n spot out of reach Of bullets from the
camp Of the main body Of Indians, Egan
was seized and informed that he was TO be
carried to the camp Of the Bost"ns. With
the seven followers he resisted and at
tempted to escape. Instantly over half II
hundred rifles were leveled, and Egan, the
the brave, with three out of the seven fol-
lowers, bit the dust. The other four Nal
hours were brought to Capt. Miles COM
mand as prisoners. Egan and his dead
were scalped and the Umatillas returned
to Capt. Miles command with the trophies
of :heir success, their brethren returning
with them. Capt. Miles told the Indians
that as there might be some dispute as to
the identity of Egan's scalp it might be
well to bring in some other part of his
body, and they again went to the scene of
the killing and brought in his head and
left arm. The arm was found TO have
been recently fractured above the elbow by
bullet and was enclosed in splints and
bandages and bound to his breast. The
wound was probably made by ball from
the gun of Mr.. Robic at the time Egan
and his party called on Messrs. Robe g.

tillas ia sedaeing Eyau from his camp un-
der false prctenses and then taking his
life; but while we might condemn the
theory of their conduct. we have reason
to be satisfied with its results. The villain
would not fight armed men, but his saw
age propensities led him to the utmost
cruelty to the defenceless who fell into his
hands. Homely, sub-chief of the Una
tillas, claims and Is reported to have fired
the shot which killed Egan, and will prob
ably get the 81 900 reward offered by Mr..
Robbie for the scalp of the reprobate.
The Umatilla Indians report that Egan
had frequently been on their reservation,
and that in his arguments to them to in
duce them to join him in q war on the
whites he stripped himself naked and
showed 2s distinct scars on his person.
