The Importance OF this record onn
hardly no oyerCsllmOtcd. And, al.
though our space will not admit Of u
full publication, We give nll the more
important facts;
On the head board OF two graves, ut
Burnt Ranch, on the Sweetwatcr river,
is written, "Killed by Indians, lNi'.'
/ In July, 1865 II party of prospeciors
were attacked on Willow creek, near
/ where South Pass city stands, and Cap
| tain Lawrence was killed. The others
| fled in the direction of Sweetwater,
but one Tony and another man were
/ killed, after running several miles:
| Captain Lawrence had six hundred
dollars In money; Tony gold watch
worth two hundred dollars and sixty
five dollars In money. The party also
lost several valuable horses, and all
blankets, provisions, etc.
In July, 1868, another party OF seven
men was attacked ut Bull Lake, be-
tween Big and Little Wind rivers, and
John Moore, Henry McCalley, a Mr..
BrowH and Mr.. Duncan, We're Killed:
The other three escaped on foot, and
after innumerable hariships reached
the mining camps. This party lost all
their h0lses and entire outfit.
On July 10, 1868, William Rose and
IL Mr.. Hays were killed, and one Hurst
was wounded, near Three Crossing of
Sweetwater. This party lost all their
goods and money. Rose and Hays had
each four mule team when they were
killed.
On May 10, 1860, Louis Daveaux was
killed while working in his field, on
Cottonwood creek.
William Rhodes, Henry Hardiman
and Frank Morehouse were killed at
different points on the road, between
Cottonwood and Little Pago-Age.
Rhodes lost four mules, harness and
wagon and $500 in money. Hartman
lost four horses; Morehouse lost horse
and between 81, 200 and 81, 400; De-
veaux lost everything he had at his
ranch.
On August Goth, 1869, Messrs. Skin
J ner and Colt were killed, and William
:, Williams wounded, on north fork OF
Big Papo-Agie. The party lost seven
horses and considerable money.
On August q, 1869, n Mr.. Camp was
, killed near the Canyon of Little White
river--proyisiOns and ammunition were
taken.
The same day man by the name of
Lask was wounded, below the Hot
Spring.
| Mr.. Fosher mentions that, in the
spring of 1870, the remains OF quite q
number of persons were discovered OH
Straw berry and Oregon gulches. They
We're supposed to have been Killed IN
the fall of 1869, but no information
could be obtained as to who the par
les were. Continuing his awful re-
cord, Mr.. Fosher reports that during
the fall of 1870, there were small nar-
ties out prospecting in every direction,
and that most every party had one or
more of their number killed, besides
sustaining great loss in provisions,
and everything necessary TO pros
pecting outfit. We again quote:
September 30, 1869, John q. Ander-
son was killed near Miners Delight,
and three yoke of cattle taken.
On the same day one Latham was
killed on the Big Atlantic gulch.
March 81, 1870, Frank Irwin was
killed on the Little Atlantic gulch.
William s. Bennington and James
: Othics were also killed on Smiths
Gulch, near where Camp Stambaugh
now stands, and Dugene Fabsbery,
John Mcclure and Arson Il. Kellogg
were killed at st. Nays Station, on
Sweetwater; Kellogg lost two valuable
horses, etc.
May 10, 1870, Lieutenant Stambaugh
was killed andSergeant Brown severely
wounded in an engagement on Big
Beaver, between the Indian and COM
pany ID, second cavalry, under COM
mand of Major David Gordon. In this
engagement several Indians were Killed.
This is the first punishment they re-
ceived.
June II, 1870, Oliver LIamreauX was
killed on the Point of Rock road, some
eighteen or twenty miles south OF
Atlantic. He lost gold watch, two
horses and considerable money.
On the 25th of June, DIR. Barr, Har-
vey Morgan and jerome Wilson We're
killed on Willow creek, between Big
and Little Papo-Agie rivers. They lost
four horses and large lot OF provis-
, ions.
/ October 8, 1872, Michael Henan was
killed on Big Beaver hill, near Miners
Delight, and four valuable mules taken.
July "a, 1873, Miss Hattie Hall and
Mrs. l.. Richardson were killed and
shockingly mutilated, OH Big Papo-
Agie. Mrs. Richardson lost between
5000 and 81 200, and two gold watches.
The Indians also shot arrows into u
number of cattle, several ofw which died
from the effects. est
The bodies of almost every person
mentioned as killed, during all these
long and weary years, were so savage
ly mutilated that identification was
exceedingly difficult, and in a number
of cases the poor victims were tortur-
ed most fiendishly before life became
extinct.
Not one of these parties have re-
turned nor has anything been heard of
them. Fears Are entertained that they
have been surprised and killed, by the
Indians who stole the horses, and that
a general raid will be made early in
the spring. r9IoA D0.f
We ask of our eastern exchanges that
they give to this report of Mr.. Fosher,
such attention as it merits, and that
they will bear i'm mind the record en-
braces but mere fraction of the bOun-
diaries that are exposed to just such
outrages and barbarities. Volumes
could he filled with similar murders
and robberies of the red devils all
along the extended and exposed from
tier.
