From the Boise Statesman extra, we have tn q
following additional particulars relating to this
sad tragedy!
BoIsH CIrT, Tuesday, G p, NJ, 26th.
Since the Statesman was iSssed this morning,
the full particulars of the Indian massacre of
Yesterday have come to hand, and they are of
the most heart-rending character. So far as can
be learned there were but eight Indians in all,
but they were well armed with both guns and
arrows Younger and Ullman were both killed,
also Frenchman named Buchee, of Silver City.
Our account of the terrible affair, this morning.
was entirely wrong in one respect that we got
the names of Bennett and Pomeroy trausposed !;
and there were ether eTrJrs. The three suryi-
vors, Bennett, Recheuberg and Pomeroy, all ar
rived this morning, from whom We get the facts
as follows: The attack was made about eleven
O'Clock in the forenoon yesterday, as the stage
was coming down the canyon near where the at
tack was made on the teamsters last fall. VIM.
Younger, the driver, was probably mortally
wounded at the first FIRE, his right shoulder and
arm being terribly lacerated, with great wound
in his right side. He dropped the reins, when
Pomeroy who was on the seat with him, took
them up and drove on rs fast as possible. Before
going far. however, it became apparent that
Younger could not remain on the seat, and they
stopped the team, when Bennett and ReichenH
berg got out and took Younger into the stage.
This halt gave the Indians time 10 oVertake the
stage again, so that they fred another volley at
the stage before it started As they started, Ben
nett asked to drive, as he was accustomed to
drive a stage team, but Pomeroy insisted that be
was a good driver and drove on, making very
good time at least sufficient to gaia upon the
Indians. The next misfortune that happened
was the breaking of the hold-back strap OF the
near wheeler, which soon threw the on horse
under the tongue. Ullman and POmeroy loosed
the leaders, when one of them got away from
Pomeroy and ran down toward the ferry. Pom
eroy said to Ullman, " Let me take this horse
and 60 and catch the other one" About this
moment the Indians came in sight again. Pom
eroy mounted the horse that Ullman had and
rode of to the ferry at full speed, the latter
following on foot. Bennett aud Reichenberg
had been meanwhile getting the wheel-horses
untangled With view to drive on with two ami
mails if possible. Six or seven minutes bad
been consumed since they stopped, and before
they could get hitched up again the Indians had
came within easy range and commenced firing.
There being no prospect of escaping with the
stage, Reichenberg started off on foot, while
Bennett mounted the horse that was loose to
leave, supposing that Younger was dead. But
Younger seeing Bennett mount, begged him not
to leave him, Bennett then helped Younger Out
Of the stage on the horse behind him, the Indiar,
firing all the while. That they were not both
killed seems a miracle. Bennett says he felt the
wind of several balls or slugs as they passed his
face, and Younger received one ball in the right
leg as be was getting on the horse Younger
soon became so faint that be could not hold on
to the horse, and begged to be left in the brush.
Bennett kept him on, however, until he got a
little out Of sight Of the Indians, and then left
him in a small ravine, few yards from the
road. The Indians did not find him sfter that.
Bennett now took Reichenberg on the horse with
him and began again TO make his escape. One
of the Indians had by this time cut the harness
of the horse that was left, and came down upon
them on the right the others following 9enind; ,c
Ullmap. by this time, had seereted himseH
among some rocks, but, seeing Bennet and hglcu- T
enberg come along, came out after tnem. .I3 iuS3
had no arms to make a fight, and tney I- eouiu
not all escape on one horse. So the Two Ioee
Of toward the ferry and Ullman started agaiu
for his hiding place; bnt it is presumed lns' "a
mounted Indian discovered him, as be was IVunu nS
dead near the place. Bennett and keieneno..s s'.-
made good their escape, arriving az tSe a1
some time after Pomeroy. A party OF go 49,
soon started back to rescue the men ieb Usua. "a
