NUN SrEALISa.-0 On the morning Of
the 9TH inst !, the herdsman &C the Bear riy.
er mail station went out, as usual, 10 look
after the animals which we're in his care.
lie did not return ut the usual time 10
his breakfast. When dinner time passed,
and there were no signs Of the herdsmail,s
return. tho men at the station became
somewhat anxious, not perhaps so much
about The safety Of the young man, MS the
security Of the nlIiles. The fact that the
yonng man was subject to fits, cansed
them to think that he might have been
seized when riding, fallen from bis horse,
and got some OF bis limbs broken, or been
Otherwise disabled. Part Of the mules
celle IN during the night. aud the next
morning two men went ont in search OF
the missing mules aud lost man. They
hunted all day, but without success. On
the 9th they went again, and to uSe their
own language, fseouEcd the whole com.
try and found nothing but signs Of d
party having recently canped some seven
miles down Bear River. BY examining
the trail made by the decamping rena-
gadcs, the hunting party concluded that
the thieves were a band Of Indians, that
has been proving round there for some
time. The herslsman, being a very trust
worthy young man, there are no groundsfo for
snspeeting him Of completely In the steal
ing affair: the gentlemen best acquainted
with him conclude that lie has been MUIR
dercl and thrown into the river. Up to
the evening Of the 10Th, when onr cor.
respondent wrote. no further tidings had
been received Of the stolen animals, nor
Of the missing man. 5.s.. i s4-s
