10156. The Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory, February 27th, 1869, Another Indian Outrage.

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory February 27th, 1869 ANOTHER INDIAN OUTRAGE. A week ago to—day, as the stage containing the U.S. Mail , the driver Mr- Tingley, Joseph Todd, of this place, and Jesse Jackson, of Petaluma, California (bro— ther of our fellow—townsmen Cal. and Sol. Jackson, ) was passing through Granite Wash, about Mid—way between Wickenburg and La Paz, on its way to the former, it was attacked by about 30 Indians, who lay concealed in the brush, on each side of the road. The Indians were armed with guns, and tried their best to kill and capture the party in the stage , all of whom were wounded. The driver, Mr. Tingley, received three wounds. Mr. Jackson was wounded slightly , Joe. Todd was wounded in the spine, and as he was recovering from sickness and med— ica1 treatment, it is feared he may die from the effects of his wound. When the Indians first fired at the stage the horses became frightened, turned out Of the road , and ran right through a body of Indians. Mr. Tingley , although badly wounded in the wrist, got hold of the reins, which he had dropped in order to shoot at the Indians, turned the animals into the road and got out of the wash as quickly as possible. The Indians chased the stage all the way through the wash, but the horses made good time , and they were unable to catch up with it. Upon arriving at Culling' s Station, word was sent to Wickenburg, when Dr. Howard went out to attend to them. The driver was taken to Wickenburg. Messrs . Todd and Jackson remained at the station, and, if able, will come to Prescott with Jones & Werninger s trains It is feared that the Indians have killed Wm- Burnett , step—son of Allen Cull umber, of Walnut Grove, who was on his way to La Paz. He left Culling' s Station on the morning of the day the stage was attacked, and was not seen on the road by the men in the stage.
