San Francisco. Aug. 25. A dispatch from Tucson, A. T., says that Sheriff Butner, with a posse, left here last night to intercept and arrest
the Mexican brigand Reyes, who, with his band, were reported to be in this vicinity. Butner met them about eight
miles from town and a fight ensued in which about fifty shots were fired. The Mexicans fled, leaving several dead and wounded, as well as their animals and weapons, on the field. The sheriff followed, but soon lost their trail in the darkness. The bandits are supposed to number fifty. A company of United States troops are now in pursuit of them.
