attacked German by the name of Henry,
who defended himself manfnily for five min
utes with bag of buffalo chips and routed
his assailants, after recsiving two spear
wounds Some had made at Hodgson, who
was armed with revolver. He discharged
1t four times, wounding one Indianin theIeg
when all crowded upon him-pierced him
with tAeir spears, and took his scalp. They
then left, driving off eighteen of our cattle.
We returned about an hour afterwart3. and
upon perceiving the bloody traces of theirdep-
relations, mounted our six horsesa aud started
in pursuit. We succeeded in recapturing our
cattle, which were not hart, with the Oxcep-
ton OF few spear wounds. This was the only
fatal accident we met with, although. we
constantly met bands Of Cheyenles, Sioux
