From Washington

WASHINGTON, June A.
Information has just been received here,
showing that in a fight which recently took
place in Utah, between the California Volun-
teers and party of Indians, at settlement
called Battle Creek, the Mormons assisted the
Indians, one Of their number, a man named
Patten, bringing the Indians into the town
and showing them the whereabouts of the
volunteers, who were only in small force, not
expecting an attack. After the attack was
made the Mormons gathered together to en-
joy the sport, over 200 looking quietly on in a
contest where the Indians outnumbered the
volunteers ten to one. Fortunately the ar
rival of reinforcements saved them from mas
sacre, though for three hours they kept up the
unequal contest.
