stated that the roads vers blockadsd
by the Indians, aud urged that the
mail and express do not start from
Lewiston on Saturday unless under
strong escort. Upon receipt Of this
letter orders were given at the garri-
son that two companies Of cavalry
be ready and start for the scene Of
hostilities forthwith. The alarm has
been generally given, 10 as to reach
settlers throughout the country. To-
night Lewiston is under guard Of
twenty police. Several have gone to
accompany the troops to the seat of
war.
LArEa.-June 18th, 4 o'clock P. n.
-Rumors are and have been for tho
last SO hours very conflicting in rela-
ton to where the Indians are and
what they have done. Many Of them
are very exaggerated. The truth is
bad enough to alarm the whole coun-
try. The most authentic is that on
Friday evening at 8 o'clock q military
force of 100 troops, 20 friendly In
dams and several citizens left the
Lapwai garrison under command of
Col. Perry for Mount Idaho. Vari-
GUS letters are brought through by
Indian messengers to the agency and
the garrison from Mt. Idaho and the
Kama, some of them having come
through since the arrival Of the
troops at Mt. Idaho. The following
is the substance from Mt. Idaho:
That a part of the Indians had gone
to attack the settlers on Salmon
River, and q part had gone to q
fortified place on Cottonwood creek
below Chapman's; that Capt. James
Baker, Samuel Benedict. wife and
four children, Harry Mason, Henry
Elfrez and the Warrens expressman
had been killed on Salmon River.
That pack train of forty mules had
been attacked near Cold Spring and
the two white men, Davenport and
Ousley killed, and two half-breed
Indians escaped and the cargo was
captured; that the Indians and set
tiers were fighting below Chapman's.
After the arrival of Col. Perry dis
patch came to the effect that he ar
rived at Mt. Idaho on Saturday morn
ing and found the reports of killed
true; that the Indians had gone to
Salmon River; that the troops were
in pursuit of them in hopes OF over
taking them ut the crossing. Mes
sages from the Kama, brought also
by Indian runners to the agency.
state that it had been ascertained
that 20 whites had been killed so far
as known; that the whites had killed
White Bird, the chief of the band,
and his family. Lal. Dunwell, the
Orc Elmo expressman, came through
safely on Saturday evening unconsci.
