CUIlu nave ldh6u Ill tic WHORE OAHU 90 SCOUTS,
but the accidental discarged of gun IN the
hands of one of the scouts caused them to
believe they were discovered, and they opened
fire on the scouts prematurely, and thus gave
them a chance to retreat to the command.
The Indians fled before the troops came up.
The command is now camped seven miles
south of Robinsonville. The hostiles are
making toward Malheur Agency, and are near
Craze prairie.

tunlty offered, and had concealed it III an !
old furnace at the works. About the time |
