trouble had broken out among
them and they had com menced ex.
changing shots. Two Indians had
been killed when the runner left.

young Indians had left the main
body and were travelling north.
Major Pollock hurried to the scene
of trouble but the Indians indig-
nantly refused to receive any coun-
sci from him, and plainly told him
to let them alone. The cause of
the trouble is not given, but may

number were in favor of remaining
on the river, but, through the
efforts of leading chiefs, were COM
