Supply Train Attacked.

From Mr.. d. F. McMillen. who arrived
from Tongue river on Tuesday, we learn
that while en- route he heard heavy firing
about twenty-five miles northwest of POM
pey's Pillar. near the west end of Bull
Mountain. He believes the firing was
caused by an attack on Sturgis' supply
train. which was campcd at Pompey's Pill
lar the day before, and had pulled out on
the evening the same day. The firing was
heard about 10 O'Clock on the morning of
the 10Th inst. and during the remainder of
that day. The train had guard of 100
men. and two pieces of artillery. 1t is I'M
known as to what Indians made the attack.
rs the Nez Perces We're at that time sup
posed to be in the vicinity of Judith Gap.
MIR. NJ. also says the Second Cavaly was at
Tongue river when he left. and that Miles !.
vas making ready to move northward:
