Fifteen of the Mescalero Apaches
have gone on the war path. They
had a fight with a lot of Mexicans
near Tularosa recently . If the bucks
of this reservation, in Lincoln county,
N. M., go out in force they will do in
calculable damage. It is known that
many of these strongly gympathiied
with the Chiricahua Apaches, and
were anxious to go on the war path
early in the spring. They were re
strained only by the most careful and
repressive measures adopted by the
Indian agent. El Paso Bulletin.
The White Mountain scout who,
some two months ago, was shot by his
brother, wounding him in the arm
and leg, while six miles east of the
Agency buildings, is said, by Indians,
to be the man who killed Capt. Hen
tig. The Indian who did the shooting
who is also a scout is in prison at
Camp Apaehe. If it is true that the
wounded Indian is guilty of the death
of Capt Hentig, he too should have
been executed with Dandy Jim, Dead
Shot and Skippy at Camp Grant, for
the same offense. Silver Belt.
The Philadelphia News says that
despite the proverbial ingratitude of

Speaking of the recent attempt on
the part of Chinamen to become citi
zens of the United States, at El Paso,
the Las Vegas Gazette says it seems
to be considered possible to become
citizen of the United States. To
this the El Paso Times replies that
some Chinamen there attempted to
take out their first naturalization pa
pers at the district clerk's office, but
did not succeod, and that there is no
foundation in fact for the sensational
rumors.
From Constable Letson who arrived
in this city abdut noon to-day, we
learn that a courier passed through
Fairbank last evening with tho intel
ligence that there was a band of hos
tiles in Cochise stronghold in the
Dragoon mountains. Mr. Letson
states that one company of cavalry
passed through Fairbank this morn
ing about 3 o'clock for the Dragoons,
and that another company arrived
about 8 o'clock this morning and are
now stationed below Fairbank in
order to intercept the hostiles should
they attempt to cross over to the
Whetstone mountains.
County Physician - Willis, assisted
by Dr. Matthews, amputated the arm
of Mr. Thompson who was shot in
Fairbank by Justice Smith. The am

tion. Ex-Sheriff John H. Behan is the
next man to be appointed superin

War of Creeds.
During "the past year the Presby
vterian Board of Missions have kept
up a mission school at the Indian
Pueblo of Isleta, twelve miles south of
thi city, Mr. J. R. Hawley and wife,
have had charge of the school, and
have met with excellent success in
teaching, the little Indians modern
civilization. The success this school
has met with has stirred up the ill
feeling of other sects, and x small
religious war seems imminent Th
governor of the pueblo, headed by the
parish priest, has ordered that the
school shall be closed. This order
was given last Friday. The order de
manded that the school should not
open to-day, if Mr. Hawley refused to
close the school trouble, was expected.
There are so few schools in New Mex
ico, that every one, no matter of
what creed or nationality, should be
encouraged. Albuquerque Journal.
Sandy Bob is considered a good
judge of eggs, and having purchased
some from Schoenfeld & Heyman
some time ago, a thought struck him
to as the advice of "Arkinsaw" Bill
Ritchie, as to whether he, Bill,
thought they would do for "settin."
Bill looked at the aforesaid eggs,
and suid : "Sandy, after I seed them,
I think as I told you afore, that thar
is tue big a hole in the end for 'em
ever to hatch all to wentz."
A reporter of The Daily Tomb-
sone interviewed Bob and Bill to-day,
and sure enough Bill was correct in
his predictions. It is useless to say

