Terrible. Battle between the
Sioux and Chippewas at St.
joseph.
ELE VEN ZNDLANS KILLED
AND Sc VERAL WOUNDED.

We are indebted to James McFetridge,
late United States Collector at Pembina,
for the particulars of bloody fight be-
tween the Sioux aud Chippewas, of
which he was an eyewitness, at st. Jo-
seph, on the Pembina river, on the 10th
of June last: s7n
Lest summer, while the Honorable
Charles Grant was encamped with a par
ty of hunters, on Mouse river, twelve
horses were stolen from him by party
of Yankton Sioux. Nothing was heard
of the horses until the 10th of June last,
when a party of tbirty-two Sioux war;
riors, accompanied by two sqaws, arrived
at st. Joseph with the stolen property,
fer the purpose of returning it, in pur-
suance OF a recent treaty made between
the Pembira half-breed hunters and the
Yorkton Sioux. The delegation with
the stolen horses arrived OPP, osite st. Jo-
seph about two o'clock in The afternoon,
aud immediately crossed the rive. and
proceeded 10 the residence OF Gov. Wiki
lie, a member of the last Territorial Leg
isiature. Unfortunately large party of
Chippewes, and also parties of Assipi-
BONES and Creeks, were eucamped at St.
Joseph. The Chippewas fred on the
Sioux while in the act of entering Gov
ernor Wilkes house. The Sioux took
possession of the, house, and removing
the "chink;ng'' from between the LOGS,
retu, ned Inc fire with effect. From this
time until midnight constant firing was
kept up between the Indians. Six Chip
pewas, three Sioux, and two Assinibo;nes,
were killed during the struggle. Gov
ernor Wilkie's daughter, in passing with
in range OF the combatants, YVES severely
wounded in The thigh by an arrow. Mr..
McFetridge describes the scene as terri
BILE exciting, and relates instances of
great individual bravery Que Chippe-
wa, son of the Chief, Red Bear, was
shot three times in an endeavor to enter
the house. He fell TO the ground at
each shot, but raised himself aud pushed
forward. His progress was stopped at
tie threshold, by Sioux cea,ing bis
head through to the chin with an tx.
The house occupied by the Sioux is
about 200 feet from the river. The
Chippewas surrounded it, and 20 make
their escape, the Sioux were compelled to
run that distance, and wade the river to
the Sioux bank, in the face of constant
fire from their enemies. This they did
aided by the darkness of The night, with
but the loss of one warrior, who was
found dead by the Caippewas, in the
morniug,o on The south bank Of the stream.
Tho Sioux left behind them 80 horses in
addition to the IL stolen ones, aud the
dead bodies of three Of their airiors.
Mr.. McFetridge states that the resi-
deuce of Gov. Wilkie resembed slaugh-
err house on the morning after the con-
flict. Five Chippewas and two Sioux
were lying dead on the floor, which was
covered with their blood. The Sioux
did not scalp the dead Chippewas in the
house, nor mutilate their bodies. The
Chippewas were more brrtel: they cut
up the bodies Of thor dead foes, and
burned them.-S. Paul Pioneer.
