soldiers gave them the benefit OF the
howitzer's contents, fired and loaded
again. and after the second fire the ser.
geant threw the gun from the trunions
and died beside the dismantled piece,
The other sergeant was wounded, but,
with the four men, escaped to the COM
mand. The Indians dared not charge
upon the position.
White Bird was plainly heard and
seen en6eavoring to animate the In-
dians to charge upon the command but
in vain. He could not bring them to it,
Gibbons command to his men was not
to expose themselves and save their am
munitiOn. The sharpshooting was ex-
cellent, and whenever an Indian ex.
posed himself he got it, while they
retorted in skilful style. The Indians
circled all around Gen. Gibbon' s posi-
tion, posted their sharpshooters in the
woods above him and at every available
point, to pick off the men. They would
raise their fiercest war cry and advance
upon the fortified, party until they
would come within range OF the SOL
diers' rifles, when they would halt.
Gen. Gibbon, seeing large band Of
Indians going in the direction of his
supply train, feared it might be cap
tured. Kirkendall, who had charge of
the train. fortified and made such for
midable show with his little squad that
the small band of Indians who went
back on the trail dared not attack him.
They were too much occupied with Glib
bon to spare any large number. The
fight kept up until dark, the indians IN
the mean time moving their lodges and
gathering up their wounded and such
of the dead as were not covered by Glib.
bon's rifles, and when night came on
the scene, leaving a few strSgglers to
keep up the rear, retreated in south
westerly direction. .....
Many remarkable incidents occurred. :.
1t was. after the first regular onset, an
| individual fight. Gen. Gibbon used his
rifle like the rest, and officers and SOL
diers fighting shoulder to shoulder, with
rides in their hands. Men were giving
each other warning Of Indians aiming
at them, and shooting Indians who
were aiming at their comrades. SOL
diers and citizens were mixed together.
Sergeant Wilson does not remember to
have heard any command save the or.
der Of Gen. Gibbon, which was, "Boys,,
don't waste your ammuuition," The
Indians used every device to draw the
soldiers fire and use up their ammunl-
tion. A half breed boy in GibbUn "a
camp heard a chief call to his men to
charge that the white mans ammuni-
tiOn was almost gone. -J
AS an incident of the fight, a man
raised an Indian blanket high in the
afr. When a dozen bullets struck the
ground and brush around him, he quiet'
ly remarked, "Boys, this is not good
place TO fly kite"
Gen, ,Glbbon had marched his infantry
over 200 miles from Fort Shaw, and left
everything behind. He now sent out
for aid for the wounded. Gen. Howard
was notified, who rapidly pushed for
ward with his scouts, and reached Glib
bon on Saturday. The Warm Spring
Indians with Howard, on arriving in
sight Of the field, set up howl, and be-
gan to scalp the Nez Perces. The Nez
Perces did not scalp or mutilate the
dead who fell in the charge on the
camp.

The belle of ball In Washington,

each of whom wanted to dance with her
to the exclusion of all the others. Two

"A comely matron OF the village Pu-

"A Philadelphia, spirituallstic per-
