Mr McFctiidge describes tho scene us
terribly exciting aud relates instances OF
great individual bravery. One Chippewa,
n SON OF the chief, Bed Bear was shot
three times in an eDdcuyor TO enter the
house; at each shot lac fell to tho ground,
but raised himself and pushed forward /,
hi. progress was stopped at the threshold
hy one Of the Sioux cleaviug his head
through 70 the chin with an axe.
! Tho house occupied by tho Sioux is
about two hundred feet from the river.
The Chippewas surrounded it, 0nd to
make their escape the Sioux were com-
PEELED to run that distance, and wade the
river to the south bank, in the face of a
constant iire from their ouomics. This
they did, aided by The darkness Of tho
nicht. with but the loss o. one warrior,
who was found dead 10y the CAippewas in
the morning, on the south bank Of the
stream. The Sioux left behind them
Ilhirty-two horses, in addition to the
twelve stolen ones, and the dead bodies q
three Of THEN warriors.
Mr.. NcFetidge states that the resi-
dence Of Gov. Wi!kie reseuiJed a slaught
ar house, on the morning after the coz
tlict Five Chippewas and two Sioux were
lying dee 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 Chippe
was were more brutal; they cut up the
bodies Of their dead foes, am burned
them.
Although the half breeds of St. Joseph
relraned from taking any part in the fight
4 they are apprehensiye Of an attack from
body OF Sioux, now encamped at Devil
Lake. The Sioux promised toreturn, ano
settle accounts with the Chippewas, il
numbers like the mosquiloes-a very for
chile simile in that locality.
Congress appropriated, year or NOR

here related indicates the necessity Of i'm
mediate action on the part Of the Fedora
Government. There should be perma
nent military post located at st. Joseph
or in that vicinity, immediately.
