Private Corwin of the Guards, was killed in the fight, and three citizens; two men were severely wounded, and several others slightly, and several missing. Many houses were burned. Capt.

Florney's train, en route for Sonora, with which were two American families, and some emigrants, was attacked one day out of Palo Pinto Mines, by about 150 Indians.

Swilling, with a detachment of the Arizona Guards, who escorted them safely to the Membris river. A Mexican train from Mesilla is corralled by the Indians at White Water.
