AN AUsTISIrE SHOT ny INDIANs.-We
learn from the Arizona Miner OF the 9th
ultimo, that Joseph Todd, formerly of
this city, and we'll known as n ~prospector
in the southeastern part Of this State,
was shot and badly wounded by the Tn-
dams, while travelling in the mail stage.
The Miner gives the following account
of the affair A week ago to-day, as the
stage containing the United States mail,
the driver, Mr.. Tingley, Joseph Todd of
this place, and George Jackson of Peta-
luna, California, was passing through
Granite Wash, about midway between
Wicksnburg and La Paz, on its way to
the former place, it was attacked by
about 80 Indians, who lay concealed in
the brush, OIL each side of the road.
The Indians were armed with guns, and
tried their best to kill and capture the
party in the stage, all of whom were
wounded. The driver, Mr.. Tinglsy, re-
ceiyed three wounds, Jackson was
wounded slightly, Todd vas wounded
in the spine, and rs he was just recover
ing from sickness and medical treatment,
it is feared he may die from the effects
Of his wound. When the Indians FIRST
fred at the stage, the horses became
frightened, turned out of the road, and
ran through a body Of Indians. Mr..
Tingley, although badly wounded in the
wrist, got hold of the reins, which he
had dropped in order to shoot at the In
dials, turned the animals into the road
and got out of the wash AS quickly as
possible. The Indians chased the stage
all the way through the wash, but the
horses made good time, and they wsro
unable to catch up with it before it ar
rived at Cullen's Station, where Todd
and Jackson were left, while the driver
was taken to Wickeuburg.
A QUEER TALE.-We cannot vouch for
the following, but will tell tho tale rs
it was told to us: A party Of three men
from California, bound for White Pine,
camped the other night At the foot OF
the grade. In the course Of the day the
animal packed with the kitchen
bolted and lost a part of his load, which
included the bread pan, aud the men
were at their wits end to contrive the
mixing of o batch Of bread. lust then
q large dog came rafting down the
grade, right for their camp, and as he
dashed through, one Of the men, who
was cutting bacon with a heavy knife,
slashed at the frightened animal and cut
off its tail. The dog had been kettled
in this city, and as tho men picked up
tho tail they found attached to it an old
tin pan, which they washed and speedily
put to use. They regarded the finding
Of the bread pan IS q special providence,
and continued their journey to White
Pine with light hearts.
Our IN THE Cold In tho District
Court yesterday afternoon u White Pine
cause was, on tho motion Of the defend
ants and the order Of Judge Beatty,
thrust out in the cold. The cause is
John P. Kelley Va. Henry Collins and
others, and refers to the title Of lots OF
land. The order Of the Court transfers
it to White Pine County, which is to be
but is not-is it? By act OF the last
Legislature-what n profound blessing
it would be il it were literally the last
White Pine County will spring out OF
emOTyO lutO NCtuNl CAlotSHSo w NV
of April next; in the meantime, where
is it2 1t seems to us that the cause
mentioned is at present beyond the jnris
diction Of any Court waif on the
legal sea. 1t is a pretty quarrel, and
ought to have fixed, positive, and actual
relations. Where is John p. Kelley VS..
Henry Collins ct ais?
A Few MoRE.-One of the passengers
who arrived here yesterday from Argsnta
told US that three cars crowded with
about 200 enterprising souls from Cali
fornia passed on to Elko, whence their
lively freight would move at a right
angle for White Pine. There were thirty
pettieoats in the number. Some Of this
lucky 200 informed OUT passenger that
the mon of California know when they
have a good thing, "you bet YOU ana
that plenty more were coming to White
Pine from all parts Of that State.
