According to the Report of Captain G. C. Bittick of Burnet County, May 12 About the last of April/64, a party of Indians came in from the North part of Burnet County, not far off from the head Waters of San Gabriel. They drove out some horses (Number unknown). They also went to Lieut Sekfeel's [?] place and stole 2 horses from him in open daylight and killed another one near the house. his wife saw them going off with the Horses they had stolen. As soon as I was informed of the news I started a party of my men after them but they made their escape. On the 4th of May Sergeant Reeves of my Company with a party of men struck a trail of about 20 head of Horses driven by the Indians on the Head of deer Creek and the last I heard of them they were still in close pursuit after the Indians with dogs on the Trail.
