"BUrTE CREEK SQUAw MEN Under this
heading the Red Bluff Beacon publishes the
following communication
While myself and three other men were in
charge of ten Indian prisoners on Butte
Creek, that had been captured by General
Kibbe's command, one Cain, miner, came
to them and claimed a squaw-one of the
prisoners-and undertook TO take her away,
when he was prevented from doing so bv my
men and myself Said Cain then went down
the creek, and in about two hours returned
with mob of forty-five men, and Deputy
Sheriff Cheeseman, and took H. S. Sadorous
G. NJ. Stratton and NJ. Amesby and myself
prisoners, and released all the Indians. Said
Cain took the squaw he claimed, on the 9th
of August, to Dogtown, and was there mar
ried to her while her Buck" wus still alive
although shot. am of the opinion that the
only motive the mob had was to secure the
squaws and keep them on the creek.

TREED BY A GRIzzLY.-We learn that Mr..
Daniel Rich was "treed" by grizzly bear,
near the Big Lakes, one day last week. He
was crossing over from the North to the
South Yuba, when he came across an enor-
nous grizzly, the largest he ever saw. He
first saw the animal about fifty feet off, max
ing towards him, and having no weapon Of
any kind, he started for large tree, which
was near by, and succeeded in climbing it,
The grizzly remained at the roots of the tree
paving and growing, for about an hour
when he left, and Mr. Rich came down and
went on his way.-Nevdda Democrat

From New MExrco.-A dispatch from st.
Louis, August 18th, says:
The Sansa Fe mail arrived at Independ-
ence on the 18th August, with dates to July
goth The Congressional canvass was ami
mated; both parties confident of success.
The Territorial Court was in session with a
full bench. Mr.. Phelps, accompanied bv
Col, Bonneville, had left on his return, by
the Antelope Hills for California was
exploring new route with view to the
establishment of forts. Many disappointed
Pixies Peak miners were at Santa Fe, and
another descent upon Mexico is talked of.
The Indians had attacked small parties OF
Pixies Peakers.
Ned MCGOWAN and Phil Herbert had ar.
rived at Santa Fe from California. They
came by the Overland Mail to El Paso and
then turned north. Their ostensible purpose
was to locate at Santa Fe but that the people
there think they have some ulterior obi iect in
view.

showed that deceased had met his death from

GRAIN IN OnEeoN.-we clip the following

GRAIN IN OREGoN.-We clip the following
from the Red Bluff Beacon
Many people think we have injured the
farmers prospects in this section 10y saying
that crops were very light in upper Califor-
MIA and Southern Oregon, thereby causing
many of them to hold on to their grain for
better prices, and finally they will have to
sell at present rates or lower still. The
wholesale price of wheat in Jacksonville,
Oregon, is 8 cents to 81 barley from p to
8. Now does it look propable that section
will be able to supply the Trinity County
trade, as heretofore p? We think not.

men, what has up to this time been the work
of twenty.
