ST. PAUL, Oct. 1o.-The concluding
part Of Terry's dispatch covering Miles
report of the engagement, has just come
to hand and is as, follows: To keep the
companies with him, another escort was
provided. This last escort will now be
used to convey a train ofwagons which
will leave in the morning for Snake creek
with supplies. I have assumed the res
possibility Of notifying Col. Mcleod.
commander of the Canadian police, of
the situation and inviting his attention to
the Importance of preventing

but was exchanged by Miles for 1t. Je-

captured by the Indians. His story needs
confirmation. .zg..., -
