mail service from Kearney to Laramie writes from
CorroS WooD SPRINGS, !
LOUISA STArIos, April %, 1859.
Night before last fifteen Pawnee Indians came up
here and stole thirty head of horses from the Cheyenne
village, camped at this station. So this morning
eighty Cheyenne braves mounted their war horses,
started in pursuit, and overlook Mr. Pawnee at Gold
Water Station, eighteen miles below here while they
at the station trying 10 sell or trade the ponies
They made the swoop right quick, as George Atkins,
Station Agent shovels Mr. Pawnee out doors, and
lets them settle their own difficulties prairie style.
The Cheyepnes killed eleven Of the Pawnees in short
order.
Four of the latter are dangerously wounded, to-
night we are having great tine. The Chcyennes
are having their celebrated dance, and we are all
hands rejoicing over the victory. All there was
wrong about it is, there were not enough OF tho
Pawnees to give the any kind Of fight; and all we
geve about is that there was MOI enough OF the Chey
enpes killed. But we are thankful for small avors,
and hope for fights and both sides equally victo-
rious. All right; we don't care which side whips.
Go in and holler
The nail will be along tonight and I must close 10
go to the war dance. The blacksmith and wagon
shops are both full Of gentlemen from Pixies Peak,
minus the gold, and id glad to sleep on the shaw
