Campbell, who was killed by Indians a short time ago, of which mention was made in the Enterprise, was killed in his garden in front of his house about three miles from Mr. Bush’s place on Whitewater. He had been killed about eight days before there was any suspicion of his death. He was shot through the back, the ball passing through or near the region of the heart. He was working in his garden at the time as evidenced by the garden tools lying near the body. The house was plundered and everything taken that could be found. At the time of the killing one of Mr. Bush’s horses was stolen from Campbell but the animal somehow got away and came home a few days after- wards. Moccasin tracks were discovered about Campbell’s house and a man having been killed on the Blue about the same time together with but other evidence left no doubt that these depredations were committed by Indians.
