the Muddy are conducting themselves
toward parties passing through and to
residents of st. Thomas and st. Joseph,
in this county. Their acts have been of
such o nature as to call for the immedi-

residing in this city. Not long since a
man named James was chased to his
dwelling, several shots fired at him, and

shovel by T1ndians. Another by the
name of Stewart was fired ut several
times, took refuge in his house and was
SO thoroughly frightened that he sold his
place ut a very low figure and left the
country, glad to get away with whole
skin. Our County Assessor was both

county, and they went so far as to demand
toll of him for the privilege of passing
along certain road. Curtis thought

man out of the way who they think will
not be missed. Wesley Williams and
party were considerably annoyed at the
crossing of the Muddy. Citizens of st.
Thomas say the Indians are running
around the village in the middle of the

they are not. If something is not done,

them by storekeepers.
