An Indian Massacre,

Governor Pitkin received a dis
patch on Monday stating that Indians
had murdered John Thurman, a cat
tie man, Richard May and Frank
Smith, two hcrders. The following
from the Durango Record of the 9TH
confirms the dispatch:
GREAT BEND OF THE DOLORES,
LA PLATA Co., May 3, 1881.
Captain ChaS. u. 4Shcom, DURANGO:
The Indians attacked and burned
the ranch of John Thurman, of this
county, on last Sunday morning at
day break. They have stolen about
one hundred and forty head of horses
and are moving north towards the
San Miguel.
Richard May, John Thurman ami
Frank Smith are killed. The bodies
of Thurman and May were found and
buried today. They were mutilated
almost beyond recognition. We have
not as yet found the body of Smith
Yours Respectfully,
d. l.. SHEETS.
The story is further confirmed in a
letter written by Frank w. Cove to
a friend in Denver. The letter says
Nays body was found in the burnt
cabin which belonged to Thurman
The Indians were reported camped
Oh Beaver creek, near the big bend of
the Dolores river. The letter con-
cludes as follows: "The cowboys
are already in the saddle and in
arms !; the Moncos and Dolores set
tiers are excited and alarmed. These
are facts and not the common exag-
Grated statements"
