SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. -Dispatch-
es from Lewiston, ria Portland, give
details of encounters with the Indians
on the third, fourth and fifth instants
near Cottonwood. On Tuesday Col.
Whipplc sent out Foster and Baird
scouting for Indians in the direction of
Gen. Towards camp, on the Salmon
river. They had not gone far when
they met three or four Indians who ran
them back towards camp. Baird was
endorsed but escaped. Foster reached
comp. Col. Whipplc ordered his com
mand TO be in readiness to move, and
in the meantime Lieut.. Rains, with
Foster and eleven men, were sent in
advance to reconnoiter. Rams and his
men rode over the first rise this side Of
Cottonwood and down into a side
ravine where the road crosses before
the ascent of the crags and were at
tackled before Whipple could get to
them. Rains and his whole party were
killed, including Foster. Whipple's
command came forward and formed in
line of battle on the cast side of the
ravine, the Indians being on the west
side, all in open ground and about one
thousand yards apart, and with only
the ravihe between them. Here they
renamed mcnacing each other about
TWO hours till darkness came,
when Whipple returned to his
camp, and the Indians passed
,ver to a point ON Cottonwood
trails to Craig's crossing. No more
was done that night. Next morning
Whipple and his men started this way
to meet C~l. Perry, who was expected
with supply train from Lapwai, an
kept out his skirmish lines along the
route. They met Col. Perry with his
tram near Board House and escorted
him to tho Damp on Cottonwood creek.
Baird and two men arrived from Mount
Idaho soon after, and about o'clock
r. NJ. rifle pits were manned and two
Gatlings placed IN position. The In
lians made several attempts to storm
The nf1e p is, but were kept at a dis
ceased for the night. On the morning
Of the fifth two Couriers arrived from
Howard chased into camp by the In
iians. Soon after the Indians moved
their camp, with about 1000 head of
stock, across the prairie in the direc-
ton OF Cottonwood. No move
ment was made to intercept. Soon af-
ter Capt. Randall and sixteen volun-
reers from Mount Idaho appeared.
About $50 Indians intercepted them at
the junction Of the Elk City trail with
the stage road. AT this crisis, they
being seen from Perry's position on the
hill at the rifle pits, the colonel
was urged to go with his
troops to their rescue, to which he re-
Piled that it was no use; that they
were gone up: he would not order his
men to the rescue. The volunteers
say that their captain, seeing his posi-
ton, ordered them to charge and
break the line of the Indians, dash
over toward the creek and bottom, dis
m )unt and return the Indian fire and
mold their position under the cover Of
a hill until the force at Cottonwood
could reach them. The command was
no sooner given than Capt. Randall and
his sixteen men made a charge, broke
through the Indians line reached the
positIon named, dismounted and re-
turned the fire. In the charge Capt.
Randall was MORALLY wounded, Ben
jamin Evans killed and three others
were wounded. They fought there
for an hour, and kept the Indians at
bay. In about half an hour after it
was known that the Indians had the
volunteers in tight place, and Col.
Perry gave orders for fifty men to 60
to their relief. 1t was quickly obeyed,
and they were relieved in about one
hour after the charge. No pursuit Of
the Indians was ordered, but retreat
was made to camp, and no pursuit had
been made since up to the time Morrill,
left.
