INDIAN FIGHT ON THE SACRAMENTO--ONE WHITE MAN KILLED

On Saturday last Jacob Robinson, a packer, went to an Indian rancharie near Smith's Ranch, on the Sacramento about twenty miles above this place, and asked for an Indian to hunt an estrayed mule. The one whom he addressed said that the Indian that always hunted up the strayed mules had gone to Yreka. Robinson told him that he didn't believe it, for he had seen him a short time previous. A young Indian, who had formerly resided with D. D. Harrill, of this place, then, approaching Robinson, told him that he was a "Shacktaw" of that tribe, and that if he had anything more to say he had better say it to him; and then snubbed his (R's) nose with his quiver of arrows. R. immediately went back to Smith's ranch, and getting a Mr. McGowan and Wm. King to follow him, returned to the rancharie. When the latter two arrived, Robinson was already engaged in a fight with the Indians. Seeing that he was being overpowered, however, he took to the river, and while swimming across, received an arrow in his head, one in the shoulder and one in the thigh--all of which Dr. Henry Bates, of this place, extracted, and now his prospects for recovery are favorable.

McGowan snapped his gun at an Indian, and then, clubbing it, went into a hand-to-hand fight with a number of them. He received a severe cut in the head with an axe, and an arrow in the left ventricle of the heart, which resulted in his death on Monday.

Wm. King managed to escape to the hills unhurt. During the week the whites have secured about a dozen of the chief men of the tribe, and will hold them as hostages until the Indian boy (the same who lived with Mr. Harril) who shot McGowan is delivered into the hands of the officers of the law
