John Wood, and Mr.. George Bishop were
discovered in their hunting Camp, about
Is miles up the *Carrying river. On en-

the most shocking manner, apparently
done by the Indians From the position in
: which they were found, they were pro-
badly tomahawknd while asleep, and
no resistance made. Strong suspicion rest
on the Ottowa or Potowatoma tribe, who
had been lurking about their camp for
some time. Since the murder they have
