Two male Indians were also foul on
Sunday May 9th. The same day there
was but one murder,-an Indian women

FROM ILLINOIS VALLEY.
The Indians in this portion Of the
country are very troublesome, and make
no hesitation in numbering whites aud
plunder,ng the miners camps Of all their
goods and vaIuables. The Klamath In.
