ly mutilated that identification was
exceedingly difficult, aud in n number
! of cases the poor victims We're tortur-
= ed most iiendishly before life became
| extinct.
OF the most regent outrages we have
= the following:
. The following parties have lost stock
t IN addition to those already spoken
of.
f Jules LamemuX five horses; McuIm-
7 ber Smith n Co., seventy-SiX head of
mules; Thos Butler, -four mules John
, Smith, two horses; Marion Thomhurg;
f four mules; Jason sherman, twenty
two head OF work oxen; Il. Pollock,
three mules; Tip Likins, two horses;
w. =. Noble, eight oxen and five
horses; Is. " |. Decary, two horses,
, Frank Barthunc, three horses, VIM.
, Boyd, four horses John Bonner, five
, horses James Ferris, four horses;
lGban Smith, six mules; James Baum,
$ four horses; Mark Petith, eight mules;
o Major n, Baldwin, five large fat cattle
= and four horses; he also lost six OF
eight hundred dollars worth OF goods
, when Burnt Rancho and little Sandy
s stations were burned in 1867.
There are many others who had stock
stolen in the mines and in the valleys,
| of which have been unable to get an
, accurate report.
; AS late as Saturday, the 9TH instant
the Indians made raid on Big Pupo-
Agile valley and stole eight head OF
horses The trail led down the Papo.
Agile in the direction of the Sioux
, country, some seven or eight miles
: from where the stock was stolen. One
horse was found the ensuing Tuesday
, the 9th instant. George Langus and
+ Joseph Truckee started ont with the
intention of hunting the missing
horses. They took only lunch with
them, saying they would return the
, same evening. Jules LamereauX also
left Papo-Agie on Friday morning, Che
9th instant, at 10 o'clock.
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
general raid will be made early in
the spring.
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 in mind the record en-
braces but mere fraction of the b0un-
diaries that are exposed to just such
outrages and barbarities. Volumes
could be filled with similar murders
and robberies Of the red devils all
along the extended and exposed from
tier.
