SMITH.  
Report from Butte County - Oroville (Ca.), August 8 - There are rumors 
here this morning that the indians made a raid in Concow Valley, six miles 
above Yankee Hill, in this county, yesterday. They killed a man known as 
Scotch John, and wounded a Mrs. WORKMAN. Miss SMITH, sister of 
Mrs. WORKMAN, is missing, supposed to have been taken away by the indians.

A large party from this vicinity have started in pursuit. (new paragraph) 

Latyer from Concow are that the body of Miss SMITH was found back of 
the house with her throat cut from ear to ear. The house was robbed of 
$2,000.00 in coin, two gold watches and other valuables. As there were 
only three who made the attack, the supposition here is that it was white men 
disguised aqs indians. Most of them were absent. Concow Valley is about 
two and half miles long and one mile wide. Some eight ot ten families are 
living there.
