 Solomonyilla Bulletin:
 Wednesday Bud McMurren, who drives the stage between San Carlos and Thomas, brought the news that on Tuesday night W. o. Futile, farmer on the reservation, had reported at the Agency that the Indians at Tonto camp [they were not Tontos but Mo havesJ had been on big tiswin drunk, which resulted in serious row. He said that five squaws and some chil- dren were reported killed After the fight sixteen or seventeen bucks gath cred up their squaws and started ofTin the direction of Arivaipa Canyon.
 Dan Ming, who was years ago scout and has good opportunity to study the Indian character, says the Indians have acted strangely for two or three monthsj sometime ago they were reported to be killing their dogs; this is one of the first preparations for war by the Indians. They have been very industrious in their efforts to se- cure guns and ammunition and this is a very bad sign.
