Next Tuesday is election day.
Don't forget it!
If a Democrat asks you to split
your ticket, ack him when he pplit
hia?
It is the duty of every committee
man to 6ee that the full Republican
ote of his township is polled.
Vote for Niles, Livsey. Biesecker,
Woy and Baker, and you will have
a clean record and an easy con
science. Reivm-k ans! The Democrats are
not relying on their own votes for
victory, but hope to win lecause of
your apathy.
Remember that a Republican de
feat this year places Pennsylvania
among the doubtful 6tates in next
year's Presidential battle.
The Democrats are making a etill
hunt in this county. Don't be fool
ed into the belief that they won't all
be at the polls next Tuesday.
A full Republican vote assures a
Republican majority of twenty
thousand. Our ticket can only be
beaten by stay-at-home Republi
cans.
No one has dared to dispute the
integrity and competency of Niles
or Livsey. Why should any Repub
lican scratch either of them for the
benefit of his Democratic opponent ?
The only sure way to disperse the
ten dollar a day Democratic legis
lature is to rebuke it decidedly at
the polls. Remember this, Repub
licans, and prepare to poll every
vote.
Every Republican who wants to
see a Republican President elected
next year, should put in his beet
work now. This is the preliminary
skirmish for position in next year'6
great battle.
IIoadly's majority was only l,300i
which, compared with the 19,000
majority given for the Democratic
State ticket in Ohio last year, does
not offer a discouraging outlook for
the Presidential contest
Pattison, last year, had fewer
votes than Beaver and Stewart com
bined. The Independents are unit
ed for the ticket this year. It is a
knowledge of those tacts that "gnaw
the bones" of Democratic hopes.
Ox the Cth of November Govern
ors will be elected in Massachusetts.
Maryland, Minnesota, and New
Jersey. Elections will also occur on
the same day in Connecticut, Missis
sippi. Nebraska, New York, Pennsyl
vania and Virginia.
Every day that this Democratic
Legislature remains in session cost
the tax payers S3.09G. If you want
to stop this robbery, go to the elec
tion and vote the full Republican
ticket It is the taxes collected from
the people, that those rascals are
pocketing.
It is the duty of every Republi
can to vote this year, and to see that
his neighbor votes with him. The
man who stays at home will have
no right to growl over his heavy
taxes, lie deserves to be robbed if
be will not protect his property and
his rights, by his vote.
If you dont want all the cash in
the State Treasury squandered by
the ten-dollar-a day, do-nothing
Democratic Legislature, that has
been in session since January last
at a cost of $3,000 per day, co to the
election on Tuesday next, and vote
to turn the rascals out
When the Republicans were di
vided last year and had two tickets
in the field, the Democrats carried
the State by only 3541 votes. Now
that the party is again united, and
is supporting one ticket, there is
nothing to prevent an old time Re
publican majority, if the voters go to
the polls.
Remember, that the Republican
Senate has passed eleven resolutions
at different times, in favor of final
adjournment of this extra session of
the Legislature, and that the Demo
cratic House has refused to concur,
and thus compels a continuance of
the sesstoa at a daily expense to the
tax. payees of 3,09G. Go to the
polls aoj vote ta "turn the rascals
out" : ,
Thf best and onlv wav to dis-'to
perse the ten-dollar-a-day Democrat-
ic Legislature, is to pile up tne Re-'
publican majority. A Democratic !
majority will be held as an approval ,
of its course, and there will be no i
adjournment until their successors
are elected, and drive them out, in
January, 1SS5.
The mechanic who receives from
$2 to $3 per day, and the laboring
man who earns but $1 50, will bear
in mind that each member of this
Democratic Legislature is pocketing
$10 every day for an hour s attend
ance, and that Governor Pattison 's
extra session has already cost over
$4-"2,j, every dollar of which has
to be paid by the tax payers.
Lieutenant Governor Chauncey
F. Black, in a speech made at York
last week, told his auditors that the
thirty Republican Senators refuse to
pass apportionment bills, in obedi
ence to the mandate of Cameron,
uttered beyond seas. Mr. Black
must have taken the full measure of
his fellow Democrats, when he as
sumed them to be fools enough to
swallow such a baby-elephant asser
tion. Butler, of Massachusetts, and
Pattison of Pennsylvania, are "birds
of a feather," and their administra
tions illustrate reform. Butler's ad
ministration has already spent over
$400,OUO more than that of his pred
ecessor, and has nothing to show for
it, and Pattison's extra session has,
so far, cost over 84-52,00, without
any profit to the people, and we are
promised more than another year of
it, at an expense to the tax payers of
over a million of dollars.
Through the lolly of Republicans
the Democrats were permitted last
