Mr. Jones, a well-known ranchman
from near Dilncan, Arizona, favored the
Times with a c*11 yesterday, and furnish-
ed us with a very exact account of the en-
counter between the Windom broihers
and the redskins, i:i the vicinity of Dun-
can on the 25th instant. The Windoms
were out riding, keeping a sharp look-
out for the Indians, which were known
to be about, when in coming out of a
canon they descried a burro loaded with
different tilings, and they had just come
to the conclusion that it must belong to
the Indians, when a red devil showed up
uncomfortably close, aud the youngest of
the Windoms immediately opened fire on
him. Scarcely had the report of the shot
died out when a volley was fired upon
the Windoms, aud eighteen oi twenty
Indians were disclosed to view. Young
Windom was wounded in different
places, one ball having penetrated at the
small of the back and coursed clear
through the body. The older brother
was wounded in the calf of the right leg,
and luckily escaped further or more seri-
ous injury. They returned the lire, and
advanced a short distance, when youug
Windom, unable to keep hit seat from
pain and weakness, fell to the ground.
His brother dismounted and contrived
to assist him to gain the shelter of a
ledge from which they could face their
enemies to less desperate purposes. As
misfortune woild have it, the elder
brother omitted to take his cartridge
belt from the saddle and was obliged
witli great exposure to himself to return
where be had left his horse and secure it.
This he accomplished successfully and
returning to where he had left his broth-
er, they continued the Are and would
doubtless have succumbed in the end,
had not the Indians descried a number of
soldiers at some distance of!', and fear-
ing that the fire would attract them to
the place, desisted from the attack. No
aoouer had they left than the elder
Windom, unable to msve hl» brother
whose injuries were fast telling on him,
mounted his horse and went for assist-
ance. This he soon found, Mr. Jones
among the number, and with the help of
willing hands the wounded and now dv-
ing mail was transferred to a place
of shelter. A few hours
later he breathed his last.
The Windoms are from Colorado City,
and were engaged in stock raising near
Duncan. Taey were both highly es-
teemed by their neighbors, and were re-
garded ai very brave men.
The Indians who attacked them had
made a raid on John Curran's ranch pre-
vious to the encounter and had stolen
some twenty-fiye head of horses, and
downed the outrage by cruelly killing a
man named McDonald, whom they met
on coming out of the canon.
The Taqule in Honor*.
General Lorenzo Garcia, of the Mexi-
can army, passed through our city yes-
terday on his way to Guaymas where he
has been ordered by the government to
report to General Angel Martinez, who
has been appointed commander-in-chief
of the first military zone, in place of
General Jose G. Carbo, recently relieved
of the command. The Times reporter
called on General Garcia at the Windsor
hotel and learned many facts of interest
regarding the impending campaign
against the Yaqui Indians in Sonora, iu
which General Garcia is to engage with
his forces.
It appears that the uprising of the
Yaquis, under the leadership of the fa-
mous and much drcade.l chief, Csjeme,
is due to a supposed sense of injury on
their part because thay are not allowed
an exclusive occupation of the richest
and fairest portion of the state of Sonora,
a tract of land bordering on the Maya
river, of some fifty leagues square
Altogether the tribe of Yaquis anil Mayas
combined, over which Cajerae rules un-
disputed, number some twenty-five thou-
sand, o it of which it is presumed
force of six thousand available
warriors could be mustered with
The Mexican government
government limply for this purpose.
It i« feared, however, that the Yaquis
being unduly influenced by Cajerae, who
has persistently represented to the tribe
that the government Intends despoiling
them of their soil, will listen to no pro-
position but an unconditional privilege
to occupy exclusively the territory now
controlled by them. The campaign,
General Garcia says, will be an arduous
one, for the Yaquis possess an immense
advantage in their superior knowledge
of the country, and it will be a difficult,
if not impossible matter to forcc a deci-
sive encounter upon them.
General Garcia lias had much exper-
ience in Indian warfare, having been en-
gaged in it for years with much credit
and success. He proved a terror to the
Apaches in whose pursuit
he was repeatedly sent by
the Mexican government, and gained
considerable reputation as a skillful,
prudent and fearless soldier.
General Angel Martinez, under whom
he is to serve, is also well-known to the
government as an excellent military
commander, and bis succeeding General
Carbo was bailed with general satisfac-
tion in Sonora.
General Garcia has kindly promt ed to
furnish the Times with all the news of
the campaign from the seat of operations.

