CRIMES OF APACHES.
Numerous Murders Of RsnesadeS From
San Carlos Reservation.
CULPRITS TRACED BY TROOPS TO
THE BORDER OF MEXICO
The Country So Rough and Mountain-
Gus That There is Little Probable
ity That the Pursuers Will Ever
Get Within a Hundred Miles of the
Murderers-CavalIy Ordered on
Forced March.

DEMING IN. Nd. Dec. S.-News from
the scene of the murders in Arizona
committed by renegade Apaches from
the San Carlos Reservation state that
the troops from Forts Bayard and
Grant are on the trail, and that it leads
to the line of old Mexico into the Sierra
Madre Mountains, the stronghold OF the
renegades for years. By treaty soldiers
can cross the international boundary to
pursue the Indians. but the country is
so rough and mountainous that it is
very improbable that they will ever get
within a hundred miles of the murder
erS.
In all six murders are reported, the
first crime being committed on last
Monday at Eagle Creek, when three
brothers named Hinton and a man
named Searles were killed and horribly
mutilated. On Tuesday farmer named
Morrill, and his sixteen -year-old niece
were slain in the road six miles west of
Ash Springs. The girl had been out
ragged, and the body was fearfuliy mu-
tilated.
The scenes are on the borders of the
reservation and many miles distant
from leleSrdpn1C communication, So
that complete particulars are not OBJ
tainable. There were six Indians in the
party, two mounted and four on foot,
but it would be an easy matter to steal
horses for the entire party. A party OF
miners from Duncan, Arlz., left in ad-
vance of the soldiers, heavily armed
and we'll mounted, and at last accounts
were following the Indians within two
hours.
These crimes do not indicate an out
break or serious trouble, being the work
of a few murderous bucks, whose ac
tions are condemned by the reservation
Indians, who are contented.
The remaining cavalry at Fort Bay
ard were ordered out to-day to make
forced marches into Arizona, for the
purpose of cooperating with troops al
ready out, including those from Fort
Grant, to assist in the capture of the
band of renegade Indians from San
Carlos Reservation who last week muir
dered six people in the vicinity of the
reservation.
A report was also telegraphed to Fort
Bayard that a citizens posse, under the
leadership of the Park Brothers, which
had taken the trail Immediately after
the discovery of the MURDERS had en-
gagged in a fight with the Indians near
Clifton, AriZ., and that one or more of
the posse had been killed. This is not
verified, but was telegraphed to the
commanding officer at Bayard. The
department is eXerting every effort in
the movement of troops to cut off the
band from escaping across the border
into old Mexico.

CHICAGO, Dec. S-The four-story
brick building at 17S and 1oo Wabash
avenue, occupied by piano. furniture
and shoe firms, with its contents, was
almost entirely gutted by fire at IL
O'clock tonight. The fire started in
the boiler-room ia the basement, and
soon spread to every part of the build
ing The first floor of 11S was occupied
by Joseph Bohmann, with yiolinS and
other musical instruments, and the re-
naming floors were used by Meyer &
Weber, who are agents for the Stieff
make of piano. On the first floor of
1870 was D. Sauer, dealer in fine shoes;
c. Devere q Co. furniture, and G. Han
son Frost occupied the floors above.
Sleeping in the store of Joseph Boh-
mann was a watohman, who is now in
the County Hospital in a very critical
condition. He was overcome by smoke.
In No $50 two men were sleeping on the
top floor in the rooms Of c. H. Frost.
Mike Aschbrewef, one of the men,
made his way to the second floor, but
finding the flames had cut off escape by
the steps he jumped from a second
story window into the alley, spraining
his left leg, but sustaining no perma-
nent injuries. Arthur Watson, the
other man, was rescued by the firemen.
Nothing in the building escaped dam
age and the loss will be over 100000,
though no accurate estimate can be
made at this hour. Meyer & Weber
and Joseph Bohmann will be the great
est losers Much of their goods were
saved from the fire, but totally ruined
by water. Sauer suffered more from
water than fire, and Devere & Co, who
were being sold out by an assignee, lost
much expensive furniture.

GASOLINE TANK EXPLODED.
Serious Accident to DR.. HollIster ON
His Yacht.

DR.. s. A. Hollister. of Greenville, met
with an accident yesterday in which he
was seriously injured. The doctor is a
mos enthusiastic yaehtsman n a
member of the G~reenville Yacht Club.
He had arranged to 90 on a short cruise
with a party of friends in his pretty
cat boat Clara. and the start was to
have been made this morning. With the
intention of making life on board as
home-life as possible, the doctor pur-
chased a new gasoline stove for cook
ing purposes, and had it erected in the
cabin of the yacht.
Yesterday afternoon everything was
III readiness and the doctor was on board
the yacht being fastened to a stake just
off the club house, putting on finishing
touches here and there. Matt Arm
strong and two friends were on board
with him. The doctor was about to leave
the boat when the thought struck him
that it would be a good idea to test the
gasoline stove. so he went down below,
filled the reservoir CT the stove and APP
piled the match. There was a sizzle and
a. roar. and before the doctor could re-
allie what was the trouble the cabin
helped him on. deck, and discovered that
the doctor had been badly burned about
the face, arms n body. The gasoline
tank had exploded and the flames quick
y attacked the woodwork, Tn doctor
would be burned to the waters edge if
no effort was made to stay the flames
ordered that the plugs below be pulled
out SO that the craft might sink to the
bottoh. Armstrong and his friends looked
after this while the doctor drew up the
large yawl alongside SO hat a quick de-
parture could be made.
The plugs once out, the yacht began to
sink rapidly. extinguishing the flames,
but not until they had damaged the
yacht considerably. The party i'm
mediately made for shore. The doctor
was taken to his home and his bruises
dressed. 1t will be some time before he
will be able to resume his professional
labors.
Although the accident resulted most
seriously to the doctor, the friends who
were to lave started on the cruise this
morning, among them several ladies, are
concentrating themselves. Had the
doctor not tested the stove and discoy-
cred a big leak in the main feed pipe,
the accident would no doubt have hap
from shore. and only one YaWl on hand.
