county; complain that they kill all their game,
and declare that no more shall be permitted to
inttude; unless they pay them for the privilege;
they have made the same complaints to the
mountain traders,a and strongly urge their claims
for payment, and desired to hold council with
Col. kealney on the subject.

us with the details Of several murders and rob

of Indian Dragons, but there the trail was
! lost
