Sioux and Mexican frontier tensions and settler unrest
Telegraph reports at St Patt on November 23 describe Sheriff Bullock and Lt Edgerly moving a Detachment of ten men to Keets mine after miners refused surrender. The Gulch, including Mattamoras citizens, faces arrests for conspiracies related to Escobeds armed camp on the Texas side. The piece also covers Indian relations with Jose and his people, the Sichuan of spirits guiding humane treatment, and a note on local women’s charitable work at Oberlin Society.
