last a Government train, consisting
of thirty six muled teams loaded
with army supplies for Fort Lyon,
was proceeding along Dry Creek,
between Carson City and Fort Lyon,
Colorado, under the command of
Steve Bryan. wagon-master, and
while in the valley of Dry Creek the
train Was mired in the sand. While
thus detained a band of 800 Arrapa-
hoe woIriors. under the command of
their chief, Little Raven, made an
attack which equals in outrage and
ferocity any annals of Indian massa.
ere The wagons were burned, and
all the contents that could be crricd
OF were taken; the mules were rur
of, and fifteen men belonging to the
train were wounded OF dead on the
bloody field. NIr. Bryan was skinned
alive from head to foot by the sava-
ges. Besides these, fifteen men were
missing. They are supposed to have
been carried into captivity. The
train was under escort of Lieutenant
Mcfarland, of the Sixth United
States Cavalry, with 100 men, but
being nine miles in the rear at the
time Of the massacre no protection
could be afforded. Mr.. Stanley was
with the escort, and When It arrived
