Berrands’ camp, on Lost River, were attacked by about fifty Modoc Indians. Two soldiers were killed and four wounded. Five mules were killed. The soldiers who were killed were scalped. No Indians are known to be killed. Gov. Booth will be asked to authorize the raising of 100 volunteers in this State to co-operate with the volunteers in Oregon.
