 THE wICKENBURG MASSACRE.
 TThe following brief account of a frightful massacre by Indians will be remembered by many old-timers, who still reside in Prescott. The vehicle which carried these people was in the old stage yard at present owned by W. J. Mulvenon a year or so ago. and was never used after wards. all stage drivers positively refusing to drive on 1t. Twenty seven bullet holes were counted on the woodwork of this historical wagon.
 The mail due at this place on Monday arrived early in the after noon, bringing the particulars, so far as known, of one of the bloodiest deeds ever committed m Arizona. At an early hour on Sunday morn ing. (Nov. .. lS7l,) the 5th instant, the mail stage on the route from Wickenburg to Ehrenburg. left the former place with the driver, John Lang. and the following named pas seugers: Frederick Shodholm, Fred erick W. Lorring, r. NJ. Hamel, W. G. Salmon. C. :. Adams. William Kruger and Miss Sheppard. At point nine miles from Wickenburg, a party of mounted men-ei either Indians or Mexican bandits dis guised after the fashion of Apache warriors rushed down upon the stage as it was passing through a canyon, and fired a volley into the passengers. killing all but two per sons, and slightly wounding these. The wounded MT. Kruger and Miss Sheppard not being disabled, i'm mediately sprang from the stage, which was now brought to a halt. and started together toward Gull ling's station.
