DISTURBING THE PEACE Office Westfield
yesterday arrested five individuals, all white,
male and female, charged by Mary Hobbs with
disturbing the peace. This case came up before
Justice Walter, who, decreeing that they had
made rather more noise than the law allows
required each to give security to keep the
peace.

Second Precinct Station house, two families,
one of four persons, and another of nine (mi.
nus the baby which was left home with q
neiehbor,) the former charging the latter with
disturbing the public peace. The com planning
family testified to their children being abused
by the children OF the other family; the parents
of the aRgressors refusing to correct them but
rather adding to the injuries by haunting the
prosecuted ones. On the other hand the head
OF the aggressing family, asserted that the diff.
fculties were occasioned by children's quar-.
rels which should not be noticed, and neigh
Dor testified to the children OF the complain
ants being as bad as children usually are. The
justice held the family of nine-without. the
baby-to bail in S100 to keep the peace.

Of Indian Affairs west Of the Rocky Montana

removal OF all the United States troops from Oregon
then located At six military posts This request Was
granted and 10 1851 they were all removed And during
my three years care the Indians OF that great
country, which then included Washington Territory not
the white people and the Indians except in one case
which was as follows-The United States officer having
charge OF the last Of the troops leaving Oregon while on
his way TO California requested to chasse the In
dams OF the Rogue River country for some alleged
depredations This chastisement resulted in killing
seventeen Of the Indians Upon thorough investiga.
tion OF that ahar ascertaned that the depredations
complained Of had been committed by white men, and
the Indians IN that case were entirely innocent
IL was often remarked by Mr. Catln, whom WINS
travelling with him this side Of the Rocky Mountains
that o. We were far away from military poss there was
no fear from Indiana The military posts should lin nv
opnonI be removed from all parts Of the Indian country
then keep whskey away from the Indians, and place
few honest and tried that friendly TO the In.
