On Sunday evening last 2 Indians came to Mr. Jacob Stucker’s on North Elk Horn, near Lebanon, and stole 3 horses; on Monday a party of about 12 Indians killed a lad about 2 or 3 miles from Col. Johnson’s, near Capt. Herndon’s; Capt. Herndon, who heard the guns, having a horse saddled, immediately rode to the place, and seeing the lad killed, alarmed the neighbourhood, and in a very short time raised about 15 men and pursued the Indians; a number of others who collected after Capt. Herndon started, followed after: Capt. Herndon and his party, after following some distance, they discovered the trail of horses who had stole Stucker’s horses to cross those they were then in pursuit of, and much easier to follow, Capt. Herndon thought proper to leave the former and pursue the latter; in a short time they came up with them, killed 2 and wounded the other (there being only three) and recovered all the horses.
