Indians

Some time since, a party of Indians came to the house of Mr. John M’Gowan, who resides about 40 miles from Vincennes, on the state road; the family were retiring to bed unconscious of danger, until  alarmed by the discharge of a gun which killed M’Gowan as he lay on his bed.  Three boys who were in the house immediately jumped up put out the light and fired at the Indians, who went off with two horses belonging to the family.
