HIGHwAYMEN.-There is no doubt but that
the series of robberies committed on the Sac
ramento river road, recently, were perpetrat-
ed by parties belonging to regularly Or
are supposed to be located in the caves and
rocks at the base of Shasta Butte. A few
days after the commission of the depredations
near Portuguese Flat two valuable horses
were stolen from a farmer named Wolford, in
Scott Valley. The Sheriff of Siskiyou got on
the track Of the thieves, and after hot pur
suit chased them to the foot of Shasta Butte
where they abandoned their horses and took
to the rocky hills, which were inaccessible to
horsemen. The Sheriff returned to Yreka
with the captured horses, and nothing more
was heard of the thieves for several days; but
last week they turned up again at Rough and
Ready, in Scott Valley, were they were dis
covered after nightfall in the act of breaking
into store. One of the party was corraled
by B. Swain and others in house which he
had entered. but he succeeded in making his
escape to the woods adjacent, droppinga pair
of boots, a saw and several files in his flight.
Next day James McConachy and others
found one of their camps. in the hills, about
ten miles from Rough and Ready, and cap
tured saddle, rife, about 100 pounds of
bacon, can of butter, some -four and cheese,
a set of cooking utensils and twelve pairs of
blank cts. An Indian was guarding the
camp, but he fled to the chapparel on the
approach of the party. The band is thought
to be under the leadership of a man named
Brown, who formerly lived on Canon Greek,
Trinity county, and who is described as a
thief and desperate of the meanest type.

Brush of Nov. l0tb), party of soldiers and
citizens from Surprise Valley resumed the

followed several days, vending their way

them that the Indian was correct, and that.
sure enough, they were almost upon them.-
They lay perfectly quiet until dark, when,
discovering the camp fire of the enemy, they
advanced cautiously and almost speechlessly
until they were sufficiently near to watch the
motions of the Indians. They surrounded
the camp, took their stations, and lay upon
their arms, impatiently awaiting the coming
of day, eager to wreak vengeance upon the
murderers of their departed friend and com
rade. As the first gray streaks OF morning
became visible in the east, they commenced
moving slowly and cautiously upon the foe,
contracting the circle which they had formed
in the night, until they were upon the enemy,
when the work of slaughter commenced
Fourteen Indians were left dead upon the
ground, and many carried off by the survivors
as they escaped.
