IEDiAN SHor BY an EHiGRASr Mi,
Hammond. from Ogden City, Informs us
that an Indian wasshot on Thursday night
last, by an emigrant at the Hot Springs
north Of the city. After he wasshot, hc
travelled several miles to the honSe Of Mr.
Hatch, who lives In Bo1utifTl, splitting
blood by tie way. Tie wound Is sup
posed TO be mortal. The alleged iqstiii-
cation for shooting him Is said 10 be, that
be Was crawling mp 10 the camp, as the
EenigraIR supposed, to steal d horse. This
Etiamnable custom Of shooting Indians and
rayishing squaws seems to have been com
tmeneed in the very heart Of our settle-E
ments by those eastern barbarilis, who
have been so fortunate rs to reach this
ETcrritery theirroad To h. This cool, /
bloody. and dia6otical system, has excited
md will continue to excite spirit Of In /
discriminate retaliation and revenge on
the innocent as well as the guilty, so iong
MS the cause exists that produced the pre-
sent war In Carson We do not wish 10
be understood as condemning the protec-
lion Of property even at the sacrifice Of
ldei but We do condemn the indiscsiniiRate
slaughter Of Indians by tho nnlIeronsi

tribe who retaliates on the brutal murder

on our lives or on our property, has yet
TO BE made by an Indian, except when we:
were at war in Pa. And that an In.
