PIocHE, Sept. 7.
While a small party Of Phoebe volunteers were
going through Silver Park, 40 miles from Phoebe
on their way to Spring Valley to aid the settlers
in defending their homes against Indian denra-
cations. they were fired on by Indians and ono
of their number, w. G. Glissan, wounded in
three places. he was brought back to town this
evening. The Indian who shot him was IN.
stantly killed.
Pat. Holland, proprietor of the Phoebe Record.
one OF Glissan's escorts into town, brought the
scalp of the Indian in, and it is now being ar.
hibited on the streets.
Thirty Indians are now at Highland, five miles
from here. All sorts of rumors are in circnla-
ton. A general Indian war seems to be newt
able. The situation is anything but INVITING
The people heed guns with them they could
protect themselves, but as it is we cannot say
how the thing will terminate. About two hmm.
bred men are now in the field, partly armed, but
with a small supply Of ammunition. Every
hour news of an exciting character is received
much of which no doubt is unreliable. ALI
that we can say now is that we are having war
with the Indians. How extensive it is, or will
be, we can not now determine. There is a very
strong feeling here that the Indians are setting
under orders from their chief head in Utah.
CHERRY CREEK, Sep. 7.
To d. II. Hall.
Do not hear much about the Indians TODAY.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.
I will send some cavalry to look after
the Indians, but they cannot reach Elko
before Wednesday. My dispatches of
yesterday from Cherry Creek say nothing
of Indians in that vicinity. Are you not
misinformed about Cherry Greek being
surrounded 1t is important for me to
know the facts as near as possible. Thus
far I learn only of a difficulty between
one ON two Indians and some white men.
