/ pony, and an excellent shot with j rife
1t was arranged that should cut the hob
bIes and take the horse, while Dauphir
and Kennedy kept close behind me and
covered the bushes with their guns and
as we were to keep close to the ground
there was little danger ofany Of Us being
struck with arrows Or spears.
We moved forward with the greatest
caution keeping our bodies as close as
possible to the ground and never raising
our heads from the time of starting. The
horse was reached, the hobbies cut, and
the capture made without other indication
that our movements were noticed by the
enemy than an occasional agitation Of the
bushes that told US we were seen. and that
a false movement or the slightest exposure
OF Our persons would bring upon us a
shower OF arrows and lances; but strange
to say we got the horse and returned in
safety without firing or receiving a single
shot. Our Gros Fentres friends were Of
course very much humiliated by this ev-
ldence Of superior strategy on our part,
but lndian like they respected Us all the
more for it,J and readily ackaowIedg dyed
that we were better warriors than thew
The Sioux continued around US until
the third day, but finding that we were
not to Be taken BY strategy, and that we
were likely to make long and stubborn
light, they withdrew and left US to proceed
luiet!y on cur way.
This was the first appearance of the
Sioux in Montana, and from that time

Recently as Mr.. Miner, Of the Town o
Langola, Benton County, was driving from
his own house to Mr.. Morrill's, having
with him his wife aud three children, and
when near The Jocelyn school-house was
attacked BY FIVE large timber wolves. The
fierce beasts spraRg at his horses, and
when Mr.. Miner struck at the nearest one
with his whip it made a leap to get to him,
bat struck against the wagon box. At this
moment Mr.. Ms dog bravely attacked this
wolf and was at once set upon by the whole
pack and killed and almost entirely de-
vonred. This gave Mr.. Miner an oppor-
tunity to whip up his horses and make off,
which be did at a full gallop, calling loud
Iy tor help. His cries attracted the atten-
ton Of MI. Jocelyn and family, who came
to the rescue and the wolves were driven
of. But for the fortunate interference Of
the dog the result might have been much
more serious. An attack of this kind by
wolves is almost without precedent in this
part Of the State, and it must be that the
animals were driven to is by ravenous
