FOREST CITY ATTACKED
Several Buildings Burned.
THE INDIANS STEALING CATTLE.


A. O. Smith, Esq, of Forest City, writes
to the Adjutant-G General, on the morning
of the 4th, as follows:
"This town was attacked this morning
about two O'Clock. -Four houses have been
burned, and one barn. The Indians retired
about five o'clock, driving off all the stock
they could. There must have been from
fifty to one hundred Indians engaged. Our
people were all in the Fort that has been
lately and hurriedly built. The buildings
burned we're so far from the stockade as to
be beyond the range of our guns. We think
we did some execution upon the savages
but don't know much about it. Two Of our
men are wounded-one probably mortally."
Captain Whitcomb writes that the build
ings belonged to A. B. Hoyt, James How.
lett, Milton Castor and A. G. Smith. The
two men wounded were Sergeant Branham
and Osly Elson-the latter, it is feared
MORALLY. They received their wounds in
an attempt to prevent the Indians from
driving away their cattle.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1862-09-12

saw large number of Indians following us
on horseback. My partner told me to put
whip, and we did. We made for Davton,
thinking it the best route. On the way we
met another party of Indians, ABOUT $50 10
number, who followed us as far as the Leaf
Mountains. We ran our horses twenty.six
miles, and, after reaching the wood, nv
horse dropped down. / took my partners
horse by the tail, and travelled on 10 that
way all night in northeast direction.
On the morning OF Monday, we made for
the road and travelled all day without see
ing any one. Towards sunset we arrived
at Pelican Lake, and rested When we
came to the grove surrounding the lake, we
met another band of about 100 Indians,
when we made for the ravines and travelled
all night. In the morning we came to a
grove between Pelican Lake and White
Bear, and concluded to remain there all day
and take rest, keeping close watch the
whole time. At sunset we started and took
the old river TRAIL and the next morning at
ten o'clock, we discovered large party of
Indians on bluff and we then took another
direction. and after travelling four miles we
concluded to hide until four O'Clock, when
we started again. Soon after we lost our
other horse, and then went on foot. Soon
after we shot skunk and devoured him,
which was the first food we had tasted for
two days. Soon after we met q gentleman,
who took as to Richmond.
When wo left the Fort the Indians had
taken all the cattle, amounting to 200 head,
and all the mules and horses. They also
took the treaty cattle. On Saturday, the
day before we left, twelve men went out to
bring in some stock. The Indians attacked
them, killing man named Bennett, and
captured four mules and wagon. Another
man was wOunded--did not learn the name.

charging Brigadier General q. N. Fitch
with having murdered in cold blood, two
