British soil. The establishment Q:
the boundary line has since proved
that the fight took place upon
foreign ground, but it is doubtful
whether any person could thenhave
told whether the soil belonged to
the United States or Canada. But
had we been similarly situated in
the heart of England itself, it is
difficult to understand how we
could have acted otherwise than
We did. The law of self preserva.
ton is the same Ill all countries and
under all flags.
We went to the camp for the pur-
pose of assisting a neighbor in the
peaceable recovery of his horse.
We had no other object in going
there, our own property was not
in the camp, and we could nave no
motive in commencing the fight.
Four or five shots were fired at us
before we pulled trigger, and
then the odds we're so much against
us, that we acted only on the de-
fensIye, until one Of our little party
was killed, when through sheer des-
p0ruti0n "0 changed from the de-
fensiye to the attack and routed
the whole five or six hundred war
riors, killing some thirty or forty.
And for thus successfully defend
ing our lives, we are charged with
the crime of murder, to be brought
before a tribunal, and perhaps
handed over to the tender mercies
Of the Canadian government, who
will gladly convict US upon the pur-
chased evidence Of a cowardly in
former"
Without commenting upon the
right Of about dozen men-Whom
an officer Of high rank in the =.
5. Army designated in his ac-
count of the a1,ir to an Eastern
journal as the thirteen Kit Car
sons to defend their lives against
half thousand blood thirsty
brutes, we would ask, what effect
would the punishment of these men
have upon the Indians themselves?
The affair at Cypress Mountains
taught the AssInaboins the same
lesson that the Piegans received
from Col. Baker, and the method
Of instruction was far more credit
able to the teachers. The tribe
has since remained IN mortal terror
Of the whites, never daring to meet
them in open eofiet, no matter
what advantages they might have;
and their depredations, compared
with those Of former years have
been few and confined to pilfering
and the murder Of unarmed men.
But should these accused men

bravery every settler IN this region

were ours. One of the men re.
turned to US, the other proceeded
to FarWells post and remained I'm.
til We arrived there the following
morning. Sick and disappointed
at not having obtained our horses
and tired after a long days ride:
We laid down to sleep after ex.
changing news, &c.
About four o'clock We were
awakened by Farwell, who came
to US with his gun in his hand, ap-
parently greatly excited. He asked
US to assist him in negotiating for
the recovery of his horse which the
Indians had stolen during the night.
We consented to aid him, and fol-
lowing him proceeded to the In
dian camp. On our arrival, the
Indians at once assumed a hostile
attitude and refused to give up the
horses, saying that if we did not
leave, they would wipe US out.
To retreat under the circumstances
would simply have been destruction
to the whole party. If we had
even displayed the foaet sign Of foor,
any one acquainted with the In
dian nature will admit that our
chances for escape would have been
small. FarWell advised us to keep
quiet, saying that he would en-
deavor to induce them to listen to
reason. Knowing that We were
not willing to- have any difficulty
with the Indians and that we were
consulting on the best method Of
treating, if possible, Farwell stroye
hard to quiet the Indians. 1t was
Of no avail, and after several at
tempts were made to open fire on
US, Farwell, under pretense Of 60
ing for his interpreter, leftus to our
fate. When the Indians saw Far
well leave they became convinced
that we were afraid, and could be
easily overcome. The moment
FarWeH was out Of sight they
opened fire on US against the
wishes, as we afterwards learned.
