INDIAN THEIvING.

In our last issue we gave 4 short notice OF
A "Melancholly Occurrence" which took place
the previous day near Globe Ranch, about
seven miles below this place. Our state
ment was quite superficial, and incorrect,
particularly with regaTd to the name Of the
white man killed. The name of the deceased
was Carpenter, instead OF James Tooley, as
given at first. Carpenter, was mining
partner with Tooley, was from Arkansas
and about twenty-five years of age. The
real facts of the affair were, substantially
as follows -

before at the Globe Ranch. in the morning

wagons. On missing them, it was remark

house about mile so th, and party was
Immediately organized to go in search Of the
robbers. but without success, until gentle

accidentally came across lot OF goods con-

being obtained, the goods were carefully
composed in the same manner as when found
and the party retired short distance. to
make arrangements to set watch While
