ANOTHERI INDIAN MASSACRE,

Fort Boise will head them if possible. In

(Signed) MCDOWELL, Major General
In military circles the outbreak is consid-
cred serious, as the Indians are brave and
warlike and well supplied with arms. The
combined forces of Chiefs Joseph and White
Bird will not number more than 500; but
there are a large number of discontented In
dians who will, it is feared, be drawn into
hostiIties. The uprising is believed to
have been prcconcerted. Comas Prairie is
in Idaho territory, 60 miles from Lewiston.
Wallula, 1G0 miles by river from Lewiston,
is the nearest telegraphic point. The scene
of action is over 400 miles from Portland.

Point St. Ignacc, Mich. Over 200 years

the foundation Of the mission were ac-
cidentallv unearthed, numerous church
relics discovered, as we'll as human bones

Father Marquette built log cabin at
Point St. Ignace, and named the station
St. Ignatus. After this church was
erected that was subsequently destroyed

lost. Efforts have been made at differ
ent times to discover the site OF the old
mission, but heretofore they have been
of no avail. On the farm of Mr.. Murry,
/ about 200 feet from the main road run
ming through the town, there Is a small

underbrush, which had not been cleared

number of ancient church relics, such as
gold pieces, portions of crosses, Wlndow-
glass, etc. 1t Is reported also tiat
