Buchanan county, Iowa, it was ramorsd that the

from this county, we're the victims. Mr.. +. c.

Walter Hemphill, one Of Wilkinson's party, from
which we are permitted to make the following ex-
tracts. 1t gives a shocking but no doubt true
picture of the horrors of Indian warfare:
ssThe Indians did us no harm, but shot at MS one
night About two or three days after that, we found
where they had killed five men and wounded
woman, breaking her leg and violating her person,
after which they let her go; SO we travelled on
we camped with lot of soldiers, whore they had
killed about eighty Indians mostly women and
children About two hundred got away. This ran
the Indians of the road, or, suppose, we should
haye had to fight them. There were about twenty
the dead Indians. It looked mighty hard. tellyou
some shot, and others with their heads cut open,
scattered all around about an acre Of ground;
with no one to bury them"
