EN DIAN VICTORY,

Report reached here on Monday that
Gibbon had engaged the hostiIes near
Big Hole and had himself been killed
and 100 OF his men. On Tues lay
night Lieut.. Jones arrived from Walla
Walla a.nd reported that the operator
at Wullula had observed a message 90.
ing over the wires to the effect that a
he,ht had taken place aud Gibbon and
u large number Of men killed. This
was on Sunday evening and was made
known at Walla WalIa before the cour-
Ter left for LIE vision bringing Towards
dispatch. Mr.. Jones further says that
the operator at Walla Wa|la was in
duced to send mess's of inquiry to
Portland to learn the facts, and that
the response was, in substance, that
there had been big fight, that at first
the camp was taken, that afterwards
they rallied aud drove them out Of camp
with great slaughter, that Capt. Gibbons
loss was 80 men, killed and wounded,
out of $50. Admitting the above to be
true, and the position that Howard was
in at the time Of the fight, only one
days march behind Gbbon, he should
have engaged tie Indians on the 10th.
with his cavalry, else the Indians fled
before Towards force. Ont of all this
smoke OLA battle it is more than proba-
BILE that there is some fire, but it is to
be hoped that it has not been so disas-
trous to'our troops as reported. If the
Indians did mako the. slaughter report
ed Of them, they must also have taken
many guns and much ammunition and
unless their success is followed quickly
by an important defeat, it will render
ticklish the disposition of other tribes
to join in the war.

THE LEFT COLUMN.

The left column of Howard's army,
nn1er Wheaton arrived at the Spokane
lower falls on Friday Of last week. That
was the day for the Indians to meet
Watkins for council. The courier who
lett the column on Sunday morning last
says but very few Indians had then ar
rived, and so far as could be learned
there was relucta nce on the part OF
the Indians to 90 into council. They
know the object yf the council to be the
establishment of suitable reserve for
the Indians to occupy and not being
kindly dispos ed towards being restricted
in their terri itorial limits, they seek to
avoid the council lest they commit
themselvc s to a policy distasteful to
them. Suits and Spokane Geary and
a few prominent Indians had put III an
appearance and it was expected that
Moses would be there on Wednesday.
Put the prospect was not favorable to
large number of Indians attending the
council. So says Mr.. Shultz, the cour.
Ter who arrived from there Monday
night. A dispatch from Howard or
ders Wheaton's command to be stopped
in its cou.se for Mssoula via Sahon
pass. What W i'll be the next move on
the board to check-mate Joseph is an
unsolved problem.

WATKINS LABELS.

We have been furnished with a man
uscript copy of letter signed by The
Auditor and Sheriff of Idaho county in
reply to Inspector Watkins letter sent
to Washington and published in the
Boston Herald and New York World.
We are informed that this reply has
been sent to both the Herald ano
World for publication. 1t completely
refutes Watkins assertions by the mar.
ration of facts which can be fully sub
stantiated by the at6davits of eye wit.
nesses. The only advantage which
Watkins will have 10 this matter is the
fact that he had the first say and made
an impression which will have to be re.
moved by the proof of the facts as they
existed at the time Watkins wrote his
letter. 1t is unpleasant for citizens to
be compelled to defend themselves from
the aspersions of officers in high stand.
ing who evidently charge them with bad
faith towards Indians such as to induce
them to murder and raid upon settlers,
when the facts are that they had for
years endured the ipdignities and in.
suits from these Indians without resent
ment, in the confident hope that the
government would ere long remove
The teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1876-1878, 1877-08-18
THE TRUE POLICY.

Abolish all Indian reservations, treat
every Indian as subject and not as a
ward Of the government, place troops
at convenient points among the frontier
settlements, or what is better, place
arms within reach of the settlers with
ammunition, and under such regulations
that they can always be accessible for
use Immediately in case Of an outbreak.
Grant the Indian the same right to set.
tie upon aud cultivate and own land
the same as the whiteman. Punish
severely the sale of ammunition to In
dams on the frontier. Compel the In
dian to till the land or starve. When
the government adopt policy some
thing like the foregoing Indian wars
will soon cease and millions be saved to
the government annually. There is no
sense in the policy to make the white,
man earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow while the Indian is fed and petted
10 his Iaziness upon a reservation with
permission to 90 off at will and raid
upon settlers and return again his hands
reeking with the blood Of his victims,
and he received in full fellowship as
before by pensioned agents and herald
ed to the church and the world as a
good christian Indian. We say let the
Indian 'root hog or die" like others of
the human race.

SOME; NlURD II IL EEeS.

We learn from pretty good authority
that the murderer of Richie of Pine
Greek, is concealed by band of Indi
ans on Snake river few miles below
Almota. There is also there an Indi-
an who took part in the raid upon and
killing of Ben. Norton. Both Of these
Indians have recently been seen at the
above point by an Indian who knows
Thorn we'll. The band who sccre!e them
are mostly Nez Perces, and several Of
them have been with the hostiles and
the others have been out about the Spo-
kane river. They were all at the Spo
kane river when Whcaton's command
started north, but learning of the move.
ment of these troops they wendell their
way around to Snake river. We are
told that the Sheriff of Whitman Go.
has made the attempt to get the muir.
.derer Of Richie, but the Indians Of this
band would not reveal his place of con-
cealment. The conduct of this whole
band is such as to warrant their appre-
heusion aud dealin: with as hostjles and
all dalliance with them is only aggrava.
ting evils to hereafter befal the settlers.
They should be upon the reservation as
that is where the order Of the govern
meut requires them to be. The band
comprises about % in number, besides
sQuaws.