Communicated.
Editor Daily Tombstone: Dear
Sir: The report of the Tombstone
papers as has been reported to them
in regard to the shooting in Fairbank
on Saturday night last is not wholly
correct. The fact of the case is about
as follows :
In the first place, Wilson got drunk
on Saturday and commenced a diffi
culty with me, calling me all sorts of
names and accusing me of assisting
others in robbing him out of $800. In
regard to that matter Mr. Fortlouis,
of Tombstone, attached Wilson, and
served the papers. After Wilson call
ing me a son-of-a-b I knocked him
down. He then went to his saloon
and attacke'd a man named Mills, cas
ing him a son-of-a-b , and ordered
him out of his saloon. He next at
tacked an old man who was sitting on
the porch, saying to him, "What are
you doing here? you old son-of-a-b
and at the same time striking him
with a chair. The man started to
leave the house, when Wilson followed
and struck at him with a chair. A
warrant was issued for the arrest of
Wilson, and I arrested him. The
above statement was proven in court,
Justice Smith fining him $15. Wilson,
failing to pay the fine, was committed
to the ' county jail for fifteen days.
Had Wilson been sober at the time, I
have no doubt he would have paid the
fine. The man Thompson was left in
charge of Wilson's saloon, and in the
evening he got drunk, and meeting
Justice Smith at the store of De Mar
tine, commenced calling him names,
and, without a moment's warning,
struck him a heavy blow on the side
of the head with a heavy stick, knock
ing him down, and as Smith at
tempted to regain his feet, Thompson
again knocked him down with the
stick, and continued it to the third or
fourth time. It's only a wonder to me
that the blows Smith received with
such a club did not break his head.
This latter assault I did not witness
myself, but it was detailed to me by
some five or six men who witnessed
the whole pounding. These men tried
to interfere, and Thompson knocked
two of them down. As to the shoot
ing, 1 Know notning, oniy mat
Thompson was severely wounded.
The foregoing statement is correct, so
far as I know of my own knowledge
and what I learn from others who
were witnesses. James Letson,
Constable of Fairbank.
Fairbank, Jan. 2G.
Engaged to One SIio Hadn't
Seen.
A young lady of beauty and intelli
gence stepped from the Erie train at
Canistoe, N. Y. recently and inquired
in an excited manner for a livery sta
ble. Mr. Kenyon, of the Canistoe
House, provided her with an outfit
and sent his son along as driver. She
went to Hartsville, and on her return
related her story. She said her home
was Rollin, Michigan, and that her
name Theda A. Strumbli. Several
months ago she received a letter from
George Benjamin, of Hartsville, who
had said he had. found her name on a
pasteboard box cover in a car-seat on
the New York Central Railway. He
wanted to correspond with her, and
delighted with the romantic idea, she
wrote him.
The lotters became frequent and
affectionate. He asked her for her
picture, and got it, but from him she
could only get a description, which
was to the effect that he had dark
hair, moustache and eyes, and was
good-looking. They next became en
gaged and New Year's was set for the
wedding. On that day the bridegroom
failed to appear, but a telegram from
his sister said that "George" was very
low with typhoid fever and he was con
tinually asking for "Theda." She
hurried to his bedside at his sister's
request, being promised that the mar
riage would soon take place. On her
arrival at his house she said she found
that he had not been sick at all ; that
he was far from good-looking and a
shiftless fellow, with red hair, squint
eyes and tured-up nose. The look of
disappointment and broken-hearted-ness
on the confiding girl's face, as
she told her story, keenly feeling that
she had been trifled with, was very
pitiful.
Bullion Product.
The Daily Tombstone is indebted
to Wells, Fargo & Co's agent, Mr.
Scribner, for the following shipments
of bullion from the territories of Ari
zona and .New Mexico lor the year
1885: "
Arizona Gold, $846,425 ; Silver,
$5,748,720. Total, both gold and sil
ver, $6,595,146.
New Mexico Gold, $286,519; Sil
ver, $3,639,246 ; or a total of $3,825,
763.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the bullion shipment from Ari
zona amounts to $2,769,483 more than
the territory of New Mexico.
Tne K. of P.
About twenty members of the
Knights of Pythias of this city took
their departure yesterday for Benson,
to assist in confering the Oriental de
gree upon members of Benson Lodge,
K. of P. There were 17 members
upon whom the degree was conferred.
After the lodge business was over
the Knights adjourned to the banquet'
hall where the tables were fairly groan
ing witn an tne delicacies ot tne sea
son. The guests sat down about mid
night, and none left the festive board
until about three o'clock this morn
ing, when the Tombstoners had their
teams hitched up and started for
home, arriving here at about 8 o'clock
this morning.
The parties who went from here to
Benson are all profuse in their praise
of the people of Benson for the fine
treatment they received, and for their
hospitality.
Generals Miles annCrook.
The New York Times remarks:
"General Miles is undoubtedly a good
Indian fighter, but no reason has yet
been shown why he should supercede
General Crook, who has no superior
in the same line." The Times is
slightly in error. Several good reas
ons have been shown why General
Crook should be removed from Ari
zona to some other military depart
ment. That he gained distinction in
his earlier forays against the Indians
cannot be denied. It is now urged
however, that he is too old for fron
tier service, and that his manner of
dealing with the hostiles is too lenient.
These offending Chiricahuas had pre
viously broken away from the reser
vation and gone on the warpath three
different times, marking their course
with rapine, robbery and murder,
When they were captured and brought
back by the troops, no attempt was
ever made to inflict punishment upon
the offenders, who were not only fed
by the government, but so far enjoyed
the confidence of General Crook that
he employed several of the number as
scouts, who, of course, betrayed him.
It was this mild treatment to the In
dians which caused the people of Ari
zona in mass meetings and the press
throughout the Territory to demand
the removal of General Crook. Brave
a man and excellent a military officer
as he has proved himself to be, it is
evident, since he is no longer admired
by the residents of Arizona and New
Mexico, that it would be an act of
prudence to transfer him to some
other field of labor. S. F. Call.

BISBEE.
A Trip to the Bosh Copper Camp
of the Went.
On Monday afternoon a representa
tive of The Daily Tombstone started
for Bisbee, and after a ride of about
two hours across the broad mesas ar
rived at Sandy Bob's ranch. Halting
here for a few moments to water the
horses, the reporter was shown where
Na-dis-ough, the Apache squaw, was
first seen and where she was captured.
Leaving Sandy Bob's a short ride
brought us to Jimmy Carr's station.
Arriving when we did we found every
bodo busy, and a large number of an
imals in the stables. We did not lin
ger long at. this place just simply pas
sing the time of day with J.ako Bow
man, Sim Dodson and Charles Wright,
teamsters who are well known in this
city. A ride of about a mile brings
you to Banning's where you are sure
to see the genial face of Mr. Banning
as he come out to collect toll from you
and invites you to come in and sam
ple some of his wet groceries, of which,
he keeps all kinds. Leaving Ban
nings you commence to climb the
mountains, going up a very steep
grade for about teree miles. The re
porter traveled over this grade in the
night, and it was a grand signt, on the
down grade in the Bisbee canyon, to
see the flashes of light from the Queen
smelters.
Arriving in Bisbee we pnt .our
horses up in Hinko's corral, which
seems to be the leading corral of that
burg, and where our horses were well
cared for. We stayed over night at
the Bisbee House, conducted by Mrs.
Mansfield. This lady takes elegant
care of her guests, and makes them
feel at home while at her heuse.
While there we dined with Mrs.
