The Indian War in Idaho.

SAN Francisco, July 81
Press dispatches from Lewiston, 25th,
otG Dayton, say Lieut.. Dunwell and
others have arrived with the mails and
express from Pierce City. Dunwell
learned from an Indian squaw and some
old men that Joseph was entrenched on
the Lolo above Oro Fino and Camas
Prairie Crossing; that he was not going
to leave the country; that he was increas-
ing his forces every day; that he had
then between 400 and 500 warriors, and
said that he would have as many as Gen
Howard. He intended to whip Howard,
and then 60 to Lewiston, and back to
Walla Walla. They claim to have all the
supplies that are needed. Juseph's camp
is in the canons of Lolo Creek, a few
miles east of Orc Fino and COmas Prairie
Crossing, and he has stock secreted at
place called Little Camas Prairie, be-
tween Lolo Creek and middle fork of the
Clear Water. JOseph's position is very
strongly fortified naturally, and almost
inaccessible, from the south or west.
The approaches are difficult, and appar
emily well guarded Ono of tha"a ,ii
Indians told them that all the young men
from that section had gone to join Joseph
Dunwell and party say that the smoke
from Joseph camp is plainly visible from
the wagon road between Dunwell's ferry
and Pierce City, and the camp itself is
about twelve miles from Pierce, in di-
rect line east of south. Dunwell and
party have applied for guns to arm the
company organized at Pierce City, most
of whom are without arms. He says if
they cannot be had he desires a force of
armed men to go back with him and es-
cort the families out of Pierce City.
Without arms there to defend the place
it must be abandoned, as he believes the
people there are in great danger of an
attack at any moment by Joseph's band.
Capt. Spurgeon, of Camas, and Maj.
Weeks start for the front in the morning.
Also several wagons loaded with provs-
ions, with eighty guns and ammunition
for the volunteers and citizens of Mt.

DEER LODGE, NJ. T., July 3

Gov. Potts returned from Missouli this
afternoon. Saturday Looking Glass and
300 Indians and squaws and some horses
passed out of Solo Fork. Some settlers
had been in the Indian camp. The In
dians assured them that they would pass
through the country without destroying
property. The citizens, therefore, did
not care to fight and Rawn declined to
open fire with his small command of reg
ulars, and there was no pursuit. On the
Governors arrival here he ordered the
volunteers who had gone to Big Hole to
return, the force being insufficient.

CHICAGO. July 26.


The mob of yesterday gathered in force on
the South Side this morning and renewed its
depredations and acts of violence. They be-
gan with some 1000 and swelled to a multi
tudc before noon. They showed savage
bravado and seemed fearless of death itself.
However, when some 300 police charged them
they broke up after hot encounter. They
reunited again shortly and prepared fer an
other encounter at Sixteenth street and Hal
sted viaduct. An interchange of shots,
stones and invectivc succeeded, and then
the police, being reinforced, broke into the
mob, killing three men and wOunding many
others. The Second Regiment and the vet
eran volunteers were sent to the scene of
trouble, and the riot was quieted. The U. S.
troops in the city have been ordered to assist
in putting down mobs and riots.
The rioters were busy ali day in various
parts of the city, but chiefly between Canal
and Green streets, and between Twelfth and
| Twenty-second streets. The fighting has
been carried on in these limits almost eXclu-
sively, and it has been continuous and
| bloody, if not as fatal as might be expected
| The police have rarely been the aggressors,
but whenever they have attempted to break
up a mob they have, in the long run, sue
ccedcd. The mob was insulting and ready
| for trouble at any moment, but had whole
! some fear of the regiments and mounted
police, and of the U. s. troops, who are
either on the ground or in close proximity
| to the trouble the entire time. They have
arms of the most effective sort, and when
ever they appear the mob scatters. Numer-
GUS arrests have been made and in almost
every instance an attempt at rescue was
made and a consequent interchange of shots.
About ten o'clock p. m the Second Regi-
ment, the cavalry and alarge squad OfpOlce
marched to Halsted street viaduct and there
met the mob. Two volleys were sent into
them, which had the effect of dispensing
them. The Second Regiment are quartered
on the yiaduct for the night
The total number of those known to be
killed is fifteen. Others have doubtless been
mortally or slightly wounded and the fact
concealed by the mob. None of the police
or soldiers received dangerous wounds.
