A Shrewd Ueteetlve.
Some time ago a. confidential clerk
iu the employ of a firm in Indiana
skipped the gutter with several thou
sand dollars in ready cash. While it
was determined to hunt him down at
all hazards the firm did not feel like
wasting a great deal of money in so
doing. A one-horse country detective
was therefore employed, and after a
while he traced his man to Detroit.
The detective did not propose to share
any of the glory with the Detroit of
ficers, and he slid around for a week
before he learned that his man was in
Windsor. Then hs went over there,
still working on the quiet, and a nice
young man at one of the hotels in
formed him that the defaulter had
just gone to Toronto, but would be
back in a few days. The pair became
fast friends, and the nice young man
had his daily drinks and cigars at the
detective's expense. The two came
over to Detroit and attended the
theatre and had a good time, and it
was the opinion of the officer that he
never met such a nice young man.
Finally, a night or two ago, as they
landed from a boat on the other side,
the detective inquired :
,:You must be an agent of ome
sort?"
"Oh, no," was the reply, "I am sim
ply traveling for pleasure."
"Where do you live when at home?"
"In Indiana."
"Why, I'm from Indiana!"
"Yes, you told me so the first day."
"Whereabouts in Indiana?"
"Vincennas."
"Good gracious! but my home is
only three miles from Vincennes."
"Yes, I know."
"What did you do in VincenneB?"
"Clerked for Lath &. Shingles."
"What! Why, that is the very firm
that was robbed !"
"Yes, I know," was the placid reply.
"And your name is what?" queried
the detective.
"William Green."
"Great scots ! but you are the chap
who stole the money!" howled the
officer.
Yes, certainly. What are you go
ing to do about it?" calmly replied
the nice young man as he lighted an
other fifteen-center.

Am Apache AmhuNcude.
Silvfr Cm-, N. M., Dec. 22. The
ambuscade, by the Apaches, of Lieu
tenant Fountain's command, near
White House, on Saturday morning,
was a perfect and successful surprise.'
The troops were following a fresh trail
with aviditv, without apparently
thinking of an ambush, and were
within a short range when the In
dians opened fire wfth fatal effect. In
the fight which followed the renegades
had every advantage, and it is a won
der that more of the soldiers were
not killed. The Indians being dis
mounted dispersed in various direc
tions and were soon out of the way of
pursuit by the troops. Surgeon Mad
dox, who is among the killed, was
about thirty-three years old, and a
native of Maryland, where his father,
also a physician, is still practicing.
He was very popular, and his death is
deeply mourned. This disaster to
the troops has created great excite
ment in this locality.
Deputy SHerlHTJInrdered.
Pkebcott, Ariz., 22. A courier has
just arrived from Walnut Creek, forty
miles west of here, with intelligence
that Deputy Sheriff J. M. Murphy,
had been murdered there last night
while attempting to arrest D. W.
Dilda, charged with burglary. Mur
phy was warned of the desperate
character of the man and was offered
assistance, which he refused. Shortly
after leaving the neighboring ranch,
firing was heard and Murphy's failure
to return instigated a search for him.
They found where he had apparently
fallen and been dragged away, but
his body had not been found when
the courier left. Sheriff Mulvenon
and posse have just left, heavily
armed, for the scene of the tragedy.
If Dilda is captured he will probably
be lynched, as Murphy was one of the
most popular men in Yavapai county.
TheCuxloiu in Chicago.
A man with a red goatee rushed
into Binder's barber shop, on Eighth
street, late last night, and got into the
fourth chair, which is presided over
by a tonsorial genius called "Solitude"
who has never been known to say any
thing but "Next" since he has been
employed in the shop. The man said,
in a jerky way :
"In a hurry want to catch 10:25
train, Broad Street Station Chicago."
Then he began unbuttoning his
shoes. When he got them unbuttoned
he tossed them across the shop at
Sam, the colored brush boy, and said :
"In a hurry want to catch the
10:25 train, Broad Street Station
Chicago." John Houser, the barber on the
fifth chair, looked at the barber on
the fourth chair, then both barbers
looked at the man who wanted to
catch the 10:25 train. Then they
looked at Sam, the colored boy, wno
was gathering up the shoes. Then
they looked at the man's coffee col
ored socks, just as two customers hur
ried out. As a third was about to
leave, John Bach, the shop foreman,
whispered to him.
"Don't mind that, the man's from
Chicago. That's a regular custom in
Chicago."
The customer sat down again. The
barber called "Solitude" recovered
himself quickly and began shaving
the Chicago man. He was shaved in
a few minutes and when the barber
started to comb his hair he said :
"In a hurry ; want to catch 10 5
train, Broad Street Station, Chicago."
His boots were blackened and he
put them on in a jiffy. The colored
man started to brush his clothes. The
man put on his overcoat as he started
for the door. The colored boy started
to brush it and the man said:
"Never mind; in a hurry; want to
catch 10:25 train; Broad Street Sta
tion ; Chicago."
Then he slammed the door and
everybody looked at everybody in sur
prise. Foreman Bach said it was the
first time a man had ever taken off
his boots in tbat shop.

A yonng man in the employ of J.
Mouasch, the popular tailor, met with
a very severe accident last evening
while passing through the door of the
Oriental saloon, a piece of glass be
came detached from the transum ovei
head and fell striking him on the
nose, almost severing that useful
member from his face. Dr. Mathews
was called and the wounded man had
his wovnds dressed and was taken to
his room.
The social dance given last evening
at Schieffelin Hall was a grand suc
cess, and some six or eight hundred
dollars was netted for the purposes of
paying off the indebtedness on the
Catholic church. The raille for the
watch and sofa cushion was conduct
ed in a fair and impartial manner.
