renewing the acquaintances of bis
youth. In a letter to relatives in
Prineville is given a thrilling epi
sode that happened in this county.
The old gentleman writes:
' Fatty" Clark with two others,
many ears sgo, were camped on
Buck cretk. They were coming
up from California with a yoke of
oxen. While eating their supper
the Indians came upon them. The
boys immediately skedaddled. Tbe
Indians took their cattle and pot
of beans. The boys started to find
Camp Maury on Camp creek but
kept too far south. They got on
the desert and were eleven davs
without food or water save a bird
and four cups of blood taken from
the neck of their dos, which died.
They shot a cow down on the Mc-
Kwnxie and thus were relieved.
