scarcely possible to describe the scene
of confusion, that followed, or the suffer.

The fire consumed sixty tepees, aud
burned over sixty of the Indians, besides
many Of their ponies. Nine Indians
have died, and there is band of forty
tepees out on the prsiries that have not
been heard from since the fire. Most OF
the badly burned, also the ponies, were
left with this band, Their provisions
and blankets, in many cases. were en-
tirely consumed, and their sufferings in
consequence are great. 1l n,lf
