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.