year to electa majority of the Legis
lature, and that-body has apparently
determined to remain iu session
during its entire term of two years.
Ten dollars a day for two years, was
too great a temptation for Demo
cratic virtue to withstand, and for
the first time in the Listory of the
State, we are suffering from a per
petual legislature that doesn't pre
tend to legislate, but simply refuses
toaoiourn. so loni: as t:ie memners
can each draw ten dollars per day
for doing nothing.
Henskl, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, has
been furnished with a list of last
year's "Independents," in this coun
ty, and is mailing to them "stickers
with the name of Powell the Dem
ocratic candidate lor State Treasurer
on them, hoping that by their
use Livsey may be sneakingly de
prived of votes. This game of the
Democratic Chairman was exposed
to us by one of last year's "Inde
pendents" to whom "stickers" had
been sent with the remark that he
couldn't be used to assist a Demo
cratic fraud.
We caution Republican voters to
be on their guard. Be careful from
whom you take a ticket, and before
voting examine it, and be certain
that it contains the names of JE
ROME B. XILES and WILLIAM
LIVSEY.
We invite the attention of our
readers to the admirable address
To the voters of Pennsylvania," by
the Republican State Committee,
published in an adjoining columu.
It is a forcible presentation of the
issues involved in the election occur
ing on Tuesday next, and assigns
oogent reasons why the Republicans
of the State should put forth their
best efforts to secure the success to
which they are entitled by reason of
their numerical strength. The ne
cessity of rebuking the useless and
criminal waste of the people's mon
ey, through the medium of the extra
session of the Legislature, and sus
taining our friends in the coming
session of Congress, in the efforts
they will be compelled to put forth
in defense of the tariff, are so clearly
made manifest that no tax payer.
after its perusal, can fail to recog
nize the duty devolving upon him
on Tuesday next
Senator William A. Wallace,
i , j - v i i'ui uie u r u uie ivciiuinii-iiii
m aspeechmade ataynesburgon!(il!s .g KOnfftaeA by ..J lw
lhursoay iiiglil List, expressed tiie
determination of his party in the
Legislature to remain in xession until
Vie lat day of Derember 1SS4, unless
the Republicans yielded to Demo
cratic demands on apportionment
As Senator Gordon has announced
this as the policy of the Pattison
wing of the paty, and Wallace avows
it to be the determination of himself
and followers, any boy with a slate
and pencil can cypher out in ail-i
vance how manv hundred thousand
dollars, at the rate of $3,a per day,
.,, , , ii, ,
will yet be squandered to pay a do-
noining iegiciauire ior me next
fourteen months. Having ascer
tained that, he can then add to it
the 42,0167 which will be the
amount expended up till the first
day of November, and he will have
the entire probable cost of this Dem
ocratic extra session.
Nothing on earth will prevent this
inlamous waste of the public money
except a withering defeat of the
Democratic ticket at the election on
Tuesday next
Last year the total of the vote
cast for Beaver and Stewart exceeded
the vote of Pattison for Governor by
3,541, on a vote that was 130,000 less
than that cast for President in 1SS0.
As the Democrats made a desperate
effort to get out this vote for Pattison,
and it is admitted that many Repub
licans voted for him also, it is self
evident that a large proportion of
the stay-at-hom voters must have
been Republicans. - Now that the
Republicans of the State are united
on one ticket, the question of success
is simply one of bringing out the
Republican vote. The onlv danger
is from over confidence, or from ap-.
athy, and the only work necessary'
be done is to get out the vote.
The Democrats, stimulated by their
success in Ohio, count upon getting
out a larger proportion of their vote
than will the Republicans, and thus
secure a success they cannot other-
wise obtain. Pennsylvania is most
undoubtedly a Republican State, as
much so this year as she was in 1SS0,
and the only requisite to again prove
it, is to get out the vote. To this
task every true Republican should
address himself. Get out the vote,
and victory is certain. Fail in this
plain duty, let the Democrats secure
another triumph, and the profligate
waste of more than another million
of dollars, in continuing this extra
session of the Legislature, is certain
to follow.
TO THE VOTKKS OF PKXXsYLVA
XIA. Headquarters ")
REPUBLICAN STATE COM.,
St. Cloud Hotel, Phi la. )
October 23, 1SS3.
The attention of the people of
Pennsylvania, in these, the closing
days of the campaign of 1SS3. is spe
cially invited to two things which
ought to command their interest and
their effort. The more direct issues
are the Tariff and the present waste
ful extra session of the Legisla
ture. Our opponents seek to divert at
tention from the true issues of the
campaign. Do not be deceived ; the
question of Protection is foremost.
