We reached the settlements in %arson on the 28th day of June, ,kaving been forty-three days out, and remaineduntil the 30th of July, when we started on our return trip, travelling by the wrip of Warsaw &rid Trucky valleys, in which we met several sm$ll.parties of the Pylutes. We reached the meadows at the sirik of the Humboldt on the 6th of August, when we again met some two hundred or more of the Py-ntes, busily engaged havesting the grass-seed, a species of gdss somewhat resambling the millet in size and tsste of its grain, ana grows in great abundance npon the shores of tke lakes after 3s , waters recede in summer. This seed constitutes an important article of food with them, and large quantities of it are stofed in aepoaifs under ground for winter. We again saw but few Indians &er 'leiving the meadows, until we passed Stony Point, but learned from emigrants, whom we met almost hourly, that they had become ex-ceedingly treacherous, provoking open hostilities by attackilig -them Bath by day and night We were also told that a large amount of money bad been seen among them, wnsistinw of five, ten, a.nd twenty-dollltr pieces of gold, and that the bodies 07 three white jersons had 'been found and buried about fourteen miles below Gravelly Ford. But we camped within two or three miles of where this murder should have been committed, on the night of the 14th of August, where some hundred and fifty of the To-sow-witch band were also, camped, and with all diligence and stratagem that I could use I could find no money with them, nor could get any cli~et o the murder of the emi-grants. A large number of emigrant trains, with some two thousand head of cattle and horses, had camped for the night npon the same bottom. The Indians of this band appeared quiet, which rendered an incident that occurredatabout 9 p. m., the more mysterious. An attack was made upon one of the emigrant camps, (Mr. Thompson's, of Missouri ;) three shots were fired in quick succession, one Of the balls killing a fine mare at the stern of the wagon, the other two , assing through the cover of the wagon, without further ihmage. $his feat was so daring'and unexpected that Mr. Thompson could'not believe it ta be Indians, and as they had had a difficulty with some robbers on Raft river he supposed that they might still be in pnrkuit of them. Butas I drove out of camp next morning I discovered the tracks of three Indian ponies, which I followed into the caiion, about . two miles above Gravelly Ford, where I came sdddenly upon.% band of about fifty fierce warriors, who, on seeing me, sprung instantly for their guns and horses, and in a moment were ready for battle. I requested my interpreter to speak to them, when two of themwho h&: @en me before dropped their guns, and came running, to shake hands. We moved about half a mile below them, when in a short time thep were all in our camp. They acknowledged that t'hrge of thsm had Ered into the emigrant camp the night before, but said thkt tthecoolt ljelonging to that company had struck one of them upon the head with a stick when he asked him for bread. I noticed that he was nlightly bruised on the side of the face, whish fibowed plainly that tlie. A 7 |
