Wounded by Indians.

YESTERDAY morning at an early hour
the report was circulated around town
that W. c. Glissan had been shof and
wounded by Indians, but il was gener-
ally disbelieved, notwithstanding the
report was repeatedly confirmed. Later
in the day many reluctantly gave cred
encs 10 the story. About O'Clock p.
Holland, of this paper, drove into town
with a buggy containing MIR. Giissan,
who was severely, though not danger
ously. wounded. The scalp OF one OF
the Indians who did the shooting was
also brought in: undoubtedly the hrst OF
the campaign. Mr.. Glissan was I'M
mediately taken to his residence, where
his wounds were dressed. We called on
him q short time after and found him
sitting up smoking cigar, and whatever
his injuries, he seemed to bear them
with fortitude. He says that they rode
upon tho Indians unexpectedly at the
spring at Silver Park, when they moved
of, but on Mr.. Glissan's horse showing
signs of bucking, ran almost past them,
when they fired. One arrow took elect
in his thigh, one in the shoulder blade,
and one, which was headed with iron,
struck him in the breast, and but for the
Intervention of a powder flask, which it
pierced clear through, would have cost
him his life. Billy Glissan, hls son,
seeing the position, commenced hiring on
the Indians with his revolver-when they
scattered. Tho one that did the shooting
was killed by man named johnson.

LAKE VALLEY Mr.. A. D. Campbell,
the man reported missing this afternoon,
has turned up again, and reports that he
was in Spring Valley day before yester-
