The following extracts are from a letter from Wickenburg,
dated November 5th, giving the particulars of more Indian
depredations:
On the morning of November 2d the mail rider and escort
sent from Wickenburg to Prescott, A.T., were attacked by
Indians when within ten miles of Walnut Grove. The mail
rider, Mr. Riggins, received three arrow wounds in the arm,
and one of the two soldiers allowed by Major Clendenin,
commanding Fort Whipple, as mail escort, was killed, his
mule and arms taken and the mail and mail pack mule also
captured and taken off by the Indians.
