INDIAN WAR HISTORY

A.L. McGee and J.B. Usher may be hunting on the C.E. Johnson's place in
West Bishop for the bones of one of the men killed during the Indian War
in the Bishop Creek Battle.  Cage Pleasant, for whom Pleasant Valley is
named, Sheriff Scott of Mono County and a man named Harrison Morrison
were the white victims in that fight.  All were buried in their clothing
at the time.  The bodies were dug up by the Indians and stripped of their
clothing.  They were again buried wrapped in blankets and again dug up
and their covering taken.  Mr. McGee, who was in the fight, has made more
than one examination for some traces of remains but without success, and
it is likely that no discovery of that kind will ever be made.
