in to-day, from whom I get the following
particulars of the outbreak of the sur.
rendered hostile Indians, on the 9th.
About noon, as some Of the prisoners were
being ironed preparatory for their re.
moval to Fort Leayenworth, one Of them
broke away and ran. He was fired at by.
the guard and shot. A good deal of ex-

during the ironing Of the prisoners, and
when the hostile prisoner was shot sever
