again paying us more visits. They
have rer,n,lv killed Two men in the
Border Regiment, cntnmandet.- by
Col. jams brand. The indians
came to this, county, in which we
have near one full company. Some
of til. company sailed ont to run the
indians oft. but the indians made
light, X Hing one Lieutenant and
vnuudiig one private so badly thar
ne has since did. 1t is thought that
sc killed some Of til" indians, but il
50, they carried off their dead. rs
one were. found on the ground, but
plenty OF b,od WIS sen. Since
that some twcnty-tour State tr,ors
lave been out with 10th pack and
saddle horses. They pitched til il
camp at The foot Of Il hill. putting out
their guards. The first thing they
knew the indians catnr oyer the hill
rushing light down amongst them,
before they knew anything about
them. wounding on" man pretty bad
~ and taking every horse ana pack
male they had. Tbs Was in the
night. Since then they have chased
two of oar citizens who on y saved
themselves by having better horses
dian the indians had. The indians
seem to be in our county all the time,
% that it has Lcco,nc dangerous to
20 out without a guard.
