cefsion q \ f~w IN % guard the trzns
ysortafion a few miles sb0ve close 10 the
Indian camp. which was made on Big
Hole about three miles beiow where the
Bitter Root and Bannack trail CROSSES
At daylight this morning the fight was
opened by the volunteers firing on and
killing an Indian going after horses. The
charge was then made on the camp and
hard fighting occurred for the next two
hours, during which time number Of
men and Indians were killed. The sol
dicrs then charged on the lodges, but
were repulsed in the attempt. The In
dams then attempted to cut them off from
a high wooded point, but the soldiers
charged them, and driving the Indian ad-
vance from it held it and at once fortified.
Fighting continued here all day, and was
still progressing fitfully when the courier
left. At II o'clock the fighting was des-
Indians being in the fight. Capt Logan
and Lieut.. Bradley were killed. Gen.
Gibbon, Capt. Williams and Lieuts. Cool
idge, English and Woodruff were wound
ed, Gen. Gibbon only slightly. Bradley
was the first man killed. The messenger
says that after they failed to capture the
lodges, the Indians moved their camp
off in the direction of Bannock. All
their horses being captured the messenger
had to come to French gulch, nearly 80
miles, on foot. Another messenger was
sent to Gen. Howard, who should have
reached there today. The howitzer had
been left six miles behind, and was or
dered to be moved up at daylight. During
the fight they heard it discharged twice
and then it was silent. A band of In
dams soon appeared with large band of
horses, and it is believed all the horses of
the command, the guns, their supplys, re-
serve ammunition, etc., were captured.
Gen. Gibbon thought when the courier
left there he had still one hundred effect
i've men, and believed the Indians had
nearly all withdrawn from his front The
messenger says he thinks one hundred
Indians were killed, and nearly half the
command, including citizens, were killed
or wounded. Gen. Gibbon has sent for
medicines, surgeons, supplies, etc. Or.
Mitchell will leave today with an escort.
Gen. Gibbon particularly asks for ambu-
lance wagons to come under escort, and
from here and Butte. 1t was one of the
hardest Indian fights on record, and Glib
bons command made most gallant and
desperate fight against overwhelming
numbers.
