HELENA, Montana, Aug. l3-Gibbon's
command came up within six miles Of
the Indian camp on the 9Th. On the Sth
Lieut.. Bradley aud his party managed to
get close enough to the camp to observe
the Indians. and in the middle of the
night this force passed within mile or so
of the Indian camp, when Gen. Gibbon.
with the main body, joined them. A
short while after one of the lieutcnants
crawlcd down and reconnoitered the In
dian position. The central camp was To-

fringed with willows and the lodges pitched
on the south side. GibbOn came up on
the north side. His force was formed

presence of the whites, but rode so close
to Bradley's command that the lieutenant
saw they would be discovered, and it was
no time to take chances. So they opened
fire on the Indian. killing him and his
horse. After firing they instantly started
for the Indian camp. On arriving at the
willows that lined the stream, an Indian
rose up and fired at Lieutenant Bradley,
killing him on the spot. The Indian was
riddled with bullets. Before
arriving ut the willows, Gibbon had eau
toned Bradley to be careful about enter

to him, Hold OH, lieutenant; don't go

the soldiers.

the Indian camp before the Indians had
time to escape from fheir lodges. The
attack was complete success, but these
shots had aroused the Indians. who were
sleeping on their arms and watchful.
Still the suddenness of the attack surprised
them. The Indians rushed out in the
widest confusion; the men with guns,
the boys with knives and squaws with
pistols, all fighting desperately. The In
dams were well armed and had plenty of

and under the direction of Gibbon the
men moved toward a wooded point. about
