NORTHERN CALIFORNIA The Crescent City Her-
old of the 9th says: Mr.. H. B. Dickinson came in
late last night from the mouth of the Klamath
He states that on Saturday morning I'D inst.) he
had left Capell Rancheria about 25 miles from the
mouth) and had come down the river, fishing and
conversng with the Indians. While at the mouth
trustworthy Indians brought to him the startling
news that on saturday night the Indians fell upon
the sleeping whites, killed all of them (six men)
with the exception of Mr.. Shelton, and took away
their guns and provisions.
1t is supposed that the attack was made by the
Indians recently brought to the Reservation.
Alex. Hamilton, young man, but an old resi-
dent of this county, is amongst the victims.
The Indian Agent, Mr.. Whipple, was on the
point of leaving for the Reservation when the news
arrived He thinks it strange that the Indians
should have surprised the whites sleeping, they
had been in the habit of keeping guard every
night.
A detachment of United States soldiers is sta
toned at Witchepeck Cat the mouth of the Trinity
river) about twenty-five miles above the Reserva-
ton.
AS we finish writing the above, we learn from
packers Just arrived that Saturday last the lndi-
ans killed four white men (travelers, as far as we
could ascertain,) and two Chinese, in Illinois Val
ley O. T.. (some fifty miles distant from here)
William Shelly is reported to have been severely
wounded
