We admit that Dandy Jim at liberty and frequeuUing his old haunts, is a menace to the citizens residing near the western line of the reservation, and that his pardon out of the peni- tentisry, where he was serving .a just sentence for the murder of young Baker, was entirely unwarranted, and great injustice to citizens of Giia county. Not only is Dandy Jim an iuoorrigible but others of the Cibicu Indians are dangerous nelghbors, and the fact that they have recently been making and drinking tiswin, as rela- ted below, is calculated to excite ap- prehension.

 MR, HUGH BI.EvINs' STATEMENT.
 It is now about three weeks since Gabe Tucker, my son, Cy Bleyius, and Jimmy Ha!o came to my house in the Sierra Aneha. This was in Che eve. ming, and the boy IS ho6bled their hers ca and turned them out. On the fol lowing morning Cy started out to get the horses, and few hundred yards above the hcuso.he struck the trail of an Indian, and following tho track short distance, he came to a place where a confusion of horse tracks in- dicatod that the horses had been stam- padod by the Indian in an attempt Co catch ono. From there the Iudians track went west toward Reno. The same track was also discovered lead ! ing to @ point of rocks ioug hundred yards from the house, which com manded a view Of tbe ranch and sur roundiugs, and from thls eminence the i track came back to within two hund- rcd yards Of the house, where the h. dian had evidently lain and watched | Che house for some time. Toward . evening the horses were found.
 On the second day after bis arrival | at Diy house, about noon, Jimmy Hale l started for the Pendleton ranch on Cherry Crock, When he hnd reached l the 5unmit of hill within halg mile ]. fthe ranch he saw puff of smoke (evidently an Indian signal in the l valley below, within two hundred | yards Of the house, and a momentlater saw a band of Indian horses Being suspicious that all was not right, Halo turned back to my place and remained i til the following evening when he to- 1 gether with Gabe Tucker, Cy Blevins | and Wm. McFaddcu, went over to . Cherry Creek and camped near where the Indians were, and at daylight next ] morning they surprised the redskins in their camp before they had begun | to stir.
 The Indians were of John Dazin's | band and numbered 50 or GO. They ! had a seventeen day pass, issued by i the commanding officer at Fort Apa- che, They were ged in brewing | tiswin, and had taken a flour barrel | and two oil cans from the Pendleton house to hold the tiswin. Most of the Indians were known to Jimmy and | Cy. They told Jimmy that they had also taken some cartridges from the house, to kill some deer, of which they had several.
 These Indians told the boys that the lone Apache who had shaddowed my house three days previous was either the Kid or Masse. It is believed by some citizens living in the Sierra An cha and vicinity, however, that the Indian was Dandy Jim.
 HUGH BLByINs.
