Chihuahua, May 11, 1883.
News was received here yesterday that
a band of twelve Indians nad made an
attack upon some citizens twenty-five
miles west of Gallego on the Carmel
road, and had killed one and wounded
anothgr. Gallego is a station about
seventy-five miles north of Chihuahua

The Sonora. Fight.
San Fbancisco, May 11.—A dispatch
received this morning from Hermosillo,
Mexico, dated the 10th, says:
Colonel Torres returned last night from
the Sierre Mad re, whe^e he has been
pursuing the Apaches for twenty days.
He found them entrenched in a moun-
tain stronghold, and attacked with 300
troops. Having dislodged the Indians,
the troops flanked the hostiles, charging
them in the rear at the point of the bayo-
net. The Indians fled, leaving eleven
dead.
Five soldiers were killed and eight seri-
ously wounded Colonel Torres says the
Apaches fought savagely, and were
armed with repeating rifles. Colonel
Torres thinks the Indian troubles in So-
nora are ended. The troops returned to
Guaymas and Montezuma with the
wounded, and replenished their rations.
Further reports are looked for this even-
ing.
San Francisco, May Jl.—The
Chronicle's special from Hermosillo,
Sonora, gives further particulars of
Torres fight with Indians. He had
been pursuing the Apaches for twenty
days on a trail which left Monteznma
district in northeastern Sonora at
Gunzsman, and was joined by Colonel
Garcia. They made a forced march of
five days and nights. Scouts spied the
Indiaas moving off. On the 25th of April
Torres struck a large body in a stronghold
heretofore unknown to old scouts.
It had appearance of being settled three
or four years. There was a quantity of
stolen stock and old huts, scouts at-
tacked, were driven back to the
main body of troops. The moun-
tain being quite inaccessable, the
cavalry were dismounted and made a
march of twelve miles. Found the In-
dians strongly intrenched on the crest of
a large spur of high mountains. Troops
300 strong, made an attack at one o'clock
and had to climb the monntains on their
hands and knees, rhe Indians failing to
damage them by firing, rolled boulders
and big rocks down the steep mountain
side without effect. The chief was sup-
posed to have been Ju. He was stationed
on a high point of the mountain. His
command of Indians could be heard
distinctly for miles. It took two
hours for the troops to gain the crest of
mountains. When reached, two were shot
dead. The fight on the summit lasted
two hours. The troops swinging behind
the left of the Indians, made an attack,
charging bayonets,forcing on them from
covered positions. The Indians retreat-
ed, leaving dead bucks mi the ground.
The Indians were driven four miles, and
the trail showed much bloocR
A great many supposed to be wounded.
Torres says it was the most savage fight
ever made with the Apaches. He says
they retreated north-easterly, toward
Chihuahua. He thinks there b no doubt
that the ranches were long unknown.
The stronghold of the Apaches is 250
miles southeast from the Arizona bor-
der. Tones savs that the trail shews all

that time there was nothing in Elliotts
hands. The men then went out of sight
behind the partition,and the witness next
saw Dunn standing over Elliott's dead
body. He heard this morning that
Hardy, a juror, suspected of being a
sporting character, is a respectable resi-
dent of the city. The counsel for the
defense certifies that the trial will con-
clude by Thursday next.
Chicago, May 11.—A. Smith, a law
student, was in Tivoli at the time, of the
tragedy and saw Dunu enter, raise
his hand and fire a pistol.
In all he beard seven or eight shots. His
testimony corroborated the two preced
mg witnesses in all main essentials.
Wbiteman was in the rear and sitting at
the south side of the table looking east
Dan Elliott and Plaisted came
in and sat at the first table
south of him, and Jaugaon, proprietor,
came iu and conversed with them. Wit-
ness saw Joe Dunn came in; he walked
rapidly down the passage way, and when
near the stove drew a revolver and ad-
vanced a step, took aim at Elliott, who
was leaning back in his chair, and fired
two shots. " I should say,"' said
witness, "he took deliberate aim.'
Witness saw EIDiott rise from his chair
He then tried to escape from the room.
Witness heard four more shots fired, and
when he next saw Elliott he was lying
on the floor and Dunn was standing near
the cashiers desk, and Dunn
referring to Elliott with an oath
remarked "I have got it down in him
now." Davis, colored waiter, saw Dunn
enter the place, heard a shot tired, turned
around and saw Elliott rise from his
chair. Duun then fired two shots and
retreated into the rear room. The men
then grappled, and when they arose
from the floor both had their re-
volvers drawn. Win. Langtlou, otherwise
known as "Appetite Bill*' had conscien-
tious scruples about being sworn or af-
firmed to his testimony. He said he
was in the Tivo'i. and knew both Dunn
and Elliot. He had a conversation with
Dunn about February 1st iu regard to
Elliot, when Dunn said Elliot was a
coward and fe ired Sullivan. Dunn
a Do called Eliot a cur and used like
terms. Iu subsequent conversations Dunn
s iid, -if ever I meet Elliott again I will
cook him." This day after Dunn had
kept out of Clayton's saloon from fear of
Elliott. Witness told Dunn that Elliott
was a powerful man, and dangerous to
flglir. "It is no matier,"said Dunn,"he is
afraid of Sullivan. Witness was in a
private room about twelve feet from
where Elliott was sitting on the night
of the tragedy. Witness heard pistol
shots, and when haopencd the door saw
Dunn retreating, and Elliott advancing
toward him, there was nothing in
Elliotts hands, when witness got into the
front room.
