Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-09-07

dispatch from Cnerry CTech, SlotihB
.h.t the ranches Of A. C. Cleavland
and Dan. Murphy, both large stock
raisers in Spring valley, in the east
arm part of White Pine county, near
the Utah line, were surrounded by
hostile Indians. The dispatch also
.,..ed that word had been sent to
Cherry Creek for assistance, further
than which no particulars. The news
created consideral comment about
town. but no one seemed to a~pprehend
serious trouble or anything beyond a
slight misunderstanding between the
ranchers and the Indians, which
would admit of speedy ad-
iustment. The Indians had been
40 long, on friendly terms with the
whites all through Central and East
ern Nevada that an outbreak of the
magnitude developed by later intelli-
lirence was the farthest from the
thoughts Of all. 1t was not until late
Sunday evening that the extent OF the
movement and the great peril was fully
appreciated here. Then it was that
DISPATCHES were received from Gov.
bradley, at Elko, ordering u local
military companies to proceed to
The Scene of Danger
With all possible haste. The news
spread rapidly, and 500 the members
of both companies had collected In
force at their respective armories, a
courier having been sent to Ruby Hill
for the members employed In the
mines. All were anxious to go, but
the matter of supplies and t%ransporta-
ton seemed TO present an almost
surmountable barrier. 1t was also
found that there was not 3 sufficient
amount Of ammunition prepared for
such an expedition. Captains Kelley
and Hubbard, supported by their SUBJ
ordinate officers, were active IN setting
matters. hoping to get an early
start Yesterday morning. Men were
detailed to prepare cartridges, others
to secure transportation, ETC., and the
work of
Preparation for March
Went bravely on. At an early hour
yesterday morning all was again
hustle and activity, but the same diff
Guilty. namely, tho lack OF transporta-
ton, was once more made painfully
apparent. A few OF each company
had secured horses, but the great ma
,Jority were unsuccessful. In this di-
lemna 1t was determined to send the
men forward i'm wagons, and the Off
GERS set about to procure them. In the
meantime dispatches began to pour in
urging the greatest haste, and upon
the Governor being informed by tele-
graph of the situation he answered in
substance: "Seize horses and 90 at
once" BY this time a ~detachr,ent of
Captain Kelley's company, numbering
some twelve or fifteen men, all mount
ed and equipped, were ready for the
march. 1t was accordingly deter
mined by Major Dennis and Captain
Kelley that they would make
The start
With these, leaving a lieutenant in
charge to furnish and move on with
the rest at a later hour. Two or three
wagons, carrying r%ations, blankets and
a few men each, also rolled out at
about the same time. To get the re-
naming forces I'm motion ecourse was
had, under the order Of the Governor,
to

Into the service. The streets at this
%juncture became the theater Of much
excitement, and the principal thor
oughfares werc thronged with a surg |
ing mass of men during the remainder
of the day. Soldiers with fixed bayon-
cts began to capture animals right and
lett, and with q total disregard of the
wishes Of the owners. Saddle horses,
team horses, mules, any and every
thing, was confiscated on the spot.

ana the rest of the livery men were
compelled to contribute with equal
iioerality. Walter b. Harrub surren-
aered several fine animals, as did also

good horses with which they did not
care to part hastily drove them into the
mountains, and thus escaped the draft.
