COL. PRICE ON THE WAR PATH. -
It pleases us to learn
that this gallant officer has again taken the field
against the Indians Parties recently from the Toll—
Gate, on the Prescott and Mohave road, inform us that
he with Col. Young , another gallant officer ,
and
companies E, and K, 8th cavalry, were about starting
for Camp Date Creek, where they will be joined by B
company of the same regiment, when the command will
march to the Colorado River - Their object in going
there, is, we are told, to pick out a lot of murderers
from among the Reservation Indians ,
and place them
where they cannot kill any more whites Colonel Price
being well satisfied that it was Reservation Indians
that murdered Mr. Hadley What has satisfied him of
this fact is that on a recent scout in the Wallapai
country, he fell in with Sheerum and his warriors , who
told the Colonal that it was not Wallapais that have
been murdering and robbing, but "peaceable friendlies "
from the Reservation, and to prove it, Sheerum, with 60
of his warriors , took the trail of the friendlies and
drove them upon the Reservation grounds The chief ,
Leovi—Leovi, and Askit, a brother of Sheerum, are with
Col. Price's command, and if we are correctly informed ,
and his warriors will also visit the
Sheerum
Reservation .
