From our Susanville exchanges, we learn that Henry Vanetti, a Swiss dairyman
of Mountain Meadows, was struck on the head with a rock thrown by an Indian,
named Walter Paconum, a week ago last Sunday. The blow crushed his skull
and he died from the effects of it last Wednesday. From witnesses to the
affray it is learned that Vanetti was the aggressor. He was pursuing the
Indian with a pitchfork handle, when the Indian picked up a small rock and
turning on his assailant, hurled the stone at his head. (1:3)
