INDIAN RAID.-Expressman Biggs gives US the
particulars of visit which a band of Indians
paid the abiding-place of Abraham S. Rogers,
on Salt creek, in Hay Fork valley, few dsys
since. Rogers and two other men -ere at work
within speaking distance 81 the house. when
they discovered seven Giggers at the door, and
that they had sacked it of everything-pro-
visions, two guns, and all the ammunition in
sight. They were all armed, and Rogers dis
covering that they had two surplus pieces, sus-
pected the truth, and politely requested them to
lay down the stolen arms. They refused, stating
that they needed the guns, and intimated to
Rogers and his companions that they would
need their scalps at no distant day. The Indians
seemed in no hurry to leave, but Rogers and his
friends did, and it is intmatcd that the biggest
time on record was made by the three from that
particular locality Next day four soldiers who
had tracked the redskins all the way from Mad
river, where they had killed some stock, arrived
In the valley, and in company with four citizens
started in pursuit of the depredators. No tidings
from them yet. Things are beginning to assume
serious aspect on the western border, and We
may be prepared to hear of Indian outrages at
any moment. We informed that Indians are
continually passing from the lower Trinity ria
Hiampom valley, to the Cottonwood country in
Shasta county, where they procure ammunition,
ETC., from the "friendly Indians. Nice state
of affairs certainly. Can any inform us
where the Cottonwood Indians purchase their
ammunition, or how they get it?

himself for n time to his ten dollars day dig

tart reply in store for whoever may venture to
infringe on his dignity But legal business was
dull and ~ the Judge - resolved to engage III
something that promised greater certainty Of
materigl with which to keep body and soul to-
gether. We shall miss him-mSs him about
the office-miss him on the strect-and more
than all we shall miss the mellow tones OF his
melodious voice. We never fully appreciated
tThe Harp that once through Tara ; Halls. or
" Gideon's Band" until we heard the music
flow from the lips of = the Judge Hope you II
have thirteen onnces the first cleanup, old boy,
and that the cleanup may not be far distant As

part of the Basin, came very near putting an end
to the existence of Chris Lucas last Tuesday
The descending struck and knocked him
into a bedrock ditch, and piece of solid earth

ditch and in less time than it takes us to tell 1t

that two men never worked harder for the same
length of time than Cornell aud Smith did to eX-
tricate him, although they hardly dreamed OF
getting him out alive. while Hawk came to town

superhuman efforts of his companions saved has

found that he had sustained no more serious in
jury than severe shock. together with a sprain-
ed ankle and skinned face. Il was a mirac Ulous
escape.
