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.
