HAMILTON, New. 7.

It is known here that considerable
ill feeling on the part of the Mormons
exists against Dan. Murphy, who has
about $1,000 head of stock grazing in
the hills in the vicinity of Deep Creek.
The Mormons complain that his cattle
encroach on their feeding grounds, and
have, therefore, melted the Indians to
acts of lawlessness.
The volunteers from Eureka, under
command of Major Dennis and Capt.
Kelley, are marching to Steptoe and
Little Spring valleys.
The Phoebe and Hamilton volunteers
are in the vicinity Of Cleavland's
ranch.
Captain Hubbard, of Eureka, is left
at Hamilton in charge Of the reserve
corps.
The U. s. Commandant at Fort Cam
eron has refused to send troops to the
vicinity Of the depredations, as he
fears for the safety Of the settlers Of
that vicinity.
1t is reported now that the Indians
have left Patterson Station, and are
making for Little Spring valley.
Two companies Of cavalry from
Camp Halleck have been ordered to
proceed to the besieged districts.
Troops are also reported to be coming
from San Francisco.
Families are still being sent to Cher
ry Creek and other towns from the
valleys.
1t is thought that the number of
troops, together with those to arrive,
will be amply sufficient to severely
punish the Indians.
PIocHE, Sept. Z.
While a small party Of Phoebe vol
unteers were going through Silver
Park, 40 miles from Phoebe, on their
way to Spring Valley to aid the set
tiers in defending their homes against
Indian depredations, they were fired
on by Indians and one of their num-
Der, w C. Glissan, wounded in three
places. He was brought back to town
this evening. The Indian who shot
him was instantly killed.
Pat. Holland, proprietor Of the
Phoebe Record, one of Glissan's es-
cort into town, brought the scalp Of
the Indian in and it is now being ex-
hibited on the streets.
Thirty Indians are now at Highland
five miles from here. All sorts of ru'
mors are in circulation. A general
Indian war seems to be inevitable,
The situation is anything but inviting
The people need guns; with thcm they
could protect themselves, as it is VIZ
can not say how the thing will termin'
ate. About two hundred men are now
in the field, partially armed, but with
. small supply Of ammunition. Ev'
,ry hour news Of an exciting charac-
ter is received, much of which is un'
reliable. All we car soy now is tha1
we are having war with the Indians
How extensive it is, or will be, WI
can not nov determine. There 10
strong feeling here that the Indian!
are acting under orders from theil
chief head in Utah.
