longing to ''se:ting Bulls" band, who wal
reported to DO ON the other side Of tn,
river with about $50 warriors. Tht
guard discovered the attacking party and
fred, and tho fire was returned. The
camp was aroused and = full volley given,
when the red devils scattered. Immediate.
ly after the first attack was over, the ex-
plorers went to work and put their camp
on war footing. They were soon ready
