The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
August 10th, 1867
INDIANS.
A few days after the raid upon A.G. Dunn’s herd (Prescott)
referred to in our last, the Indians came again, and took of the
remainder of the horses. They made an attempt to get the cows,
but were not successful. About the same time they stole three
horses from the Sterling mill, and some cows from Skull Valley.
They also appeared on Lynx Creek, and wounded Mr. Pearson. On
Saturday last, the red devils killed at Willow Spring, near
Bell’s Calion, two soldiers coming with a message from the comm
andant at Camp McPherson to Gen. Gregg. Their bodies were found
stripped, and the murderers secured two animals and two guns..
Walnut Grove has been visited by the savages, and numerous
animals taken, Mr. Burger losing four. Early in the week two
soldiers belonging to the Camp just established by Lieut.
Converse, on Big Bug Creek, five miles below the mill, were shot
near the mill, one it is feared, fatally. A Sergeant accompanying
the mail was killed at the Willows on the Mohave road.
