The Montana post., 1869-04-16

INDIANs.-Two men came into Trin>
ity City and informed the people of that
place that rs they were travelling along The
foot of the mountains that skirt the depres-
zion of the Judith basin, they saw, encsmPed
IN n little sag, Eve men, who were preparing
their evening meal. while upon the hills be-
yond were some fifteen Blackseet Iniians,
who were evidently upon the trail of the
Eve travellers Almost as soon rs these two
men caught sight of the Indians they in turn
were discovered by the latter, party of
whom, detaching themselves from the main
body, started in pursuit, consequently they
were compelled to dee up into the mountains
and by devious ways reach a settlement.
This party of Eve were Capt. Whetsone's
party, who were on their way to the Muscle
shell, and were at that time making for the
Black Butte. 1t will be impossible TO tell
until the boats arrive, whether or not they
reached their Destination in safety, but the
probability il that Ia :he hour of night that
blood-thirsty band of Blackfeet stole upon
them, and their scalped, mutilated forms
alone will tell the terrible story of their de-
struction.
MERcHANDIsE.-1he entire day was
occupied in unloading the cOmmissary stores,
consisting of -four, bacon and bareback,
which are to be sold ht one o'clock p. m, to-
day, at the Office of Diamond r. train. All
our merchants who desire some good bargains
will be op hard.

STARTLING RUMoR.-we learned from
private sources, late last night. that a band of
Indians had descended into Whites Gulch and
stole a large number Of horses, and killed two
or three men, besides wouniiDs others. Our

lOuged to OF whence they came. We eshall
learn further to-day.
