fire arms, and resembling a party of
regulators or Texas cowboys, have
been camped on Willow creek, and
considerable curiosity .has been express

Some asserting that tbe party had or
ganized to go up in the Indian country
on a prospecting trip, while others be
lieved them to be a gang of Arizona
rustlers. During several days past
several of the party have ridden
through the town in a defiant manner,
and then mysteriously disappeared.
From a man who came in to-day it is

several pledges of secrecy, were organ

They left last night, going on the stage
road, and he escaped during the night.
