INDIAN ATROCITIES,
—
THE TERROR WHICH PREVAILS
THROUGHOUT ARIZONA.
Hall ihe .Harders by Indians NUt Reported
to llie Outside World—The People Organ¬
izing Their Own Ranger Forces.
W. K. Jones, one of the best known ranch¬
men of Arizona, arrived in El Paso, Texas'
8unday from the vicinity of the recent Indian
massacre. Jones says the situation in western
New Mexico and eastern Arizona is really much
worse than has been reported by the news¬
papers. lie declares that no one person car
gather an adequate id-a of the terrorize! con¬
dition of the inhabitants, and the actual num¬
ber of people kiiled by the Apaches within the
past two months. Dozens (if families have
been massacred in distant parts of the terri¬
tory, and the news of their death never spread
beyond the immediate vicinity, owing to the
long distance and separation from the outside
world. Jones mentions three murders in New
Mexico which, to his knowledge, have never
been published, and says just prior to his de¬
parture from New Mexico he helped to bury a
neighbor who was found murdered by Indians.
The fearful loss by lire and plunder at th(
hands of the marauding Apaches has also been
underestimated, as many ranches have been
literal iy cleaned up of stock and the houses
burned. The ranchmen of Graham county,
Arizona, have equipped a ranger force at their
settlers own expense dep. and placed th m in the field. The
are riding entirely on these rang¬
ers. Jones asserts that the regular army is no
longer relied upon by the people to suppress
these frequent outbreaks, and says that Gov¬
ernor Zu.ick, of Arizona, is in favor of imme¬
diately organizing been a territorial ranger force,
and has petitioned to call the legislature
together for this purpose.
TROOPS ORDERED TO ARIZONA.
Pursuant to instructions from the secretary
of war, orders were issued to troops A and K,
second cavalry to proceed to Arizona. They are
being dispatched to protect the Indians on the
San Carlos reservation from a threatened attack
by the whites. Major Gordon will command
the cavalry. The date of their departure will
not be fixed until dispatches shall have been
received from General Crook, indicating the
point iu Arizona in which the troops shall take
ap their position.

A Cra^e for Short Hair In the West
“Queer craze this,” mused a south side
hairdresser as he bowed and scraped a
stylishly-dressed woman out of the big
front door of his establishment. “Time,
was when woman gloried in her tresses,
but she doesn't glory any more. Strange,
too, that this mania should become so
virulent just as winter is about to set in,
and at a time when most women used to
want all the hair they could pile on with¬
out disgusting the men folks about the
house. But ft is the style, and I don’t
see why us dressers should grumlle, for
every customer means seventy five cents
in our pocket. Now let me think a mo¬
ment. Yes. it was Ellen Terry who
started the craze. Rose Cleveland, the
President’s sister, was probably this the first
to catch the fever, and from lady
the contagion has spread until now nearly
every city and tow n iq the country has a
large number of well-developed the spared. cases.

HE AND SHE.
FART I.
Oh, If I dared to ask to-night
A kiss—would sba refuse in fright?
Her eyes a saucy inside show,|
With mischief coy they sparkle so,
Can she my longing read aright!
In fleecy folds of snowy white,
Her jealous hood, for very spite,
Half hides her rosy cheeks aglow,
Oh, if I dared!
I gaze entranced with shy delight,
And then at last—a craven knight
Who quails for fear of woman's no:
Unsatisfied I turn to go,
With formal parting cool and trite;
Oh, if I dared!
PART II,
That stupid thing! an hour has rolled
Away since he, despite the cold,
Has lingered, paying o’er and o'er
The compliments I’ve heard before;
A saint would feel inclined to scold!
I spy a wish he deems untold,
What fun, my mirth is scarce controlled!
He’s poorly versed in Cupid’s lore,
The stupid thing!
Of course I sternly should withhold,
The boon, but yet, we’re friends of old.
If he with ardor should implore,
“Good-night.” he's gone! I close the door.
W T hy can’t he be a trifle bold?
The stupid thing!
