On The War Path The following is from the Hillsboro Advo- cate of the 19th: Late yesterday evening the following dis- patch was received by Sheriff Story: Chloride, via Engle, Sept. 18 Sheriff A. M. Story, Hillsboro: Oscar Piontenhauer and Fred Bumbaugh were killed by Indians up Chloride creek today. — W. O. Thompson. Mr. Thompson is the editor of the Chloride Black Range, and the information contained in the dispatch is unquestionably correct. Some five or six weeks ago Indians were seen passing through the Cook’s Peak country, and it was then predicted that murders and depredations would soon be heard of as the result of their presence in the country. It is supposed that this is a predatory band of Apaches from the San Carlos reservation now on their return to Arizona, and it is feared they may do a large amount of damage enroute. Information has been sent to all the camps in the vicinity of their probable line of escape, and it is to be hoped the marauders may yet be apprehended.
