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."No Known Copyright The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
