Oncial Report Of the Raid on Fort Ellis-rwo
Men Killed and Forty Horses Solicitations

WASHINGTON, August 8, 1871
Superintendent Wall has presented to the Indian
Bureau the details OF the Indian raid the 25tn OF
July. the fact OF which he announced by
telegraph some days ago. He says the
Geographic statement of the loss OF pro.
perry is exaggerated; bur he is sorry to
say that two men were killed. The
number or horses stolen VIII not exceed
forty. The men killed We're named Nlsare ana

not scalped, which goes to show that this party OF
Indians was stealing party and not regular war

TINS II Is generally believed that IL was party of
Sioux on a stealing expedition. Colonel Balen,
commanding Fort Ellis, is quite positive that 1t
was a band or Sioux belonging TO the Jelou tribe
under Chief "Sitting Bull" The main camp is between
Fort Peck and the Yellow Stone River, and they
range over that country, extending as far as the
Musse shell River the east, and often wander as
far north as the Milk River country. Superin-
tendent Wall again called the attention OF the De-
partment TO the necessity OF feeding these INDIANS,
ano says 1t Is his firm belief, rom the satisfactory
result OF feeding the Santee Sioux at Milk River
that these Indians under Sitting Bun can be man

hLLl OF A sCAFPoLD-.FIyE MRN
IIURT.A Yesterday morning ehout 10
o'clock, a gang OF brlcklayers at work on
the casting house walls Of Messrs Dewey,
Vance & Co.'S new furnace above Ben
wood, met witha serious mlshap by the
breaking down Of the sCafTold on which
they were standing. From their employ
or, Mr.. Jacobs Hull, we obtained the fol.
lowing particulars: aEg.- g.n 4.
The seatfold had been put up the day
before by Mr.. II. himself, and was thought
to bc perfectly safe. ItlhHd been brought
into use the preceding evening, and show.
ed no signs oi giving way. Yesterday
morning the men went 10 work us usual,
and had been engaged an hour or two
when section Of The scatfoldibg, about
twenty feet long, fell, carrying down with
It Messrs. Britain Falloure, Francis
Britt, Andrew Grass, John Kenlinc, and
Allen Chesley. All Of them were
more or less injured. Mr.. Falloure had
one of btslegs broken ID two places, and
sustained severe injuries about the head,
It believed When taken from the ru.
ms lie was thought TO DO dead, dhJ ht ii
late hour last night he was still ,dpCon.
sCious. Mr.. Britt WIS mol seriously hurt.
Ills head shows several Commissions, but
not Of such character rs tpBxCitG alarm.
Ele complained lastd evening ol feeling
considerable pain In iihG 81 his hips.
Mr. Grass had his head cut and was
slightly injured In the chest. Messrs.
Kenline and Chesley escaped with slight
bruises, aud will soon be able to re-.
sumo work. .g
Tie unfortunate men were all brought
to the city, except Chrsley, (gho boarded
at house in the vicinity and received
proper medical attention. Kenline after
having his wounds dressed WINS sent to
his home in bridgeport. A surgeon was
SiSntched to care for Chesley's injuries
Nothing was lift undone that would min.

An IMPORTANT AGREENEET.-We
were told, yesterday, that an agreement
had been concluded between the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad company and the
authorities of the Citizens Street railway.
The city, also, is a party to the con-
tract as we learn, and meeting Of Coun-
Gil has been called tor tomorrow even
ing to ratily or reject the action of its
representatives in the premises. We did
not see the paper drawn up by the singh
contracting powers" but we hear that
its general provisions are substantially as
follows The Baltimore & Ohio company
agree to take up the street railway track
from the intersection OF Biddle and Main
streets, 10 that of John and Market, and
to put it down along Market to Biddle,
and thence to Main, the place Of begin
ming. They agree, also, to restore the
paving on Main and John as it was before
the track was laid along them; further,
to pave Market, from John TO the north
end Of the bridge, and from the south end
to Webster. This will relieve the city
from the expense of making the improve
ment we referred to morning or two
ago, as the company is to pave the entire
width of the street.
The Street Railway Company agrees
to the change in their route on the terms
proposed. Their line will therefore be con
tinIed on Market street over the new
bridge, thence to Biddle and down that
to Main. 1t il believed that while the
change will prove disadvantage to
those residing along that portion Of Main
street from which. the track will be re-
moved, 1t will accommodate y greater
number on the new route, and be much
more easy 10 work. The sharp curves
and grade to cross the stone bridge will be
avoided, and the distance will probably
DO shortened somewhat, ...,.5
If our information Is correct, the city
was made party 10 the contract because
change in the Ordinance granting the
right of way up John street to tho Balti-
more & Ohio Company would be necessa'
ny, By the terms Of the present Ordi'
l
nance, ION the supposition stated above)
the Baltimore u Ohio railroad company Is
confined to the south side Of the street
mentioned, and II Is in consideration of
the use of the centre of said street Tor
their track that they agree to do whatwe
have rected. The change Of the street
railway track will place them beyond the
possibility Of conflict with the local com
pany, and remove the liability to accident
resulting from the working Of two lines Of
road on the same street. BY permitting
the track to occupy the centre of the
street, there will be room for the passage
of vehicles ON either side while, if they
were confined TO one or the other, this
would not be the case. Taken altogether,
we believe all parties will be benefited,
and we have no doubt our city authori-
ties will promptly ratify the agre ement
made by their representatives. ti.
