The despatch which communicates this report
does not state precisely where the attack made.
Capt Marcy was recently in command at Fort Smith,
near the boundary line of the Indian territory. 1t
is probable that the Indians were attracted in such
numbers by the hopes of plumber from the numerous
California trains which are now crossing the plains.
Fort Smith being of the starting points for emf
grants. Capt Marcy belonged to the 5th Infantry,
