sIOUX-POSCAs FIGHT.

A Squaw Fakes the scalp Of a Brave.
From t., siuur City Journ,', ostpoer lsI
Bypassenyers from Yaukton last evening
We have later adviccs Of the fight between
the Sioux and Ponca., at Ponca agency.
There was no cessation Of hostilitles up to
yesterday morning, and the prospect was
that the fight would ontlnue until the arrival
Of the military, which Is now en- route from
Randall, the nearest post, to the scene OF
conflict. The Sioux number about 900
warriors, while tho Poncas can muster only
about 65 braves, but the discrepancy Is some
what balanced by the Poncas being entrenched
In their agency buildings. There are con.
ticting reports concerning the number killed,
but the lowest estimate places the number ut
twenty.
We hear one instance OF the fight which Is
worthy of mention. A Sioux brave had
gained the shelter Of one of the buildings
from which position he was enabled to flrc ut
his foes from short range. While he was
standing Just at the corner OF the building
loading his gun Ponca sguaw rushed from
the house, and, before the Sioux could defend
himself, gave him slashing cut across the
abdomen with huge knife, literally embow-
cling him. As she struck him the Sioux In
voluntarily bent forward, clasping his abdo-
men with both hands, and Just at that instant
the sqaaw grabbed him by the hair, and, with
savage stroke Of the knife, scalped him.
Shaking her CORY trophy aloft, and giving q
shrill cry Of defiance, she darted back into
the building In safety, followed by a dozen
rife balls from as many Sioux, who from
distance saw the result OF the sortie.
The effect was perfectly maddeping upon
the Sioux, for TO have one of their warriors
scalped by q squaw was a disgrace which
could only be Wiped out by the blood Of tho
entire accursed band Of Poncas. They rushed
for the building, but were met by fire which
laid several OF them low, and 80 cooled the
ardor OF the rest that they retired to safe
distance, without having injured their foes.
The act OF the squaw seemed TO Inspire the
Poncas, aud, Haunting from window the
scalp OF the unfortunate Sioux, they uttered
yells Of derislon and contempt which nearly
drove the Sioux frantic. Further intRlll-
gence from the scene Of conflict Ia awaited
with snxiety.
