A few miles above the Platte Bridge they met Mr..
Gibbons train from Buchanan County, No, who told
them that while travelling along the road, al Deer
Creek thirty miles below the BRIDGE the Indians came
up and asked one of he hands at the head OF the rain
where the captain was. He pointed out Mr.. Robert
Gibson; they rode up to him, and while one OF them
shook him by the hand the other shot him dead. They
then rode OIL toward The river.
The next day, a few miles below the bridge, they
were hailed by some emigrants on the opposite side
the north who stated that the day previous, while
opposite Deer Creek they were attacked by eighteen
Indians Mile in camp; one woman was lanced twice,
and a man also anced and they drove of sixteen head
OF horses. The emigrants pursued them short dis
