The Virginia Gazette

On the 11th Instant, as two Men were going up to their Farms on Cacapon, they were fired upon about Sunset by an Indian lying in Ambush, and the foremost of them shot through the Thigh, but they happily escaped, and about eight o'Clock next Day brought an Account of it to Winchester, upon which Colonel Washington immediately ordered out a Party of brisk active Men under Captain and Lieutenant M'Neil, to the Roads contiguous to that Place, with Orders to divide this Party, and to lie in Secret upon the most suspected Paths for three or four Days, which he accordingly did, but returned without making any further Discovery than two Hogs being shot and ripped open, but otherwise untouched, supposed to be done about two Days before he got there, and by some other distinguishing Circumstances, he imagined the Party had made towards the Alleghany Mountains: No Mischief has been done since.
