rived at Salt Lake on the l4th Aug, was
attacked by the Indians at the Resting
Springs, and one of the two mail bags lost
Mr.. William Hyde writes from Parowau
Aug. 9th: I'VE left San Bernardino on
the 27th July, and on the lst inst. reached
the Resting Springs about 10 O'Clock
Halted for short time, and upon our start,
| ing from twelve to fifteen Indians made
their appearance a short distance of, indi.
eating by whOops and gestures their hostile
intentions. As we passed along they be-
gan to approach, and our mules became
frightened and plunged badly A pack got
loose, and while fixing it the Indians in
creased ih>numbers, closed upon us, and
commenced shooting arrows. We showed
fight and D@o or three felt the effects The
mules were thrown into disorder; the mail
pack waS\ torn loose, and one of the sacks
dropped in the road. Mr.. Conger, who
lad charge Of the mail, dismouuted, picked
it up and passed it to me. As be was re-
mounting his mule received an arrow in the
knee, which rendered her unmanageable,
and at the same time each Of us received an
arrow through our clothes. The other sack
falling of Mr.. Hope dismounted and at
tempted to place it upon his mule and re-
mount, but his mule broke away, threw
him and the sack, and left him afoot. l
dismounted to act as guard and protect
him, when an arrow passed my cheek and
entered the cheek Of my mule. Mr.. James
Powell received an arrow in his left hip,
causing serious wound. The pack mules
were scattered, Mr.. Conger's was unman-
ageable by a wound in the knee, and Mr..
Hopes had broke and left. One mail sack
was left in the struggle some distance be-
hind, and the Indians gathered II and a
mule belonging to Mr.. Powell. At this
time the Indians had increased to some for
ty or fifty and were ranging ahead to oc-
cupy canon through which we had to
pass, designing to stop our progress. See
ing this movement our only chance of safe
ty was to press forward and get ahead Of
them. This we accomplished with the loss
above mentioned"

A SHOCKING MURDER supposed to have
been perpelrated by Indians occurred on
the 9th Of Aug. The Deseret Ns1os says :
Two sons Of Bishop Allen Weeks
named William and Warren, started from
the Fort in Cedar Valley, about 80 miles
southwest of this city, to get load of
wood. As the boys were gone longer than
was deemed necessary, some men started out
to learn the cause of their delay. Follow
ing the wagon track, they came to where
it had been turned of the road, and in @
short distance further of found the dead
bodies of the cruelty murdered boys. They
we're shot twice through the chest, had
their scalps torn of, and we're otherwise
horribly mutlated."
