THE MOUNTAINEER. W. C. ERVIN, Editor. SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1883. STATE NEWS. Charlotte is to have a 50,000 union depot, upon which work will soon be commenced. At ji recent meeting of the stock holders of the .Asheville and Spartan burg railroad, it was decided to push the road;through to Asheville at once. R. Y. McAden was reelected presi dent A railroad from Asheville to Burns ville and thence to a connecton with the Tennessee system is in contempla tion and is engaging the attention of capitalists who have mining property along the proposed route. The Asheville Citizen says: Quite a crowd was gathered m the Court House Square on Sundav afternoon round the carcass of a beneb-Je?ed cur, which a negro man had knocked in the head with a stone and killed as he ran through the streets, snapping ngui buu iciij nuu uiuug v naicici dog came in his way. He appeared to have bitten at least five dogs before Lis career was checked. The Murphy Independent says the Ducktown copper mines, closed for a number of years, will soon be reDpe ned, and that one thousand hand are to be put to work on the railroad be tween Ducktown and Cleveland, Tenn ine jfieamont jfrets says one Cook, a bar beeper from Lincolnton, while traveling on foot to see his family in the South mountains in Ca tawba county, was attacked by white man and a negro, knocked down and robbed of $52 in currency. The robbers went off, leaving Cook insensible on the ground. The Highlands Enterprise notes the existence of small pox in Hay wood county, in the family of George Yonce of Nautahala, and of Jt mes Raby of Burnington. Jr. Lyle, Su perintendent of Health has declared said houses infected and put them under strict quarantine. A mad dog we regret to larn, attacked Mr. Har rison West at West's mills, in Macon county, and bit bim severely on the calf of the leg, and Mr. Joshua Franks of Co wee. The dog was pursued and killed on the lands of Mr. James Bry sen. One day last week, says the Xenolr Topic, in Ashe, thiee men, Osborne, Martin and Church, got drunk and went to the house of Calvin Miller and gave him a beating. From there they went to John O. Pottei's'and beat him. They then started in the direction of Forge Creek, Tenn., stopping on the way at the house of a sick man. They tried to make the man, who was wait- i ing en bin?, take a drink and upon his refusal they made an onslaught upon him. . He defended himself so Apaches are scattered over hundreds of miles of territory. Their number probaly docs not exceed 400 all told. Ne one knows their exact strength and the mountainous conntry is very bad to penetrate with troops. The attack en Hermosilto was made by a maraud ing band, which tortured and mur dered men, subjecting their bodies to indiscribable indignities. The women fared worse. Juh's renegades, Gen. Crook tells me, are most devilish to their captives. But the Mexicans have always been the worst sufferers The Indians have rarely gone as far north as the Arizona border. SCENE OF THE ATTACK. Harmosillo is an old, old city, left from the days of the Spaniards, three centuries ego. Over it hang clear, un changing copper-colored skies ; around it stretches a vast plain glittering in the tropic sun-glare. On the north and northwest horizon are mountain masses which look like piles of summer thunder clouds. Among the measas, or table Iads, which at a distance seem to blend with the plains, though in reality rising far above them, flows a living stream, a rarity in the South ern country. Along its banks grow groups of palms and cactus, the guava and Indian fig. In this little spot ef vegetation was the Palmos ranchet where the massacre began last Tuesday. No soldiers within hundreds of miles, and more women than men for vie tim. One or two who escaped and found General Carbo at Cnihauhau say that all the rest were murdered Men were suspended by the wrists over glowing fires and women, stripped of their clothing, were tied to stakes and made witnesses to the tor tures of husbands and fathers. The Apache Chief, Juh, did not take part in the barbarities, but seemed to have witnessed the atrocites or at least per mitted them to go on. AN INTERVIEW WITH GEN. CROOK. Gen. George Crook, commanding the Department of Arizona, arrived hereto-day. Your correspondent spent an hour with him and secured the following explanation of the present situation m Arizona and western part of Mexico About a yearagosome 200 renegade Apache bucks, with their families, es capeu mio ine sierra jviadre in Northern Mexico. From this hiding place they have made frequent excur sions into the surrounding conntry murdering and pillaging. Some time since, General Carbo, of Chlhauhau, moved on the region infested by these renegades with 2,000 Mexican sol diers. The Indians, nndar Juh and Doce, to divert attention, recently raided Anzoaa with twenty-eight braves, striking the neighborhood of Tombstone, and then reappearing in several places, evidently for the pur pose of drawing recruits from the San n i . i . varios reservation, Dut without suc cess. Judere McComas unci nthr-a as the plans can be matured, both forces acting conjointly as far as pos sible. Gen. Crook authorizes me to deny the sensational stories sent East that he ordered that no quarter should be shown to the Indians, and no pris oners taken. He deprecates the Mex ican policy of killing women and children, as it increases danger to set tlers. He will return as soon as pos sible and active operations will be commenced at once. The situation here and in Arizona is serious but greatly exaggerated, and many uu truthful repoi ts are sent East.

