Chicago, July 14.- A correspondent o the Otean, writing from Cimarrón New Mexico, under date of the 8th inst. says : The wave of the Iridian war in the southwest ha8 reached our unusually quiet town. Last Sunday hostile Indians, supposed to be Cheyennes, made a dash on Maloohe's ranch, on Vennejo Eiver, 12 milos from Cimarrón, killed the herder, and drove off about 22 head of horses. They made nn attack on the same day on two ranchéis on Crow Creek and Canadian Eiver, and killed two other herders. They moved off in the direction of Dry Cimarrón Eiver, and, we have just now learned from messengers on Barlow fc Sanderson's mail coach, made an attack on the ranchos and herding ground along the stream. They seem to have had everythiug their own way, killing the people and driving off the live stock at their pleasure. Sixteen are reported to have been killed on Dry Cimarrón Eiver, making our loss in the county 19. One Indian is known to have been wounded on the Vennejo, and they have probably sustained no additional loss. They are reported to be still on the Dry Cimarrón, and if thia report be true we fear that none of out people in that nounty bave ewcaped death unless thev had heara of the approach of the Indians in time to üe to the woods or mountains The tact th.-it no om has come in from the gettlementa -long the Dry Cimarrón River since last 8aturdy is ominoua Our county, fV.i'i.x, is iu th northeaat corner of New Mexico; Cimarrón, the fiouuty sent, 8 wesi of the central part of the county.
