fkon FoRr kEARSEy--I am this day in re-
ceipt Of private communication, dated,
"fort kcarney, \. I. lst September, 1885,"
and being impressed with the belief that you
might deem il worthy an insertion, tender
to you some extracts: My correspondent
states that on Saturday preceding the date
OF his letter, MIR. Jones, the mail conductor,
was wounded by the Cheyennes Indians,
ten miles from that post. The troops were
in their saddles IN half an hour, and by dark
found the trail. On the following morn
ing struck the trail, and followed it until
IL NJ, found where they encamped the night
before; from the camp the trail was fresh
and broad; by p. NJ. they came in sight OF
the Indians in camp; the plan Of attack was
soon made. Lieut.. Wheaton On the right,
Capt. Steward on the left, and Lieut.. McIn-
tyre in the centre. The Indians were speed
lily driven from their camp, and pursued abou,
eight miles, when night coming on, they
scattered, when the troops could no longer
follow to purpose. On their return to the
Indian camp, they found ten dead Indians,
and II IL thought many more were killed, ~ the
attack was made within thirty feet Of the en-
envy. The camp cquipage and camp was
burned, and twenty -three ponies and two
m ules captured. A train was attacked the
same night by Indians, when two men and
an infant were killed and woman taken
prisoner, but the troops could not get the
trail. This was Babbit's train. y