"But what about. your pa's dancing a a clog-dance in church, Sunday The minister's hired girl was in here after some codfish yesterday morning, and she said the minister said your pa had scandalized the church the worst way." "Oh, he didn't dance in church He was a little excited; that's all. You see, pa chews tobacco, and its pretty hard on him to sit all through the sermon without taking a chew, and he gets nervous. He always reaches around in his pistol pocket when they stand up to sing the last time, and feels in his tobacco-box and gets out a chew, and pats it in his mouth when the preacher pronounces the benedic diction. He always does that. Well, my chum had a present on Christmas of a music box, just about as big as pa's tooacco- box and all you have to do is touch a spring and it plays. "She's a Taisy. She's a Dumpling." I borrowed it and put it in pa's pistol pocket, where he keeps his tobacco box, and when the choir got most through singing pa reached his hand in his pocket and began to fumble around for a chew, He touched the spring, and just as everybody bowed their heads to receive the benediction, and it was so still you could hear a gum drop, the music-box began to play, and the stillness it sounded as loud as a church organ. Well, I thought ma would sink. The minis ter heard it, and looked jtp wards pa. and everybody looked and pa turned red, and the music-box kept up 'She's a Daisy,' and the minister looked mad and said 'Amen.' and the people began to put on their coats, and the minister told the deacon t hunt up the source of that worldly music, and they took pa into the room back of the pulpit and searched him, and ma says . pa will have to be churched. They kept the music-box, and I have got to car ry in coal to get money enough to buy my chum a new one. tered on book 1 mere 216 and 217. in 1 3. 7 the Registers office of Burks county, there will on Monday the 7th, of May, 1883, be offered 8t public sale, to the highest bidder at the Court House in Morganton, one valuable lot, at Gleu Alpine station, JsurUe. county, adjoin ing lot of Henry Bnnkly begining at a stake on the south side of the Ashe ville road, and . runs with the south side of said road. 60 feet, in the di rection of Henrj Brinkleys dwelling house, to a stake on the corner of T ieo Walton's lot, thence a south course 100 feet to a stake, thence a west course 60 feet to a stake, thence a north course 100 feet to the begin ing 12 feet east of said Brinklys house.

Th Topic says: Mr. D. C. Dug ger, of Brushy Fork, Watauga, was in to see us last week and gave us an account of a very narrow escape from death of a family living in hii neigh borhood. They lived in a small cabin on a hillside and above the house a few feet stood a tremendous poplar, five feet through at the base, and forty feet to the first bronches. One windy night in February this tree was blown down, some of the large branches scraping over the roof, which waa built with no rafters, and demol ishing- it, precipitating much of it upon the floor beneath. Six people were sleeping in the house and not one of. them was hurt, although the floor was-covered with heavy timbers, and one large log fell on one of the bedsbetween the two occupants. THE INUIAN WAR. El Paso, Texas, April 15. The Indian outbrtak of 1883 is likely to be jnor fatal to life, more disastrous to property' and more memorable in Mex itan history than any since the Apache raiasori548. The sickening "details of the savages' work at Palmos ranch have just been received. The number of whites killed at Hermosillo is seventy-eight, so far as known, but a larger number are believed to have been massacred. Gen. Crook and the Mexican general, Teneres, have been in consultation for'several days in the vicinity- o'f Nogales, Mexico. The country is rugged and the" war-like Indians then returned into the moun tain fastnesses of Mexico, losing. one killed and one captured. All the dep redations came from these Indians, but the frontiersmen made a pretext for charging the peaceable . Indians on the San Carlos reservation -w ith being guilty of the outrages. COWBOYS REINFORCING APACHES Miners and cowboys, stimulated by interested parties who want an Indian war to get possession of rich pasturage and mining lands on the San Carlos reservation, threatened to attack it and kill the peaceable red men. Gen eral Crook has just telegraphed for the Indians on the reservation to pro tect themselves frera such an attack, and he does not believe that there will be any uprising in Arizona of Indians, even if they are attacked by frontiers men. The euly pending danger, ' he believes, is repeated raids by rene- gaae Apaches in Mexico, against which Mexican troeps are operating. as long as tney are m a hostile atti tude there will be danger, and invest ment and travel here is being serious ly disturbed by the pending hostilitv General Crook does not conceal that the situation is serious and that scat tered prospectors and mining cairps are in danger until the hostile Indians are subdued, but he denies that the friendly Indians are on the war-path or are likely to go. Aneooiectot the conference be tween himself and Mexican authori se was to prevent more raids, even bv the renegades. Active ODerat.ion will be begun in a few days, as soon A Strange Fact. The nationa public debt statement just made pre sents the curious feature of abou $10,000,000 of uuelaimed debts, and upon which there is half a million due of unclaimed interest. Many of the bonds upon which -this interest is due ceased long since to bear interest, and yet both principal and interest remain unclaimed. Why this is so canno accurately be accounted for, but it is supposed that some of. the bonds were lost by fire, or otherwise, mulila ted, held in trust by persons unwil ling to risk a chance of investment or transferred to the hands ef per sons uninformed asto their value Over $50,030 worth matured prior to 1837, on which there is !$60,000 inte rest due. Then there is $80,000 on Treasury notes due two. years later which wera issned in 1816. Some peo ple, it seems, are not so hard up for money as might be supposed.
