Indemnity Saga From Indian Raid and Indian Troop Chase
San Antonio reports an indemnity claim of 125000 filed by the widow and children of Amos Barnes for cattle lost in a spring 1861 raid near Fort Thorn New Mexico. The claim alleges Barnes contracted to furnish 9800 head at 50 each but was raided by about 40 Apache and Navajo. The Indians escaped with the herd after a pursuit by troops and cowboys. In Creventany there is talk of extending the new wire trust to billet mills to bind billet makers to supply billets and avoid new entrants into wire manufacture. J F Onion reports a letter from W J Bryan saying he will end his Mexican tour in about 10 days and stop in San Antonio on the way home, noting much public attention but no impressions of the country.
