Oscar Roberts arrived from the south Wednesday. He reports that there is no doubt that Hall Williams was killed by Indians in the Animas valley. There were three Indians in the band supposed to be the same ones who have been operating in that section for the past four years. They left a number of worn out horses, shod with raw-hide, which they had been riding hard for several days. The ranch- men of that section have been robbed of about all their horses by the Indians for several years, Head & Hearst having lost not less than 100 head in the past two years. These three Indians have several times been seen, and there can be no doubt that they have killed four men in that section during the past few years.
