vicinity made a litter, on which they brought

INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.-We are informed by
Mr.. Maynard, of Hay Fork, that the citizens who
went from that valley to Ketinshou to punish the
Indians and look after stock which had been
driven off by them, have returned. Out OF some
four hundred head of cattle and hogs only about
fifty were found They report that Mr.. Fulwider
was killed by Indians, without doubt. 1t is sup
posed that he went from his cabin to Mad River,
near by, for drink, and was shot by Indians,
and then thrown into the stream, as his bat was
found on the bank with bullet hole in the lower
part of the crown, very bloody, and near il
piece of bread partly eaten. Many of the citizens
of Hay Fork are heavy losers, some having lost
all their stock. A company intend leaving that
place in search of Indians, and should they find
the red rascals they will undoubtedly administer
severe but merited punishment.
ACCIDENT ON WEAVER GREEK Last Friday
Henry Hanscom, Shasta teamster, was on his
way to Douglas City with load of freight for
Goewey & Hough. While attempting to cross
Weaver Creek in one of the many bad places, his
wagon overturned and a portion of his load was
destroyed. The water was very deep and swift,
and his team was only saved by the greatest ex-
ertion. Worse than all, his coat containing
purse with about $50 in 1t, went with the rest.
Total loss about $3.50. If that purse is ever
picked up we hope it will be returned to the
owner.
A SAMPLE.-Mr. o. II. P. Mckinney, of Lewis
ton, the other day presented us with the proceeds
of pan of dirt washed in his new claim. 1t
was very handsome prospect'-hOw much we
shall not say. Hope Nc will find bushel of the
same kind.
THE ROADS, AND TRAvEL-With the exception
of the road from this place to Douglas City, all
the thorougfares in, and leading to this county
are in excellent travelling order.
The Weaverville and Shasta road has been
completely repaired, and heavy freight teams are
daily arriving.
The road from here to North Fork is in order
again-nOw and then bad place between Wea-
vervlle and Oregon Gulch Cy Blven has
commenced tri-weekly trips, which he will con-
tnue during the summer He leaves Weaver
vile on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and
North Fork on intervening days.
We are told that the new road from Lewiston
to Eastman's is going ahead rapidly, and will be
finished the present season.
The portion of the ClOverdale Road between
Weaverville and Hay Fork is travelabe. Frank
Young drove over to Bayliss' Mill in q light
buggy on Wednesday,
An effort was made at the present term of Leg
islature to have the Act approprating the State
portion of the poll tax of MendocinO, Humboldt,
Trinity and Siskiyou counties to the building of
a road from ClOverdale to Yreka renewed, but
the bill was defeated by one vote. If the people
of this county study their interests they will i'm
mediately aid to completion that portion of the
road between Weavervlle and Trinity Center.
What the Directors of the Humboldt and Trim |
iiy Road propose to do this year We know not. |
New officers were lately elected, and another in
stallment on the stock called for. We trust the |
work will go on.