It must receive consideration, in the
near future, at the hands of Congress,
and a Democratic success in Penn
sylvania would encourage the policy
of leducing the Tariff and increasing
the flood of foreign importations.
On this question the Republican
colors are nailed to the masthead.
They are plain. No man misunder
stands them. The Democratic t ree
Trade organs in other States rail at
Pennsylvania, because she fearlessly
maintains the policy of Protection,
latt us show once more by our steady
front that we understand what is alike
our interest and our dut)-, and that
we are not to be deceived by the meth
ods of coercion and double-dealing
which characterize Democratic decla
rations and actions on the Tariff
question.
Before the returns of the election
can be known to our people, the
present extra session of the Legisla
ture will have cost the State the
sum of five hundred thousand dol
lars. It is continued with the sole
view of compelling an endorsement
of the Democratic State Administra
tion, the head of which is committed
to the scheme of electing Hon. Lew
is C. Cassidy to the United States
Senate. The present Democratic
State ticket was nominated pursuant
to this leading idea, and its election
will be a direct endorsement of it by
the people at least by such of them
as vote in that way. Such a result
will de proclaimed as a direct vindi
cation of the State Administration
and its extra session policy, and that
session will continue indefinitely.
It is madness to expect the Repub
licans to yield to Executive coer
cion. The basic principle of our govern
ment i that its three chief depart
mentsthe Judicial, Legislative and
Executive sliall be independent of
each other. The legislative makes
the law, the Judicial construes, the
Executive enforces. Nonecan safely
encroach upon, or threaten the pre
rogatives of another ; and if the pres
ent administrative purpose were a
thousand times as strong as it is, it
could not compel Republican Rep
resentatives or Senators to surrender
the leading principle of Republican
government, much less to promote
to the United States Senate one who
is not wholly approved by his own
part, and who has no feeling in
common with our party's interest
or purposes.
A most extensive correspondence
by the Republican State Committee,
with the people in all sections, re
veals their desire for a final adjourn
ment of the extra session. They
would have it go, without standing
upon the order of its going. They
see in its deliberations no promise of
good, and in its cotinuance, only the
most woful waste of the moneys of
the people. It is in your power to
bid it go. The election of the Re
publican State ticket will be a com
mand from the people, and the only
one they haye the opportunity to
give.
The apportionment bills offered
the Democrats by the Republican
majority in the senate, are the most
liberal ever presented by the party
practically in control of the question.
Had the uniform policy of the Dem
ocratic party, when in power in Penn
sylvania for more than a quarter
of a century been accepted, the lie
publicans would have demanded
extreme partisan gerrymandering ;
t .u" i t. ;:.'.
emtio Senators all voting for
the Republican legislative
bill, and by disputing over a single
member of Congress.
Fortunately, we have this year a
united and harmonious party.
There are no dissensions to distract
our counsels or divide our ranks.
Whatever differences have separa
ted Republicans in some past years
have now, happily disappeared, and
all members of the partv stand in
full and hearty accord upon the is-
sues of the present canvas. and up
on tne obligations of the future. if
1 a,n-v IM'ublieans have Ml aggrieved,
i the grounds of complaint have been
rt.move(. The pi!it an,j actil(lV of
; the State Convention were cordially
accepted on all si'Jes as fully meet
ing the broadest requirements: and
one of the most auspicious and grat
ifying signs of the canvass is the
fact that those who last year felt con
strained to mark out a different path,
are now among the most earnest in
their labors for the ticket, which all
Republicans adopt and support.
With this hearty union there are
no seams to heal, and it is only nec
essary to bring all our forces into ac
tion to secure a signal victory. The
united Republican party is now, as
it has been through the matchless
history of the last quarter of a cen
tury, a clear majority cf the people
of Pennsylvania ; and it falls to our
lot to stop the tide of Democratic
advance, to rebuke the perversions
of trust which have followed tempo
rary Democratic success, to sound a
warning against the threatened as
sault on the Protective Tariff, and to
prepare the way for Republican suc
cess in the great struggle of next
year..
Republicans of Pennsylvania ! the
only appeal which your State Com
mittee has to make is for increased
and continued effort from now until
election day, to the end that the full
party vote may be cast This done,
and the result will be its own best
story.

