TUCSON, May 14.-Consi derabTe ex.
citement has been occasioned here by the
report that twelve Indians from the San
Carlos reservation attacked a party of
miners at the new strike twenty-five
miles south of Wilcox last night. They
were driven off. Great uneaslness is felt

in Sulphur Spring valleys. as the troops
at Fort Grant are all packed and ready to-
move to Fort Reilly. 1t is feared that as
soon as they get away there will be a
general outbreak. In view of the general
alarm felt by the settlers, the government
has been asked to have the military
retained at Grant until such time as they
can be moved away with safety to all.

The following shipments of cattle have

442 head of the Dunlap cattle to Man
hatton, Kansas; J. E. McNair, 1908 head
to Dodge City. For a distance OF almost
twenty-five miles south and east OF town
herds are strung out and all are coming

The Stockman says, speaking of the
competition of Mexican cattle, that the
checked by reason of the greater cost OF
meat to consumers was to be expected.
While the market has been subjected to
frequent reactions and marked declines
from top prizes recently secured, the sit

ment. The authorities at Washington ev-
identity have the welfare of consumers at
heart, as well as the producers, and steps
have been taken to accelerate the move
ment OF Mexican cattle into the United
States, under stringent regulations. in
suring careful inspection of all such. II
is estimated that as many as 1000o0 will
come over the border. Ever since the
new tariff went into effect Mexican cattl Q