Death of Oeorge Dieter.
On the 28th instant Mr. J. P. snd A
C. Diecer, in response to a telegram from
Wichita, Kansas, left for that place. The
telegram anounced the death of • their
brother, George Dieter. The sad oc-
currence will bring up in the minds of
the people of El Paso the many recollec-
tions of the wholesouie I, genurous, open-
handed and impulsive friend, who h
often put himself "in a hole" to relieve
the pressing necessities of his friends.
George Dieter never in his whole life
turned a deaf car to the cry of distress
or the claims of friendship. Whatever
his faults may have been (and who of us
have none!1) these were not found in
his vocabulary, anil when the recording
angel comes to balance his accounts we
feel assured (for we knew him well) that
the deeds of generosity and dimity
which will go to his credit will more than
offset what is on the other side of the
balance sheet. His brothers aud friends
have our sincere sympathies iu their
affliction. May the sod-rest lightly
above him and may the perennial flow-
ers of spring bloom as brightly as the
memory of his friendship in the minds of
his friends.

The Ttui Pacific.
The appointment of Lionel O. A. Shel-
don, late governor of New Mexico, as
oue of the receivers of the Texas Pacific,
was an act of kindly remembrance of old
war associations on the part of the ap
poiutiug powers, as well as the sele'tion
of a lit and capable man. Judge Pardee,
of the United States circuit court of New
Orleaus, who appointed ex-Governor
Brown and ex-Governor Sheldon, was
an Ohio man at the beginning of the war.
He lived near Cleveland. Sheldon lived
in the same vicinity, as also did the late
President, James A. Garfield. When
the 43d Ohio Regiment was raised, Gar-'
field was appointed Colonel, Sheldon
Lieutenant-Colonel and Pardee,
Major. They remained together until
the promotion of Garfield which, in turn
gave promotion to Sheldon and Pardee.
One of the earliest appointments made
by President Garfield, after his inaugur-
tion, was that of his old Major, Don A.
Pardee, to be ciicuit judge at Nuw Or-
leans, May IS, 1831.
Ex-Governor Brown, of the Gould
lines—the other receiver—was appoint-
ed at the request of the bond-
holders of the road. The
two gentlemen propose to take charge
immediately. The road is nearly 1,5(J0
miles long. It is bonded for $43,01)0,000.
Parties representing 335,000,000 of thi-
amount are desirous tiiat the court shall
allow the receivers to issue certificates
for $4,000,000, which shall be a first lieu
upon the property, the whole amount to
be used in repairing and equipping the
road. It is thought that this will be
sufficient to put the road in good sh ipe,
and it is believed that Judge Pardee will
see it in that light, and give the project
the sanction of his court.
We were \ lad to greet our friend S. L.
Kahn on his return from New Orleans
yesterday, aud pleased to learn that liis
health had been greatly benefited by the
trip, and that the private affairs which
called him away have been satisfactorily
regulated. Mr, Kahn informs us that
during his stay in New Orleans he re-
ceived a letter from a frienu in El Paso
in which he was told that a report was
being circulated about town that he had
left with no intention to return. Consid-
ering the responsibility and trust of Mr.
Kahn's official position itjean be readily
seen that the insinuation which such a
rumor was calculated to convey, was cer-
tainly not fluttering to his honor aud in-
tegrity. Not having heard, either priv-
ately or in our capacity as newsmongers,
of a single syllable breathed against Mr.
Kahn during his absence we hastened to
assure him that his informer must have
hatched the sensational fiction out of his
own idle brain. Mr. Kahn reports the
exposition at New Orleaus a complete
failure, and says that complaints of dull
times were prevalent in San Antonio and
Houston. El Paso, Mr. Kahn says, is
getting to be very much spoken of as a
city of great promise.
Mr. Jo. Brooks, of the Western Union
Telegraph office, has quite a talent for
painting, aud has lately executed several
landscapes that would do credit to any
amateur. He is entirely self-taught
never having had any professional in
struction.

The people of El Paso and our city
council are to be congratulated on their
wise selection of councilmen for the com-
mittee on streets, grades and alleys.
They are plain, practical men, fitted in
every way for the duties of that commit-
tee, and wa notice from all movements of
the council, that they are fairly imbued
with the true spirit of improvement and
progress which our people demand, and
will support, and we hope they will find
the needful support of their colleagues of
the council. luthis connection we notice
the opening of East Overland street op-
posite the court house, a much needed
improvement, which we hope will not
stop short of making that street the finest
drive in the city, which it naturally is on
account of its freedom from sand. Let
it be opened in good shape, and let the
good work go on.
That was a tremendous mare's nest one
of our contemporaries found on the
Southern Pacific road evening before last.
