INDIAN RAIDS ON Hay FoRK.-On the nth inst.
FIVE armed Indians made their appearance at
Goods ranch, near the head of Hay Fork creek
Mrs. Donelson, (Mr. Goods daughterl ana her
children short distance from the mouse,
and alone, when the Indians were seen apProach-
ing. The children Immediately hid IN the DISH
es. and Mrs. Doneson just managed to reach the
house and close and bolt the door in time to
elude them. They hurried round the house, and
arrived in time to fire one shot at her as she
closing the window, the bullet breaking the
thumb of the right hand. Mrs. d. seized a Navy
revolver and dared them to show themselves at
the window, which they declined. Mr.. Good
was in a field near by, and on hearing the firing
hasteped to the house. The children saw him
coming and told him the house was surrounded
by Indians. Nothing daunted, the old man rush
ed towards the door, the Indians firing at him
three times as he ran, neither shot taking effect.
Once in the house, he seized his rifle, and began
knocking the mortar chinking from between the
logs, hoping to get q shot at them, but the red
devils probably knew the old man too well, and
hastily decamped. OF the subsequent doings of
the band, and the pursuit. We leave Hay
Fork correspondent, R. B. Wells, Esq, to tell
"On following day five Indians answering the descrip
ou Of those who attacked Goods ranch arrived the East
Fork Of Hay Fork, near the head Of Conn Wells ditch
and attacked Chinese camp killing Chnaman, and rob
bng three cabins Of blankets clothing provisions and mon
ey The Cinnamon the attack made about ocock
In the afternoon and that all the who killed
hid in the brush they the Indians coming and
ing party of white concluded in pursuit and
accompanied by Cottonwood Indian guide followed
the trail for about mile and a-haf when upon

cd that there squaws with the party. We followed

there were no other Indians on Redsng creek Of
the depredators known keyed jim (supposed
to be the murderer Of George Wheerigtat Big Barr Dick
and Pete The latter raised at Douglas City by Char
ley Sanhope. Now of your readers may doubt my
statements In regard the guilt these camps because they
pets and what termed good Indians" My opinion
Is that there sufficient crcumsanal evidence to convict
and hang every of them if they white men"
INDIAN TRouBLEs-Mr Dusky, the Humboldt
mail rider, says rhat Indians scattered all
through the country along his route, and that he
thinks he shall throw up the job. 1t may be
we'll enough to suggest to the authorities that
the sooner something is done in this Indian mat
ter the better Our people are again receiving
positive proof of the beauties of the Reservation
system Within the past ten days good citizen
has been killed, lady crippled for life and
Chinaman killed by Indians who less than two
years ago were placed upon the Round Valley
Reservation with the understanding that they
were to be kept there.
Gop SPEED THEM.-Wm. B. Stoddard, Esq,
of Indian creek, writes us that the citizens OF
that place held meeting on the night of til 23d
for purpose of organizing company to pursue,
and if overtaken, punish, the Indians believed
to be guilty of the late murder there, and to raise
means to defray the expenses of such Company.
The sum of 1925 Immediately subscribed,
and on Monday morning seventeen well armed
and provisoned men left on the avenging errand.
Our chief hope is that they will find and hang
the murderers and all others found in their COM
pany.
NEW DIGGrNGs DIscovEnED.-We are informed
that rich diggings have lately been discovered in
Egan's Bar one mile below junction City, on
the east side of the river. large number of
claims have already been located, and the pros
pect for increased demand for the water in
Givan h Co.'S ditch is good. We further learn
that good paying diggings have lately been found
in Halls Gulch several miles below Trinity
Center, on the east side of the river, and that
quite a number of miners from the Sacramento
river side of the mountain are already at work.

SIcKNEss.-We regret to hear that there has
peen an unusual number of cases of sickness at
Trinity Center the present season, although no
deaths have occurred, and most of the cases are
nearly convalescent now. Fever and ague pre-
vailed there to greater less extent for sever
al years, but this season the disease has sumed
more of the type of Mountain fever. There
have also been quite a number of cases of chlls
and fever at Grass Valley within two months.
