Daily press and Dakotaian. [volume] (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1875-1880, 1877-08-14

Yesterdays account of the late battle in
western Montana indicates that Chief joseph
has met with a demoralizing defeat, though
the heavy loss to the government forces
shows thai. he made 4 desperate effort to
overwhelm the attacking party and came
near succeeding. Gen. Gibbon left Missoula
on the 18th inst. with two hundred regulars,
q company of citizen soldiers following.
The Indians were in camp seventy-6ve
miles distant and Gen. Howard was ap-
preaching from the west. Gibbon reached
the Indians two days ahead of Towards
arrival, surprised them in their camp
and gave them . thrashing which
they will not o forget. 1t is
supposed that the purpose Of Jo.eph is
to effect q junction with Sitting Bull, who is
watching from the Canada side of the line
the progress ofevents. Gen. Miles, however,
is between the two forces and will endeayor
to prevent the consummation of this plan.
There are grave apprehensions At Washing
ton that the lower Sioux, disturbed by the
proposed removal Of two of the largest tribes
t. the Missouri river, many join the forces
aLder Joseph and Sitting Bull and create
. force which our weak army could not
stand against. Gen. Sherman is at Miasoula
and will doubtless give personal direction
to the movements of the immediate future.
