this candidly expressed opinion of the HER
AID: "With truce to newspaper bicker-
ings We will say the HERALD is the leading
newpaper of the Territory, and that the
energy displayed by its proprietors in secur-
ing for its readers the latest news, gives it
strong claims for support upon all Mon

THE HOSTILES.
Major 1lges Fights the Parting En-
gagement.
Freight Train Destroyed and En-
ployees Killed.

Courier advices from Cow Island, vi0 Fort
Shaw. announce fight on the afternoon of
the 28th, between the Nez Perces and the
command under Major lges, consisting OF
about 100 men composed of military and vol
unteers from Benton. The hostiles had in
tercepted bull train laden with Government
freight en- route from Cow Island to Benton,
killed two of the employees and one citizen,
burned the wagons and stores, and drove OIL
the herd. Major nges, with F Company, 9TH
Infantry, a small detachment of the same
regiment at Dauphan's Rapids and the citizen
volunteers from Benton, pursued the Indians,
drove them into the hills, killed two of the
hostiles, wounded several others and recov-
cred the train cattle with the exception OF
two head, which the Indians killed for meat.
Two of the citizen volunteers are reported
wounded, beyond which Majer .nges' COM
mand sustained no casulties or losses. The
hostiles endeavored to draw the command in
to the broken country, but the discreet officer
would not suffer his little force thus to be
placed at disadvantage and perhaps severely
dealt with without adequate or compromising
results. The train destroyed consisted of six
or more teams with trails, and was owned by
Cooper, Farmer, Barker, and Benham.
These freighters were under contract with
the Diamond ''R" company, transporting
military stores from Cow Island to Benton
and Shaw. The Indians were headed north
and are supposed to be anxious to place the
boundary line back of them at the earliest
day practicable.
