gans, amounting in all to 3,51T men,

are not well armed. The numbers are
obtained from the chiefs actually pres
ent, and are some 400 less than the
census of 1871.
There has been no actual outbreak
among these Indians, but since the war
commenced there has been a manifest
.uneasiness among them, and many in
stances of impudence on their part are
reported by the settlers.
Four Nez PerceS were put in tie
guard-house here this morning, sup
posed to be connected with Hush-hush
Cults band, part of which is with
Joseph, and that they know something
of the murder of old man Richie and
the robberies perpetrated on Pine
creek, which caused all the settlers in
that vicinity to leave their homes some
weeks since. They will be detained
until it Is ascertained positively
whether they are guilty or not.
There is no doubt that all the Indians
in this section are and have been in
direct communication with Joseph and
have been posted several days ahead of
the whites of every movement of Gen.
Towards army, and in case of Joseph's
success hundreds of the young men
would undoubtedly have Joined him,
although the old Indians who have
stock and farms in the country have
manifested a desire to remain in peace.
There is naturally much anxiety felt
among the settlers as to the result of
the coming conference, as they fear in
case it is not satisfactory to the In
dams, and the troops should leave, that
they would have to abandon their
homes and leave to the savages as fine
an agricultural country rs there is in
Washington Territory.

Struggs was on his way to give him
self up and met a party, consisting of
John Graft, Joseph Adamson, John

turning from making u complaint of
the shooting of Oliphant. They stop
ped him in the road, when he fired on
the party shooting Graft through the
heart. Struggs stayed until morning
with Justice Waddle, and was taken in
charge by Constable George Wright, at
daylight. AT 7 O'Clock a posse of
twenty citizens from Atchison and
Leavenworth counties gathered at
Wright's house and took the prisoner
away. John Oliphant, brother of one
of the victims, shot at Strtggs while in
Wright's house and narrowly missed
