TERRIBLE IxprAN ENGAGEMENT
From our friend, j. Jowett Wilcox,
clerk of the steamer Omaha, Just down
from Sioux city, we learn that bloody and
sanguinary butchcry came OFF about one
hundred miles out in the interior of Ne
braSka from Decatur, between the OMAHA
and Brulc Sioux Indians, on the 22d ult.
y body of fifty OnMhas, men, women
and children, were returning from hunt
ing expedition, and while encann l, were
stoalthily attacked in the night / a large
band of Brulc Sioux The Omalas had
seventeen Killed, seventeen wounded, and
two prisoners taken, and succeeded in kill
ing aud securing five scnlps of their enc
mics. The survivors of the massacre ar
rived at their reserve. near Decatur, brin-
ging the dead and wounded, on the day the
Omnha passed up. Mr. Wilcox states that
the Sioux neither spared age or sex. IIo
saw a dead infant with II friyhtful wound
across it's forehead, killed in the engage
mcnt. The'dcud and wounded lying in the
bottom, presented a terpiblc spcctaclc.-
The -amcnt.tiomof the friends and rel :
tivcs, with faces blackcncd, and in deep
mourning, were truly piteous and heart
rcnding. The wounded are in charge of
the agent, who cpdcavcrs tn ameiorate their
Suf!erings Ms much MS possible.