What Common People Think.
The common people of the State,
the people who are guided in their
convictions by common sense and
who take no stock in trickery or
shams, think that it shouldn't have
required a writ of mandamus at the
suggestion of the Attorney General
to make the Sinking Fund Commis

ing the investment of public funds
in government bonds.
The 6ame common peopie or com

shouldn't have, required .the Attor
ney General to 6lumber for live
months over the alleged violation of
the law by the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund and then suggest a
mandamus just on the eve of
the election that can't be
heard until a month after election
day, and then will be likely not to
be heard at all.
The common people are chuck
full of a valuable commodity com

they have no more faith in a man
damus played on the eve of an elec
tion, than they have in the Attorney
General investigating the Standard
Oil Company to ascertain whether
in obeying the Attorney: General as
former Standard Oil attorney, it has
violated the laws of the State.
As common people believe in
common sense and in common hon

play them for fools will be wiser but
sadder men when they come to
count up the profit and loss. Pfola.

Harrisburg, October 24. The

permission to absent themselves
when the Democrats resolved that

Wallace at Waynsburg.
Wayneseuro, Pa., Oct 2(5. Hon.
Win. A. Wallace and Joseph Powell,
Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer, were billed to address a
a meeting of the unterrified last even
ing. Mr. Powell failed to report.
Mr. Wallace, accompanied by Sena
tor Patton and John M. Stockdale,
of Washington, arrived on the even
ing train. Mr. Wallace spoke for
about an hour to a small audience
which did not display much enthusi
asm. Hy devoted his efforts mainly
to defending his position on the ap
portionment measures and charging
the Republicans with being obstruc
tionists and traitors to the Constitu
tion. He expected the determina
tion of his part in the Legislature to
worry the Republicans of the Senate
until they are forced to give in, and
to remain in session, if need be, until
the last day of December, 1S84. He
was followed by (Jo!. Stockdale with
one of hii characteristic speeches,
full of bitterness and rancor, which
disgusted the audience and half
emptied the house in five minutes.

Pottsvillr, October 25. An
adopted daughter of James Barry,
living at Germonville, fifteen miles
from here, is lying in a precarious
state in the last stages of hydrpho
bia. About a year ago she was bit
ten by a dog. The wound was neg
lected at the time, but apparently
healed up. A few days ago the girl,
who is now thirteen years of age,
becan acting strangely, and yester
day took to her bed. Before medi
cal aid could be summoned she be
came speechless, and then went into
violent spasms, in which she barked
and snarled at those surrounding
her bed, in the most vicious manner.
To-day, during a more quiet inter
val, she signified that she desired to
write, and paper and pencil being
furnished, she scribbled :
"The dog has done it all."
Soon after another paroxysm set
in, and at last accounts she was be
lieved to be dying.
A Daring Iiurglarjr.
Columbia, October 25. A daring
robbery was committed at Marietta,
a small town four miles west of Co
lumbia, last night. While Abram
N. Cassel, a wealthy lumber merch
ant of the above town, and his fam
ily were attending a religious meet
ing, his house was entered feloni
ously. Mr. Cassel and his family
returned home in a short time to
discover, upon trying the frontdoor,
that it was locked on the inside. Mr.
Cassel hastened to the rear of the
house and saw. the robbers spring
out of the back door. A large sum
of money and other valuables were
stolen, and the family silver plate
was found on the dining room ta
ble packed in a box ready to be car
ried away. No arrests have been
made.

