reds but it was right on the smooth
prairie, and they charged up within Il
few yards of Us, hitting Woods hard
at the first fire. He couldn't do any
more fighting, poor fellow, but he
lay on his back and loaded while We
did the shooting. The Indians didn't
have any guns at that time, and they
didn't charge right over people as
they sometimes do nowadays, but
they'd ride up within few yards,
pop Oft then arrows, and circle away,
throwing themselves on the Oft side
of their ponies. After keeping up
this business until almost shutdown,
they gave it up and sGuatted out of
range, evidently determined to starve
us out, and so we had no way OF get
ting water. They of course thought
we were straySlcrs from the train
they had seen pass. purlng that az
tryuoon we killed twelve Indians, be-
sides wonnding a number, for they
would ride up so close that he could
give it to them Will! Il revolver in
each hand. In the morning they
made a few charges, just enough to
keep us excited, but the holding-on
policy was what they meant. At Il
O'Clock that day tho train hove in
siynt, and the Indians, whoop;ny like
devils, made one final charge, and
left in short order. That is about the
tightest sclape | ever got caught in,
and it did not make me love the In
dams any better you may DC sure"

been received here from Washing

was more than probable, and that
a climax would be reached within
the next few days.
The steamship City Of Mexico,
which was to have left for Vera
Cruz yesterday morning at s
o'clock, was by orders. detained,
and will not depart before special
kilograms are received from the

That there is something in the
