rumors OF the outbreak Of Buffalo Horn
iayorite scout Of General Howard
General Crook and General Miles with
letters Of recommendation from them
visited the camp at Fort Boise; while
here he received the following paper from
the government: Here follows letter
telegraphed to Mr.. Penney this evening"
Buffalo Horn has purchased one
hundred cartridges and one pound Of

ses or had any serious effect in producing

A Boise City dispatch Gays: A courier

Governor Brayman having denied
through the press that he was instrument
al in furnishing Buffalo Horn, the hostile
Bannock Chief, with ammunition, We fors
warded the following evidence Of the fact
The following, among other similarly
written communications, addressed to
merchants In this city, was written BY
Brayman and given TO Buffalo Horn,
who, upon the strength Of Brayman's
endorsement, obtained ammunition:
MAY 18th.
Mr.. PrssEY-Bufalo Horn wants, say
50 worth Of Winchester cartridges for
deer hunting. He is loyal. And 81 worth
Of powder.

US. Attorney for Idaho.
In this vay Buffalo Horn succeeded In
obtaining a larEe amount Of ammunition.
The public meeting in this city which
Brayman characterized as mob was
composed of the most respectable citizens
Of Boise, prssided over BY ex:seeretary
Z. ]. Curtis, and was addressed By Hon.
NJ. E. Hallister, Chief Justice Of the Ter
ritory, who was the leading spirit Of ora
lion, and Who fully endorsed all the pro.
ceedings. Brsyman was denounced at the
meeting for his many offences against the
peace and safety Of the country, and more
especially for this last act ot assisting
Butfalo Horn In obtaining ammunition.
There was NO feature Of the meeting par
taking In the slightest degree oi the ma
ture Of mob, and BrsymLnb aecount Is
false In every respect
