losing it in that rugged country. Soldiers and scouts from San Carlos were in pursuit and the Globe posse abandoned the chase.
 To i'sws pf the pursuit has since been received here and ~ is. probable that the Indian eut-throats have made good their escape. The names of the renegades are given as Kid, Masse, Ah-dilth-nah-u-zit, the 1atfera son and two yopng squaws
