A Ten.hours' Fight With the Indians.

Mr.. G. Robert Armstrong writes to
his father, in this city, says the Omaha
Bee, under date of Fort Laramie, Nav
., as follows;
II arrived here last evening, having
been eight days on the road from Gus
ter. On the second day out we had
ten-hours' fight with the Indians. They
attacked US about 10 o'clock a. m. with
ia - miles of Indian Creek, some five
miles from the place where Mr.. Brown
Vas killed. When attacked we punched
our wagons until we could get out
skirmish lines, when we proceeded on
OR Journey, lodging bullets, while the
skirmishers Kept them of the train. No
onewas hurt, and we only suffered the
loss of two horses and wagon and its
contents, belonging TO some colored
men. When the firing ceased we reor-
ganized by electing a Mr.. Gym as cap
tain. He was the owner of an OK train,
and we supposed he would exercise
good. Judgment, rs he professed to have
had much experience with the Indians.
After organizing we rolled out again,
keeping a strong skirmish line out.
Five miles on we came upon train
thas. had been punched six hours
waiting for assistance. They turned
back with Us, intending to encamp and
remain until Others came up going their
way. Luckily a train came along that
night, but before it reached us we had
another very desperate fight This
captain that knew so much, selected
camping ground in very low hollow
or basin. We had scarcely got unhar-
messed before the. Indians, who had
congregated on the surrounding hills,
opened fire. There we were, with
plenty of arms and ammunition, but
defenseless, as we could only see the
heads of the savagcs as they took aim
at us. 1t would be useless 10 attempt
TO retreat with the teams, while the bull
lets fell thick and fast around us. We
saw that something desperate had TO
be done, and that was TO charge upon
the enemy and drive them of until we
could occupy higher ground. Six of US
mounted horses, and, rushing to the
bluffs, gave the Indians the grand
bounce when they retreated, and we
SOON hooked. up tie animals that were
not killed or wounded, and reached
higher ground, dug rife pits, and put
out pickets.i But we had no further
trouble. The fight lasted 10 hours from
the first attack. Loss: two horses and
wagon stelen; 10 head of stock stolen;
four head killed; one man wounded in
tho heel "A number of the men had
their clothes cutwith bullets"

ORIGIN OF THE BAuNscHErDr CURE.

Twas on a pleasant day, some IF
teen years ago, that an architect by
the name of Baunseheidt was sitting
near an open window in his house, in
the little village Of Endenich, on the
Kreuzberg, near Bonn. The gout in
his arm ceased its twinges for while,
and he fell asleep. When he woke
up il was 20 find that cloud ofgnats
had settled on the exposed limb. He
brushed them away, and that was the
end Of the matter until few hours
afterward an eruption appeared, which
after some time disappeared, and with
it the whole, or part, Of the pain
from which Mr.. b. had been suffering.
Our gouty architect, being of an in
vestigating turn of mind, set himself
to work to discover, if might be, tho
connection between the gnats and the
cure, and the result was a small and
curious instrument somewhat resem-
bling an air.gun, by means Of which
twenty. four needles are shot into the
skin of the patient, after which the
oil of ants is applied, an. eruption
takes place and he is cured, according
to the inventor, of pretty much any
one of the usual mortal ailments,
