INDIAN DESPERADO KILLED -- The Mariposa Gazette says a Yaqui Indian desperado, named Colorado Jack, was killed on the 25th of January, near the town of Colorado, Mariposa county, in the following manner: A party of men from the latter place heard that he was concealed in an old tunnel and on arriving at the place a dog was sent in. Jack, who dreaded a dog more than he did a rifle or 6-shooter, immediately came out and opened upon the party with a double barreled shot gun. The fire was returned and about 16 bullets put into him, killing him instantly. A Yaqui Indian, known to have murdered his partner some time ago, was also arrested in the neighborhood, on suspicion of being engaged in the murder of DATES, brought to town and lodged in jail. Tuesday he was handed over to the authorities at Coulterville.
