I had occasion to be at Cleveland, to-day,
and on my arrival there, no young men
were to be seen, every one being out hunt
ing "lnjuns." This surprised nc, altho'
| heard Of three Indians being seen near
Watcrvillc, but paid little attention to the
story. 1t was a fact, and the settlers in
that neiyhborhood turned out to, hunt
them; four of the party still followed
them and tracked them near to Cleveland.
They sent in word to, that place aud
the farmers in, Or about there shouldercd
their guns and went after them. After
hunting good part Of the day, thcv drove
them into; point that runs into Scotch:
Lake, when they shot two, killing one
and severely wounding the other, if not
killing him lie dropped Ills blankets,
bow and arrows, and some other trinkets.
Those who were there supposed that he
dragged. himself into the lake aud there
