GREAT SUFFERING AND TEuAc1rY o, L1rr-
Very extraordinary instances Of SUFFERING and
tenacity of life are related BY the Deseret News
of November 2Sth. A company Of em;orsrts
was attacked by band Of Indians near G On I.
Rocks, Nevada, September 1lth, and Of the flf
teen men, two were killed and six wounded
Messrs. Goodman and Sharp, both severelv
wounded, were rescued after nine days suffering.
They tasted no food for the nine days and nights
except rose.buds; had lain hidden in the willows
on the bank of the stream each day and dragged
themselves along at night, and in this way had
moved twenty miles from the scene of attack,
when found. Another of the party, named CO.
mer, WAS found alive ten days after the attack
He was suffering from nine bullet wounds, and
had lived entirely on rose-buds. During thit
time the weather was so cold as to freeze iet
half an inch thick, and cover the ground viii
white frosts. All three of the sufferers are likel,
! to recover.

then the man who made it deserves ss summa

Of the Republican owes it to himself either to
bring the guilty officer to punishment, by pub
fishing his name, and producing the witnesses,
or to show that the assertion is . libel and ex.

The Tribune reviews portion of bis letter and
by comparison of . few dates and we'll known
