Abstract

"It is well known to the military headquarters at San Francisco that this valley has been for the last two or three years the seene of many Indian outrages and depredations and that those who are now resident of the valley live in continual fear of an outbreak of the Indians, which, if it should occur, must necessarily result in the shedding of much innocent blood, as we have now among us many families of women and children. Your petitioners would further represent that the notorious Joaquin Jim, chief of the Pi-Utes in this region since the removal of Captain George to Fort Tejon, with his particular adherents, together with many fugitives from Fort Tejon and renegades from Captain George's tribe or division are now settled in our midst; that is to say on Bishop's Creek near Owensville, and upon the identical ground upon which Mr. Scott, sheriff of this county and Colonel Mayfield were killed some two years ago."
