INDIAN JUSTICE.
Says the Eureka “ Sentinel —A white nuui cuming- through from Biocbc or Bristol stole an Indian’s horse somewhere down in the vicinity of White Uiver. The Indians followed the man to Hamilton, for the nearest constable, and tried to have the thief arrested. But the ofiicer refused to do anything with the case, saying lie could not act on Indian testimony. The Indians were not satisfied and resolved to have their horse. They followed to the neighborhood of Thirty-mile Springs, and stealing a march on the white man, they captured the mustang, and also gave the fellow who had him a most unmerciful beating, linally stripping him and leaving him naked on the plains. The horse thief had to travel two days in the scorching sun before reaching a [dace where he could procure an outfit of clothes. It is the universal verdict of all who are conversant with the circumstance that the redskins served him right. The nude one was blistered from head to foot when he reached a habitation.
