the Indian Bureau this morning.
Crow Agency, Montana, Aug, 14th,
1875. Hon. E. p. Smith, Commits
sioner on Indian affairs. Sir: / have
the following additional items of the
Sioux depredations to report. On
the morning of July 21st the train of
Nelson was attacked bya small num-
ber of Sioux in Saltwater Valley about
six miles from the agency. Capt.
Dusold, Z. S. Detective was fired at
by two Indians from ambush at dis.
tance of about forty yards, but escaped
unhurt. The men of the train
pursued the Indians for some dis
tance and returned with their
saddles, clothing and trinkets which
they had stripped off for the fight.
They called to a half-breed Sioux who
was with the train that they were the
advance of large party and would give
us plenty of fight. The next morning
party came upon our herder, who was
with the stock one and half miles
from the Agency, drove him to the
brush and took his horse and 43 head
of cattle. Next day Capt. Dusold and
II men followed them for 20 miles to-
wards Clark's Ford. We recovered
none of the cattle and found eight
which they had killed. On the MORN
ing of the 22d another party attacked
two men who were herding our train
of cattle and killed one of them, Jas.
Hilderbrand, and his companion hid
himself behind some rocks and kept
the Indians off until help came from
camp. August lst some Indians way
laid two men who had been sent from
Old Agency to Yellowstone Crossing.
John Russ, half-breed, and a Crow
boy by adoption and who was in my
employ, were shot in the breast, but
will probpbly recover. Lieut.. Roe,
who has just arrived at Fort Ellis
from Judith basin, reports that Crow
chief Lone Horse has been killed
by the Sioux. A large amount of
stock has been stolen at Carrall
and at other places on Carrall road.
The most dangerous place in the
county seems to be on the road
from the old Agency to Bozaman.
This road is constantly watched by the
Sioux and Crow, and cannot be travel
ed with safety except by large par
ties. Messengers from the Crows in
dicate that they will soon come to the
Agency. They have lost by the Sioux
about 800 horses.
Very Respectfully,
]. T. CLAPP.

There is considerable excitement in
Brooklyn over the death by abortion,
as alleged, of Mrs. Emma Macy, wife
of Gustave Macy, the organ builder
Just before her death, which occurred
in the hospital last Saturday, she
made sworn statement duplicating
several persons, but the Coroner re-
fuses to give any particulars until the
inquest is held on Wednesday. This
morning DR.. Giroux, a physician in
good standing, was arrested and put
under $50 bail. Mrs. Macy. In her
anti mortem statement, implicated
him in the abortion. DIR. Giroux
claims that he was called in after the
abortion had been produced, and that
he used only proper medicines. 1t is
said that the abortion was produced
by the woman's parents, and without
the knowledge of her husband. She
had three children.
