ANOTHER INDIAN FIGHT.

NEW YORK, Ang. "a dispatch dated Read
quarters in the field, Wichita Agency, via Caddo,
Aug. 25th says Gen. J. W. Davidson, command
ing ut Fort SILL ref eived information last even
I'M, from Col. Gaines Lawson, commanding
comp my at this Agency, that the Ozone and a
hostile band, numbering between sixty and
seventy lodges, had come into the Wichita
Agency, and as the Instructions are that
any Indians found outside OF their reser
walton should be arrested, dlsarmed, and
held for punishment, General Davidson
determined Immediately, in obedience to higher
orders, to proceed to this point with companies
G, E, H, and l. Of the 10th Cavalry, and starting
at 3 o'clock last evening, made forced march Of
thirty miles, arriving at about IL o'clock this
morning. The troops to the number Of about
two hundred and fifty were drawn up in line Of
river bank of the Wichita, and the Ozone Chiefs
were at once cited. No one but Big Red Fox
answered for his tribes.
Gen. Davidson addressed him, telling him he
wanted him to surrender all his arms and horses
and go with him back to Fort Sill, where they
properly belonged. All he had to say to him
now was to ask him what his determination
would be, and it must be given at once. II he
acqniesced III this, well and good; il not, why.
then, he would have to fight, and he must pre-
pare for it forthwith.
The Chief replied: "Wen, viii do what YOU
want" This was supposed to end everything
amcably and satisfactorily, and every one felt
happy and cougratulatory, and the soldiers scat
tered themselves about lelsurely, awaiting the
arrival of the reds. when all of a sudden there
was excitement almost instantly it was found
that the Indians far from keeping their promise,
had inaugurated war and bloodshed.
The troops wheeled INTO line, the company in
Big Red Foxes tents, returning the ire OF the
Indians with rapidity from their Springfield
breech leaders. Meanwhile receiving a heavy
fire in the opened on them by a lot OF SYM
pathizing Kiowas and Comanches, which was
very hot and rapid. Three soldiers were badly
wounded and number are also reported slightly
wounded. -Four citizens were killed near the
agency.
The engagement commenced about II O'Clock
and lasted all day long. Mans Indians are said
sent for, and will arrive here in a few days, when
| a good deal OF fighting will undoubtedly be done.
Tomorrow may be a busy day for us, but the
Indians will doubtless be overcome. About 20O
of them under arms here. Considerable H.
dian property was destroyed.
The most significant thing is that while no IN
kind word was said OF the klowas and COmanches
here, when the fire was opened on the troops by
the Ocones, they were the first to commence fir
ing at the troops in the rear. Big Tree Rauble
Visions, Womans Heart and Lone Wolf are out
from their camps. The latter had the injustice to
send in to camp to make a treaty as the firing
commenced.