After the raille the floor was cleared
and dancing was indulged in until a
an early hour this morning. Ticket
number 466 won the gold watch and
chain while ticket number 81 drew
the elegant sofa cushion. But the
holders of either tickets were not in
the hall to claim their prizes.
After the drawing .- ; elegant repast
was spread for the a i.lioucc by the
ladies of the church. Taken all in all
this was the most successful charita
ble affair that ever took place iu this
city.
Till: IIOSTIL.K APACIIKS.
Amlirone I.jnll ol' Sulphur
Spring; Valley TcIIm ol
their loing.
Ambroe Lyall, of Sulphur Springs
Valley, A. T., who is now in this city,
has had some experience with the
hostile Apaches, who have been off
the San Carlos reservation for the
past seven or eight months. He left
Wilcox, A. T., on the 22d of last No
vember and came here on business,
which will keep him here until after
the holidays. His wife and children
are now in Wilcox, where he moved
his family last October, so that his
children might have an opportunity
of attending school. Mr. Lyall has a
cattle ranch at Soldier's Holes, in
Sulphur Springs Valley, about 25
miles from Tombstone- There are
only about five ranches in Sulphur
Springs Valley, and there are not
more than fifteen men in a radius of
his place. The name
t.
Soldiers
Holes" originated from the fact of a
soldier having, while searching for
water, dug a number of holes there in
quest of it, and was a- iply rewarded.
In response to a r. , vst that he
should relate some of the incidents of
the Indian warfare of his section, Mr.
Lyall said: On the 8th of last June
the hostile Apaches came within 25
miles of my ranch, and killed some
beeves belonging to my partner, W..T.
Sanderson- The Indians then left for
Mule Mountains, five miles away, and
and went into oamp and jerked beef.
Billy Daniels happened along soon
after the Apaches had made the and
struck the trail, which he followed
four miles, until he became satisfied
that it was an Apache trail and of the
course they had taken. He then
came back and getting a party to
gether, started for the mountains iu
search of the hostiles. The pursuers
followed the Indians well up into the
aonataiM aad came in sight of them
but the Indians must have had scouts
on the lookout and been aware that a
party was on their trail, as they closed
in on the pursuing party, and Daniels
who was somewhat ahead of the oth
ers was shot and killed. The balance
of the whites made their escape. Billy
would not have been killed if he had
not been so persistent in following
them into the mountains. From this
camp the Indians went into Gun da
loupe Canyon, where they came upon
a camp iu charge of eight seldiers, the
balance of the command being away
in the mountains searching for them.
The hostiles killed five of the soldiers,
and the remaining three made their
escape. In this camp the Indians
found a good supply of ammunition
and provisions, and after taking all
they could carry away they set fire to
the remainder.
The party which made this raid
numbered from fifteen to, twenty.
They went into an eight-acre lot near
a ranch half a mile from Sanderson's
and stole eight saddle horses. While
they were taking the stock two In
dians were placed near the cabin door
as a guard, but they got off with the
stock without any trouble. The re
turn trail of this party ran within
three miles of my cabin, and they
took a mule belonging to Sanderson
and me. Although only twenty In
dians were seen it is thought that the
full party numbered one hundred and
they broke up into small bands to do
more mischief. 1 bet there have heen
three hundred Indians riding over
the country. The toldiers don't pre
tend to be able to come up with them.
They ean't do it. The soldiers can't
follow them over the mountains. 1
have not heard of an Indian being
killed by the soldiers since they start
ed out months ago after the hostiles.
On the 1st of last October I took
my family in my wagon and started
from Soldier's Holes for Willcox. On
the night of that day 1 camped at
Sulphur Springs, and started the next
morning for Willcox, where I stayed
with my family. My hired man and
four or five other men started to re
turn the next day to Soldier's Holes.
They camped that night at Sulphur
Springs. My man slept near the
wagon and the other boys went into
the house to sleep. Just before day
light the Apaches made a descent
upon the camp and stole my mule
and eight head of horses belonging to
the Sulphur Springs ranch. They
probably did not imagine that my
hired man was asleep near the wagon
or they would have raised his scalp.
The raid was very quickly and silent
ly carried out, and the men in the
house did not realize that the Indians
were about until they carried off the
stock. Their trail was found at day
light by my man. Three of the boys
from the ranch took the trail and fol
lowed after them, but they were all
killed. This party, which consisted
of twenty Apaches, went from the
valley to Mike Noonan's ranch and
killed him. His body was warm when
it was found. Noonan had killed an
Apache two years ago when they were
on a raid, and they were after him for
a long time. They had been keeping
a constant watch for him, and were
successful in catching him the saint
day that they raided the Sulphur
Springs ranch. They don't want to
kill all the ranchers that are on the
line of their trail, but where they
have a grudge, as in Noonan's case,
they will go out of their way for re
venge. General Crook and his sol
diers are never going to catch these
hostiles. Soldiers nre placed at all the
watering places and at all the gaps in
the mountains. The soldiers cannot
follow the trail and come up with
them, as the Apaches will outride
them every time. Then it is the worst
thing that was ever done, having
those Indian scouts along with the
soldiers. I believe the scouts keep
the hostiles posted whenever the sol
diers arc coming. It is natural they
should, as they all belong to the same
family. I believe the Indian scouU
would go plumb over to the hostiles
if they should be discharged from the
Government service. The only way
to settle the matter is to take all the
Indians on the San Carlos reservation,
including the scouts, and corral them
in the Indian Territory or some place
where they uannot break out, and
then hunt down the renegades that
are out. They may be killed or will
be driven into Mexico. S. F. Call.
