WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1911 TALE OF THE CHASE ELZIE SMITH AND BEN CAMBRON RETURN AFTER FIGHT WITH INDIAN BAND OF MURDERERS B. F. Cambron and Sheriff A. E. Smith arrived in Alturas last Wednesday night, after their tiresome chase in search of the Indians who murdered the four stockmen near Eagleville. Mr. Cambron had come by way of Reno and Mr. Smith through Surprise, both reaching here at the same time. For a time the two gentlemen had hard work to answer the many eager questions and Wednesday night a large crowd at the Royal listened to the details of the chase. They described the trip as one full of hardships, as the weather was extremely cold and the trail led through a wilderness of snow for many weary miles. When the band of Indians were finally overtaken, they were evidently not expecting pursuit, as they were camped by a stream called Willow Creek, near Golconda, Nevada. the horses were picketed some distance away from the camp and when the posse of officers were discovered by the Indians, three of the bucks came out of the camp and made a dash for their horses. The officers had their Indian trailer shout to the renegades, telling them to surrender, as the white men did not desire to kill them. The Indians replied that they would not surrender and immediately they opened fire on the posse of white men. The posse immediately returned the fire, after which a running fight followed, which lasted for three hours. At the instant the white men fired all the Indians dropped, either being wounded or to avoid the bullets. They would then get up and run, trying to make their escape into a canyon that was near the camp. The youngsters fought like wild cats when captured and one boy aged eight, when he found that he could not escaped tried to kill himself by beating his head against the horn of the saddle, after being tied onto a horse. The girl also fought so fiercely that it took two men to hold her. A search of the camp resulted in finding many articles, which had belonged to the four murdered men. Harry Cambron’s watch was found, while the automatic pistol with which young Hogle of Eagleville was killed was the one, which Harry Cambron had carried. The clothing taken from the murdered men also was found and most of it had been altered to fit the Indians. One pair of "chaps" had been cut off to fit an Indian boy of twelve years. The Indians also had some of the horses taken from their victims, but all the horses were shot by the posse to prevent the Indians from escaping. The saddest part of the affair was the death of young Ed Hogle. The men saw one of the squaws and tried to capture her without shooting at her. When about thirty steps away, an Indian who was hiding behind her rose up and shot Hogle. Instantaneously the posse fired and the Indian fell riddled with bullets. The chief of the band was old Shoshone Mike and the remainders were his sons and their families. It was really a renegade family of Indians, who escaped from the reservation in Idaho and have been roaming about for years, living on what they could kill or steal. Old Mike lived for two hours after the fight and confessed to other murders, one a china man, of which they still had his queue and the other a young white boy near Elko. Two white men are now imprisoned under charge of murdering this boy. Mike stated that they saw one man (evidently Indianna) come up and look at the meat on the rock, where they had been jerking it and then go away. Later, when Cambron, Erramouspe, Indianna and Laxague appeared the Indians thought they were officers coming to arrest them and for that reason ambushed them and shot them. Mr. Cambron and Mr. Smith had with them many curiosities, taken from the camp, some of them being large bullets, which the Indians had molded themselves out of lead, besides fine specimens of the Indians’ weaving, at which they seemed expert. HASTING – NAVE At eight o’clock on Sunday evening, a very pretty wedding was solemnized. Rev G. N.
