ST. PAUL, August Z. - A Bismarck
special of to-day to the Pioneer, Press
and Tribune says that the steamer Car
roll arrived this morning from General
Terry's camp, having on board General
Forsyth and twenty sick and wounded
soldiers. The Carroll, on her way up,
when near the mouth of the Powder
River, found Indians on both sides of the
river. and for two hours and half they
Kept up running fire on the boat, only
wounding, however, one soldier slightly.
The steamer Far West, after leaving
Buford for Terry's camp. found her load
too heavy and discharged part of her car
go, principally grain, about seventy miles
from Buford, On her return for the bal
ance of the cargo, the Indians were
found to have destroyed most of the
grain. and at this point the Indians at
tackled the Far West. She had on board
ooionel Moore with three companies of
soldiers. The Indians stood on both
nj rtrv
the Colonel with his troops to leave the
boat and land. A few shells were fired
from twelve-pounder. which scattered
the Indians, and they disappeared from
the south bank. Dave Campbell, pilot
of the Far West and two scouts then
landed and went out to reconnotre. but
found that the Indians were endeavorpg
to cut him off from the boat. Then be.
gan an exciting race for the boat. The
horse OF one scout Jagged and was shot,
and his rider was sfterward killed by the
same Sioux. Campbell and his compan.
ion turned to rescue him from the scalp
ing knife, which they did by killing the
Indian. Finally Grant Marsh, Captain
OF the Far West, with fifteen soldiers,
despite the orders of Colonel Moore went
to the assistance of the party. Moore
threatened to court martial these men
but did not do 80. His conduct is de-
nounced as cowardly. General Terry
has fallen back 50 miles from his camp
on the Big Horn, and is now near the
mouth OF the Rosebud. Prairie fires en-
velope the surrounding country for miles
and Terry finds grazing scarce. A scout
from General Crook got through on An
gust End in destitute condition. Crook
was seventy-fve miles away then, and
the Indians were harrassing him as he
attempted to reach Terry. The Indians
picked off his men, stole his stock, and
kept his march down to about six miles
per day. The men in both commands
are reported much disheartened. The
Yellowstone is falling rapidly.