Cleveland, (October 24 A hor
rible crime is reported from New
Philadelphia, Tuscarwas County.
Albert Frizer, a young farmer, mur
dered his wife and three children,
and himself. The particulars of the
terrible tragedy thus far received
art very meagre. Frizer has been
in ill health for some time past He
has been working its a farm hand
and fourid much difficulty in sup
porting his faiuiiy. ,On Sunday
night he met his brother-in-law. John
Judy, of New Philadelphia, and in
formed him in a discouraged man
ner that his health was so bad that
he Mas unable to work any longer,
Judy endeavored to cheer Frizer up
and the latter departed homeward.
This was the last seen of him alive.
. His house was a rude uffiur. lo
cated in an out-of-the-way place.
Late last night a neighbor of Frizer's
called at his house, for the purpose
of borrowing a fanning implement
No one answered his knock, and lie
opened the door. A horrible sight
met his gaze. .Airs. Frizer lay upon
the floor iu a pool of blood, with
her throat cut froiu ear to ear. On
the bed was the body of the eldest
child, a girl of eignt, her body muti
lated in a sickening manner, in a
crib were the bodies of two younger
children, their corpses covered with
blood.
One account wtales that Frizer lay
dead in a corner of the room, with
a blood-stained butcher knife clutch
ed in his hand. Another says that
by ma side, was an empty gun
barrel with no hammer or stock, from
which it is inferred that holding one
end of the barrel in the lamp which
stood nuiir he blew out bis brains.
Tnere was no evidence of a scuf
fle in the room, or other indications
that the crime was committed by an
outsider. Worried Dy sickness and
a fear of approacning poverty, Frizer
probably thought it best to murder i
his wife and babes rather than see
them in want. . '
The Georgia Ku-Klux Trial.
Atlanta, Oct 24. The; Bank;
county Ku-Klux trial was begun to
day. The defendents are Jasper,
James, Dilinus andNeal Yarbrough,
Lovel Streetman, Bold Emery, State
Summons and K. 11. Green. Ex
Congressman Speer appeared for the
prosecution.
Warren Bryson testified that he
was called from nis home one night
in July and lieateu by it crowd of
masked men. -The mob swtre ven-j
geance against tne negroes ol the
locahtv who voted for hx-Congrens
man Speer. Broyson was hit on the
head with a pistol and otherwise
maltreated.
Calvin Bush testified that he was
taken out of bed by a howling mob,
who stripped him and gave him one
hundred and seventy-five lashes.
He was stripped in court and dis
played the scars made by their
lashes.
Elisha Brooks told of how he was
taken out and whipped by a crowd,
who remarked: "You see what your
damned Sneer has done for you."
He recognized Jasper Yarbrough in
the mob and 1 arbrough said: "If
you know anybody in this crowd
and tell on him I'll put you in your
grave." Elisha F. Brooks was
with brass buckles. Brooks was
also beaten with brass knuckles.
Ben Sanders gave an account of how
he was shot three times by a mob
and left for dead. The evidence will
probably be concluded, to-morrow.
The defense will endeavor to prove
an alibi and will contend that the
cases should be tried in the State
Court. A verdict of guilty was ren
dered, but the prisoners have not yet
been sentenced.
ltailroad Robbers.
- Sr. Lor is, October 25 A special
from Walnut Ridge Ark., says an at
tempt was made to rob the north
bound express train on the Iron
Mountain railroad lat night about
10 o'clock between Okean and Dela
plaine, fifteen miles north of this
place. Fortunately the express
train was late and the local freight
was running on the time of the ex
press. The local was signaled by
three lanterns, and when stopped
was boarded by a party of six men
all heavily armed. After questions
they found they had stopped the
wrong train and passed into the
woods with many curses, but with
out molesting anything or anybody.
The conductor of the local telegraph
er the road master. Col. Grifliu, at
this place, who summoned a posse
of citizens, headed by John Rhea
and accompanied by U. S. Marshal
O. K. Wheeler, who went north on
the belated express, eager for a fight
with robbers, but no further attempt
was made to rob the train. The
robbers were all large men from thir
ty to forty years old and wore heavy
overcoats. They crrried common
lanterns and seemed to know their
business. Every effort is being
made to capture them.
A 1'ristnipr Tlnrtet-n Days Without
Food, Bat iu Good Health,
Bklvidkkb, X. J., October 2'.
YiU rdav was the thirteenth dav
that Peter C. Sniull, the supposed i
horse thief, passed without partak
ing of food. Since his removal from
the new to the Id jail, where he is
uwuitiii": trial, he has shown an ugij'
spirit, threatening his fellow pris
oners and the eiheriff with vengeance
whenever on opportunity should
offer itself. His mother and sisters
visited him last week, bringing with
them large quantities of deliccie-t
but Sniull reiused to eat. Dr. Lefl
erts, jail physician, had given him
a careful examination, and found
that he WM in perfect health and
his etomaoh in its normal con
dition. As yet no injurious effects
are visible from his long fast; his
pulse is strong and vigorous, and
he daily exercises and drinks water
freely Just what Smull's inten
tions are no one can fathom. He
talks freely, speaks with great confi
dence that he will be acquitted of
the charges of horse stealing made
against him, and says they can onlv
convict him of an attempt to break
jail, and he didn't believe the court
will punish liim very severely for
that.-

