Indian Robbers i'm Oregon and Arizona
Captain Henry Wagner, of the First cavalry, COM
handing the military post at Camp McDermot, New,
reports, under date Of May 49, that Information had
been brought to that post by Mr.. John NJ Reed, OF
Wild Horse Creek, Oregon. that he lost sixteen
head OF cattle during April which were probably
driven of and killed by Indians Another stock raiser
In the same locality also reports loss of stock by
Indians. The parties lay blame to the cold Winnie
muccas" band of Stcen Mountain Indians, and par
tcularly to the band of the sub-chief called "Joe."
IL Is not thought scout after these Indians will
do any good, ~ they continually on the move
ana would have time to hide themselves in the
mountains before party from the post could reach
them. The only remedy remaining Is to confne
the remaining bands to a reservation. Major Carr,
of the Fifth cavalry, commanding Camp Mcdowell,
Arizona, reports that on the night of the l4th OF
May about twelve Indians came in and stole some
beef from the contractor They were trailed the
next day towards Camp Reno; but they scattered,
and the trail could not be followed. On the trail
was picked up a descriptive list of one OF the In
dams who was fed at the post last winter.

terday, although Monday, passed of
without any particular sensation. No
mysterious trunk was left at any Of our
grocery stores by woman and boy.
This thing Of leaving trunks and boxes
containing the remains OF human
beings, put out of the way by vio-
lence," has, we are proud to say, been
stopped. The public will be glad to
know it. No more will their feelings
be narrowed with thoughts of the I'M
timely quartering of some inofensive
citizen. The grocery keepers will be
glad to know it. No more will their
establishments be crowded with horror
stricken citizens and curiosity hunting
little folks, anxious to see how much
mystery can be evoked from a trunk
full OF dresses, petticoats, sacques and
other human remains"

The HISTORY OF NATIONAL REMEDY
Here is the history OF the most cele
brated tonic Of the age in nutshell
In 1860 it was announced that Ger
tain combination Of vegetable ingredi
ents, with a pure diffusive stimulant
was working wonders in the cure o.
dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver com
plant, periodical fevers, rheumatism
and constitutional weakness. The
unpretending name given to the specific
was Plantation B tiers. The statement
attracted the attention Of invalids
everywhere. The new remedy received
fair trial, and the results more than
confirmed all that had been said in its
praise. Thenceforward it was grand
success. The business columns Of the
press spread the glorious news far and
wide, and the martyrs to indigestion
biliousness, physical prostration and
premature decay, as ifby common con
sent, sought relief from the new vege
table restorative. They found what
they sought. From that time to the
present the increase in the demand fol-
Plantation Bitters has been one Of the
most striking events in this age.
