Supposed Loss of Emigrants

The St. Joseph's Herald of the 27th ult., gives a list of persons supposed
to have been murdered by the Indians in Oregon among whom we find the
following: Mr. Tucker and 7 person of Rock Island, Ill.; Job and Jonathan
Parr and families of eleven persons of Lee co., Iowa; Mr. McCracken & family
of five persons from Wapello co., Iowa; Wm. Daniels and four persons of
Jefferson co., Iowa; and Mr. Bothe and six persons of Lee co., Iowa. We
trust that they may yet all arrive at their place of destination.