An Explosion at Kingston Factory.
Wilkesbaukk, Oct. 23. A terrible
report, which startled all the people
of Kingston, took place this after
noon in that village. It resembled
the noie of a great powder explo
sion and such it turned out to be.
Tho Excelsior Gas Squib Factory
employs eight hands, all children,
ranging in ages from eleven to fif
teen years, in the manufacture of
squibs for use in the mines. About
1 o'clock, just as the last employe
entered the building, an exp'sion took
place and in an instant the whole
building was wrapped in flames and
the unfortunate employes were en
closed amidst the burning timbers,
writhing in the most terrible ngony.
The clothes : were entirely stripped
from their bodies, and altogether
they presented a very sickening
sight A great crowd by this time
had gathered. The miners turned
out en masse and the excitement
ran high. Assistance was rendered
as soon as possible and the unfortu
nate victims conveyed to their
homes. Mattie James, the oldest
employe, was horribly burned, the
flesh hanging in threads lrom her
body and died at a late hour to
night. Eight were injured altogeth
er and it is only possible for three of
them to live. The real cause of the
explosion is unknown, but it is
thought to have been caused by a
spark from a wook fire which was
burning in the room where the chil
dren worked. The children aro
mostly the sons and daughters of
miners. Hattie Mass told her moth
er before going to work that she had
been inspired that she was going to
die to-day.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF TIIE HOKRIBLK
AFFAIR.
The people of Kingston were start
led this, afternoon by a loud explo
sion. It was soon discovered that
the Excelsior squib factory had been
torn to pieces, and that night chil
dren em ploved there had been blown
oat with flying timbers in every di
rection. 1 he exact cause of the ac
cident is yet unknown, but it is
thought a spark from wood burning
in the stove blew out into a keg of
powder. The victims are between
eleven and sixteen years old. Mat
tie James, whose body is a complete
crisp and filh d with powder, has
died. Marg Quinn w:is burned to a
crisp and will die. Mattie JUo.-s
had her feet burned and was blown
into the creek. She will recover.
John Evans was so badly burned
that he since died. Jamr-s Steele
will die from his terrible burns.
Lizzie Edwarn was seriously burned.
but may live. Mamie Norris is a
mass of scarified flesh and is dying.
Johnny James is terribly burned,
but may recover. It is thought that
three more of the injured will die
before morning.
Horrible Murdrr-t.
Toledo, Oct. 2ti. A special to the
Evening 'Ike from Wauseon, Ohio,
gives the particulars of an atrocious
murder committed live miles from
there Tuesday night, A farmer
named George W. Williams drove
into Wauseon that afnnoon with a
load of clover-seed, for which ho re
ceived quite a large euni.
After returning home nothing was
seen of him or his family by the
neighbors for two days, and last
evening search was instituted. In
the barn was found the lifeless body
of Williams. His head w almost
severed from the body. His wife
was found in the house with her
head split open and the brain oozing
out, while the six-weeks-old infant
was found on a bed, nearly starved
Money and other valuables known
to have been in the possession of the
family are missing. Last night the
Marshal at Wauseon arrested a man
named Johnson, who had in his po
session a watch known to belong to
Williams. He was held to answer
the charge of murder.
The Apache Kouteil.
Tombstone, A.T., Oct. 2". r. II.
Stuart, who has returned here from
Swischolme mountains, says the
Apaches have been routed by the
Mexican troops with great slaughter.
The troops had been stationed so ns
to prevent the retreat of the savaies
into Seirre Mad re mountains. Tiie
Indians then turned and fled toward
Arizona, closely followed by the
Mexicans, who overtook them in
the extreme end of Swischelme
mountains, where a running fight
ensued. The Mexican commander
suited that if his troops had not been
completely worn on! by fighting and
forced marches fie would have driv
en the red devils on the San Carlos
reservation himself. Stuart says a
large body of the routed Indians
passed hi ranche. They were poor-
lv clad, but lully one-third of them
had retained their firearms.
