lSDIAS FERoCrrr ON THE TExAS FRosTIsR.-
private letter from Fort Belknap, Texns, relates
the following;
"A party of Witchitaw indians recently stole
number OF horses from Fort Crogan, and made
good their escape They were pursued by Major
Sibley, who went into the Indian agency, situated
about thirty five miles from Fort Belknap, where
be found a party of Camanches and Witchitaws,
holding talk with the agent. With the appro-
baton Of the Camanches, Major Sibey made priso-
ners Of eight Of the principal warriors of the Witch
flaws, who were Immediately disarmed. He then
made arrangements to send two of the prisoners
back to their village for the stolen horses, and with
this understanding in which the Wtchitaws ap-
parently acquesced, the whole party went to sleep.
About O'Clock at night the principal chief of the
accused Indians sprung up, drew pistol which
he had concealed, and shot one OF the sentinels
through the heart, and was himself Immediately
shot by another sentinel. As the chief fell he re-
peatedly stabbed the be had shot, and then
buried the knife in his own breast. During the
confusion which ensued, the other Witchitaw pri-
soners made their ape. Upon examining the tent
occupied by the chief who had thus put an end to
his own existence, it found that previous to
killing the sentinel he bad, with his hand, put
to death his wife and child, boy about eight years
OF age, evidently expecting that he would be killed,
and preferring to be the murderer of his wife and
child rather than let them fall into the hands of the
whites. IL was thought, too, by the officers, that
be made the selfsacr6ce in order to aid the escape
of his companions -
