/ warSwas madeat theLo To-. Failing there,
it was criminal in the government in refus-
ing to. sustain the Governor in his attempt
to capture them. Had subsistence been pro
vided, the citizens of Montana would have
rallied. as did Deer Lodge county to the res
cue of Missoula, and have wiped the Nez
Perces from the face of the earth long ago,
with less loss of life and property than has
been sustained; but now there is no indica-
ton that the war is any -Eearer over than
when first begun. Howard was at Bakers
battle ground. on the Yellowstone, Oh the
10th, waiting for supplies, for which ne had
sent to the new Posts down the Yellowstone,
while the hostiles were on Careless creek,
Muscleshell valley, full 60 miles distant, with
General Sturgis at their heels, keeping up
a running fight, but not in sufficient force
to engage their entire attention, as is. proven
by their raid on Smith river. They are evil
IDENTIFY. feeling that they have virtually es-
capped. They have now an open road to the
British Possessions, for which they are evil
IDENTIFY making. Should Sturgis, however,
succeed in routing them, they will probably
break up into small bands and take refuge
IN the mountains in the vicinity of the judi
18th. But it is more than likely that they will
keep out Of reachlof the cavalry and send
their families and stock across the Missouri,
then turn and keep the army at bay until
their families are. safe beyond our border.
The warriors will then break up into small
bands, making the Judith region their home,
and inaugurate a regular series Of raids up
on our settlements, hurrying their booty
across the line as fast as captured. We have
never been so enthusiastic as to even indulge
the hope that the war was over. On the
other hand, we believe that to the people Of
Meagher county, at least, it has just begun.
We do not wish to cause any alarm, but
would say to our people: go about your
daily pursuits as usual, but go armed, guard
your horses day and night, and never let a
prowling Indian escape. Every one sent to
his last home is one less to contend with
hereafter, for the trouble is liable to turn in
to regular guerrilla war, to be fought out
in Meagher county. eG +#e 5u-ss

THE PRINCELY STOCK MEN OF NEVADA
CREEK AND THE LITTLE BLACKFOOT.

From Mr.. John Edwards my route was
to the northward. Five miles up hill and
five down the opposite side brought me in
to Nevada Creek valley. A mistake was
certainly made when thi valley was named.
1t should have been called the stock-grow-
ers Paradise, for nowhere in Montana-and
1 may well claim that no valley upon the
American Continent can surpuss it tor fine
grasses. My stay here extended through
one day, during which time l visited most
of the settlers, and in passing from one
farm to another on horseback, | was con-
tinually in the midst of one green meadow,
the wild timothy and buncll-grass reach
ing up to my feet nearly every step of the
way. The valley proper is quite small, but
the tributaries, parks and sloping bench
lands, reach far back OF every side, while
to the north runs the Big Blackfoot through
an open country eight or ten miles in
length, which, when taken with the .Neya-
ola creek valley, makes a large country.
There are about twenty ranchers in this set
Element, about halt OF whom have families.
They have pleasant home, large herds and
live with ease. The fall of snow in winter
is deeper than in most other places, requir-
ing their greatest exertions in making hay
and feeding. Not until recently has there
been in effort made to produce grain here,
but those who have tried it have succeeded
very WELL OF tile residents of this valley, I
remember the names Of. Chas. Brown, A.
Lincoln, Thos. Coleman, j. H. Helms, o.
Kari, j. w. Blair Nincin Petaur and L. b.
Berthlote. In the fields of the last four
named gentlemen, I noticed some fine oats
and considerable vegetables.
Coming out of the valley / followed up
Nevada creek to near its source, and then
crossed over the high table lands to tho Lit
tie Blackkfoot, passing upon my route, some
fine stock ranches, owned by f. Gallagher,
Luke Finn and Michael kiley, who have
large herds. 7'' g F'' H'' t4

LETTER FROM THE FRONT.

The Nez Perces being holly pursued in the
mountains, Howard in the rear and Sturgis
in the front, Sturgis attempted Il move
ment by making a detour, which gave the
Indians their only chance to escape. by flee
ing precipitately down Clark's Fork, cross
ing the Yellowstone. They burned MIR.
Rouse's house, barn and corrall.l Joseph
took possession of the United States mail.
While driving up the road he perceived Stur-
gis in pursuit, cut the tugs, jumped on one
direction of the Muscleshell. Sturgis
brought up and fought them twelve miles
west of the Yellowstone. Three soldiers
are. reported killed and seven wounded.
Sturgis is still in pursuit with about five
hundred men and some Indians. No de-
tails have been received since the fight of
day before yesterday. l can learn no par
ticulars from the Meadow mill settlement.
twelve miles below. 1t is thought that the
Indians did not go below this point. The
statement of Fannie Clark, Il passenger on
the stage, says they looked up and some one
exclaimed " Here comes the whole Nez
Perez tribe-let's run. The men all seized
their guns and took to the brush. They
passed the stage station (the next station
below Rouse's) and set it on fire. She SAYS
she rode down the road yesterday in COM
pany with two men ostensibly to see what
damages We're done at the Meadow place.
