q few arms and no ammunition. and even
Il 80 inclined, could not offer the hostiles
battle. Thus far they are peaceably dis
posed. and agent Wilbur apprehends no
danger from them, although some Of the
renegade and disaffected Indians have been
missing of late. Chief Moses with all his
quintalliums are camped in Kittillas valley,
