 .aA One of the warriors belonging to the Apache war party now in Sonora has returned, and gives me e report of their proceedings as far as tron- teras. Nothing ofimrortance transpired until the morning the 27th of April, when fifty

 two warriors were detailed to take trail that led by the town of lronteras and reconnoter. They arrived within a quarter of a. mile of the 3 town waea they met man working in gar

 den, whom they killed Immediately by shooting and iancing him Further on they came to where another man was irrigating land and they took him prisoner and tied his hands behind his back. At the same time two little boys who were in a garden were also taken. The Indians then crossed the river and ascended a hill with their prisoners. A small party of soldiers stationed in the town seeing the saw. ages, went down to the river and ascended hill directly opposite the one the Apaches were on, so the two parties were only few hundred yards apart ....-.-.,- .o..

 The Indians then told the soldiers that they would give up the prisoners for powder and lead and as much corn as they all could eat In reply, (for wonder the soldiers told them they should have as much powder and lead as they wanted, and letting fly a volley wounded one of the warriors slightly; the ball passed through his right cheek and came out below the 7, ear The warriors then said that if other peo- pie was bad they would be bad also and turn ing around shot the man they had taken prison CT, in the head and killed him They then left, taking the two boys along; afterwards they were given in charge of the wounded warrior to take to the Pass, and the rest of the Indians proceed ed on their scout. The little prisoners tell me that the warrior heat them and knocked them down three or four times every day, and when they arrived at Ca-chees rancho they were severely whipped. One old squaw took a knife and after mutiastng one of the boys told the warrior to take hian over to the station and sell him to me for corn. He brought the little fel- r low over, who cried and coaxed me to buy him from the Apaches, which l did do giving arti, cles to the amount of fifty dollars The poor boy said they had nearly killed him, he had not strength to walk ten steps Half an hour after the trade the Indian wanted the boy back again, but refused to give him up The other boy is at Ca-chees' ranche have not seen -g him yet The name of the boy 1 have is Brou- thea Montoyea, son of the blacksmith in From seras. He can get his boy by applying to me at Apache Pass, Gree of charge.) The other boys name is Patha Baer, the son of soldier in Fronteras. I will buy him also, for his pa rents if the Indians offer him for sale H Before close my letter must give the From teras citizens due credit for their bravery in aiding the soldiers to drive away the Indians which aid was given by running into their houses and barricading the doors and windows and they to.k good care not to show their heads until the soldiers returned and reported the In dians gone ror .ggfolagp ylnEl.F
