ton extended to such officers ana ciSi-
zens as may attempt to execute the

Intercepted by a reporter as to what

thew were not at liberty to communicate
further than that they were received
kindly and that the interview was sat
isfactory as far as it went. There was
no definite conclusion reached. The

The acting Commissioner of Indian
Affairs this morning received a report
from Superintendent Wyncoop giving
an account of the difficulty which &C.
CURED on Sunday, August 9th, between
the soldiers at Fort Zera, in Arkansas,
and q party of Kiowa Indians. The dlf-
ficulty originated by two young klo-
was, who were intoxicated, riding
through q white mans camp in a disor-
DERBY manner, when they were fired on
and one of them seriously wounded. The
Indians reported to their band as hav-
ing been fred on, and the Kiowas went
to the fort in battle array, but the diff
Guilty was then prevented by the inter
ference of friendly Chief.
In the afternoon of the same day a
wagon-master arrived at the Fort, re-
porting that his train had been robbed
by the Kiowas. A detachment OF
troops was sent to the Kiowa camp, and
upon their arrival, the Indian women
and children jumped into the river to
swim to the opposite shore. The Indians
formed in line of battle, when the wag-
on-master, becoming frightened, con-
fessed that he had given the merchandise
to the Indians. This terminated the
appearance of hostilities, and, after
some talk, peace was arranged. Agent
Wynkoop reports these Indians rs gen.
orally disposed to be very friendly.
