News comes by way of San Francisco of a
formidable uprising of Indians in the region Of
Salmon river, Idaho Territory, the massacre Of
many white families, the gathering Of the
white settlers and friendly Indians for de-
Tense, followed by severe fighting, in
which, according to the latest accounts
the latter were getting badly worsted
The dispatches state that 20 there is a
general uprising of the .savages and
the whole country is wild with alarm. The
Indians are massacring men, women and chill
dren in Camas Prairie, and settlers are fleeing
in all directions for safety" The hostile saw
ages belong to tribe known as Nez Perces,

| The first reports 81. the Indian outbreak in
Idaho Territory were not exaggerated. About
thirty citizens we've murdered on Camas prairie
and that vicinity. The Indians, numbering
from 1000 to 1900, are not Of the lowest class
of hostles. The trouble with them is said to
be the result of an attempt Of the Government
to put the Joseph band of Nez Perces on
reservation. To this they had consented,
! when one of their number was inexcusably
| shot by white man, and all endeavors to Sc
cure the punishment of the murderer failed.
On Salmon river every white man was killed,
but the women and children were spared.
There has been some fighting between the
savages and the white soldiers sent against
them, resulting, according to the advices be-
fore us at this writing, disastrously to the
whites, about fifty of whom have been killed
and wounded. SID 9 ~
