A letter from Phoebe, from we'll |
known and truthful person, says: We
have o small Indian war here. but
think it will soon be settled. Old Mnr-
ply and another scamp are the ones that
caused all the trouble. Murphy's cattle
are eating up the Indians crops in Snake
Valley; he has Just driven ten thousand
head to that place. The other man stole
squaw and Kept her hid for whole
day and otherwise mistreated her. The
Indian husband shot the man the next
morning, and think it served him right.
Then Murphy and another man shot
an Indian; and. worst Of all. one Of Muir
phys Spaniards shot q poor old Indian
for no crime at all, and merely, as he
said, for fun. Every one hereabouts
knows that our Indians do not permit
their squaws to have anything to do with
white iAen, and il caught in any such
acts the squaw and white man are both
killed. We came near having an Indian
war six years ago on account OF similar
acts as that mentioned, but the whites
told the Indians to kill all white men in
terfering with squaws, and so the war
was stopped"
OF the letter, Parkinson. with his
usual good sense, says, it proves that
no trouble would have occurred II the
whites had acted properly"

The editor OF the Phoebe DAILY RECORD
is low spirited because the Eagle saia
that the once lively town OF Phoebe is
somewhere west of the Rocky Noun.

ignorance Is inexcusable. That the soc.
ond district in the great Silver State is
too well known to admit of such indiffer-
ent acknowledgement. and be advises the
E,gle to study up the topography OF the
great West. A careful examination OF
the map in the United States surveys
proves the Eagle to be right. Phoebe is
somewhere west OF the Rocky Noun
tains, three hundred miles from a rail
road, and probably has legitimate ex-
cuso for existence 30 far from civilization

Sheriff Fife, OF Lincoln county
who joined the Commissioners of thai
county in the dispatch TO Governor
bradley denunciatory of Cleavland and
Murphy, informed gentleman while

gram IN print, and having learned fulle,
particulars Of the origin Of the Indian
excitement. he became convinced tina,
those gentlemen had been too severely
censured, and had accordingly writleI
Mr.. Cleavlsnd letter of explanation
and apology. This was manly in MI
Fife; and the Commissioners OF Lincoln

they would follow bis example. L Eurek

The RECORD, answering for itself, ht
nothing to retract or apologize for ant

already expressed opinions.
