The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory November 19th, 1870 Local Intelligence - Nice Fight. A Party of Pimas Kill 13 Apache—Mohaves . It affords us intense pleasure to be able to state that the party of Pima Indians that left Prescott, a short time ago, succeeded in killing thirteen Apache—Mohaves, and wounding several others . But, we regret to have to state that our Pima friends lost two of their number, and had five others wounded. The particulars of this, to us, pleasant affair, are about as follows: Early Monday morning last, as the Pimas were traveling through Bell 's Canyon, on their way to Camp Date Creek, they discovered fresh Apache tracks going northward, followed them, and soon into which they sailed, with the after struck a rancher ia , foregoing result. It is said they peeled the scalps from the heads of the dead devils, and took them with them. Thanks, brave the treacherous , Pimas , for this victory over our common foe , — bloodthirsty Apache. This makes nearly thirty Apaches the Pimas have killed inside the past two months .
