rk; William Pewit, of Texas, and John Dorsey, of Missouri. At the time of the massacre Dr. Lincoln had in his possession $50,000 in silver, and between $20,000 and $30,000 in gold, belonging to the ferry company, which it ap- pears has fallen into the hands of the Indians. The three Americans who escaped in the manner described were named William Carr, Joseph A. Anderson and Marcus L. Webster. The above statements were taken from deposi- tions made by them before the Alcalde of Los Angeles, which were forwarded to the governor in the manner aforesaid. The testimony goes on to say that the Indians had declared to the Mexicans that their tribe was at war with the Americans; that they did not intend to suffer Americans at the ferry ; that they want to fight with the Americans. These Indians have since pursued two Americans, who are now at Los Angeles, after having succeeded in robbing them of everything they had. BACON $10,000 PER POUND
