dams about y O'Clock last Monday morning
as it was descending the caflon six mile
south Of Snake river. Vim. Younger wa
the driver, and there were four passengers
viz: Jas. Ullman, B. Reichenberg, Franz
Bennett, and F. G. Pomeroy. From the lat
ter gentlemen we received a statement of tn,
affair, but want of space will not permit i
all here. The Indians fred from behind rocks
about sixty yards to the right of the road
and seven balls entered the body and legs o
Younger, three SCATTERING his upper .righl
arm, at the instant. Pomeroy was seated BY
the driver, but was not hit. Thebreast strap
of the off wheel-horse broke soon after, while
Pomeroy was driving fapldIyto get the stage
away from the pursuing Indians, and after
going mile further, the team had TO be
pulled up by reason of the off wheel horse
dragging underIthe fore wheel. The Indians
here gained upon them, and then commenced
the race for life Zone of leaders got
away, and Pomeroy mounted the, other an
rode off for the ferry Bennett got one OF
the wheel horses loose, put Younger on, limp
and helpless, then mounted himself and like
wise made for the Snake river ferry. Reich
enberg and Ullman bad gone ahead on foot.
Soon Younger begged to be put down. Ben
nett bid him in the sage brush, where his
dead body was subsequently, found, then
took up Reichenberg, and rode on. Ullman
came out frombehindla rock, and Begged to
be taken along. 1t was impossible for the
horse to carry three, and an Indian on the
other wheel-horse was close behind, in chase,
with Q 6relarm.a On reaching Fruits ferry
the escaped passengers gave the alarm, and
soon seven men, we'll armed, started for the
seene.l They found the body of Ullman yet
warm, but life had fed, The Indians had.
taken his coat, boots and one sock. His
right shoulder was frightfnlly shattered, and
his breast pierced with bullets. It was evil
ientihat thesasages had not found Koungers
body. He had died in the spot were Bennett
eft him. The party were informed by a.
passing horseman sofEanother dead body in
he road, about two miles, further up the
.aiiOn. On proceeding there, they found the
ret warm remains Of man recognized as
3uchee, a Frenchman, formerly of Center
lille, who had clearly been shot down while
coming on afoOt, by the Indians on their re-
urn from the stage attack. The upper work
# the stage was all torn away, but the rum
ling gear, body and seats were uninjurec
Che three dead bodies were taken care Of,
hat of Buchee's was buried on the bank of
snake river, and those of Younger and UlI-
pan taken on that night to Boise City, where
espectable burial was given to each on
Wednesday. The only weapon among all on
be stage was six-shooter which lay behind
Younger on theseat. A Henry or a Sharp's
life might have prevented the attack, or
aved Ullman's life. Younger was much es-
eemed by his brother drivers and all. Others
Tho knew him. iUllman formerly lived in
his city. Both were in the full yigor of life.
Only eight Indians were seen, but there
night have been more. The morning was
cry cold, yet they wore only breech cloth
nd bandage about the head. They deliv-
red the first yolley from behind the rocks

Great praise is due to the braveimen Who'll
tarted from the ferry TO rescue or relieve
be unfortunate two left behind. But it is
oped1 that theAproper authorities will take
ure means to preventive recurrence of these
indian attacks. and murders. Gen. Halleck
J the man to do so.
