4 Successful Fight with the AborigineS
in Wyoming Territory.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The War
Department has received a report Of the
expedition under the command of A. E.
Bates, which left Camp Brown, Wyoming
Territory, on July /, for the purpose of
furnishing the Indians who had been COM
mitting depredations in that and the neigh
boring valleys. After several DAYS march
ing, he reached the Indian village at Owl
Greek Mountains, which consisted of 112
lodges placed in deep ravine The In
dians opened a sharp fire on the troops as
they approached, but without damage. The
troops quickly drove them down through
a gulley where they were crowded so close
y together, near the lower end that the
troops had splendid chance at them, and
counted, afterwards, seventeen dead in one
pile. In about twenty minutes, or half an
hour at the f,rthest, there was not an In
dian in the village excepting the dead and
numbers Of children who We're left in the
lodges
The Indians who escaped had reached
the rocks above, where they opened very
telling fire on the troops, killing two men
and wounding three in few minutes. The
result Of the fight was twenty-five Indians
known to be killed, and with the usual pro-
portion of four wounded to one killed. OF
the killed seventeen were counted in one
part Of the village The others were left.
part in the village and part on the side of
the bluff. Had the Shoshones who accom-
panied the expedition kept quiet in the first
instance and given the commander an op-
portunlty to reconnoitre the ground
thoroughly, so as take possessions of the
commanding points, or had they followed
Lieutenant Young, who received orders
correctly, and attempted to lead them to
the attack, Captain Bates would have been
able to report the most complete victory,
for the captain thinks not half a dozen
would have escaped, but owing to the bad
conduct of his Indian allies first, and
cowardice afterward, he thinks the troops
achieved only about one-half as much as
was intended. To sum up the actions of
these Shoshone Indians, they betrayed the
troops first and deserted them in the fight
Some of them however, behaved well.

THE "Mollie Maguires' appear to have
broken loose again in Luzerne county, and a
vigilance is seriously spoken of as the proper
remedy for the evil. An nattempted assassina-
ton at Dickson, and bold attempt to muir
der mine boss in Jermyn, in which the boss
was seriously shot and one of the would-be
murders killed out right and another woun-
ded are among the doings of the "Mollies"
recorded in the Scranton papers as happen
ing last week. Hanging for murder being
almost impossible in that county, we do not
know but that vigilant action on the part of
vigilance committees would be just tie

what we heard and Saw within
the week.

Why should the spirit of mortal be
proud" when angels condescend to air
themselves in friend Hoods express wagon.
Perhaps the reader would like to know how
it happened. 1t was thusly: some gentle
men friends, cousins we believe, had been
visiting them and after they had taken their
departure last Friday noon, the "angels
suddenly came to the conclusion that they
would like to give them one more long and
afectionate embrace ere the train took its
departure from the depot. But how could
they get there? That was the ''sticker." {"
The street Car had gone over and the only
''ghost Of a chance was to secure the
services of Harry Wolf and friend Hood 5
horse and wagon standing in front of his
establishment In sweet and pitiful tones
they implored the use offriend Hoods rig
to bear them on their errand Of love. Friend
Hood not wishing to be black balled
above, acceded to their pitiful appeals; aye,
more, he furnished driver and induced our
handsome and accomplished Sheriff to accom-
pany them in order to protect them IN case
worldly chaps" should mistake them for
''lamhs wandering from their fold. Of
they started at break-neck pace, We
won't mention any names, but Miss H, IN
her eagerness to reach the depot, would
every now and then reach out over the dash
board and patting the horse on the end near
est to her, urge him to greater speed. Miss
H., thought the case almost hopeless, but if
there was any possible show for them to
reach the depot in time, she was bound to do
it. When coming in sight of the depot, a
smile Of contentment passed over the hitherto
wild, and excited countenance of Miss H.,
for the train was still there. As they drove
up to the platform she arose from her seat
only to fall back into the arms of-her COM
panions. Seeing they had arrived in time to
see their dear friends before the iron horse
bore them from their gaze, they jumped from
the wagon. With dishevelled hair and wings
dropping by their SIDE they rushed into the
depot and then such q meeting. We draw
the veil over the same Their friends thought
they had suddenly dropped from the blue
empyrean above, but they soon saw it was a
reality. They exchange kind greetings,
whisper few sweet words, the whistle blows,
the bell rings, and they are off, but the
angels have accomplished their purpose and
they return to their temporary abode in
Sroudsburg. 1t is true however, that many
did mistake them for angels" for in THEN
hurry to start they forgot to remove the
christian Advocate" that was partly covered
with their auburn locks in process of ''crimp
ing much resembling young wings" But
they accomplished their purpose, are happy,
and so are we. Remember dear angels, y
so. c." didn't see you as you supposed
