The Arizona Miner
Prescott r Ari zona Territory

LOCAL NEWS.
The red—skins paid a
HORSES STOLEN -
visit to Kirkland Valley last week, and
gobbled up four horses belonging to Wm.
Gilkison; two, of Moses Langley's and one
belonging to another man. They were pur—
sued by a detachment of mounted Infantry ,
from Camp McPherson , and overtaken some—
where near Bell ' s Canon- It seems that
the rascals after stealing the horses ,
went south a considerable distance, and
then turned back towards the valley. In
traveling along on the trail , and when
near some big rocks , the troops were
fired into by the Indians ,
when two
animals were killed. The Indians then, we
believe, ran off and were pursued by the
troops , who, once more , came upon them
while they were roasting one of the
stolen horses. The Indians, on seeing the
troops, got up and traveled towards this
and were tracked to Miller ' s
town ,
Valley , about one mile from Prescott .
The troops started Tuesday morning on a
ten day' s scout after the Indians
