order to be iu ppsiiiJa to better cofn-
prehend and grapple with the situation,
sent number of scouts to the front. A
. telegram was also received from Gov.
hadwick contirmatory of these reports.
Following these stories came the news
that the road between this city and Yves
ton was lined with fleeing settlers. About
O'Clock these wagons commenced pour
ing into the city, ard by IL O'Clock it is
J estimated that fully $50 people. mostly
women and children, passed in through
the various avenues leading from the
country roads.
About II o'clock Wallace George, a
government courier. arrived direct from
the battle ground, and from him l learn
the following: On Friday afternoon about
half-past 1, Geo. Coggan, in company
with AL. Bunncr and Mr.. Foster, started
from Meacham's for PendletOn. They
had not proceeded far when they came
across band of about 200 Indians who
we're driving a large band of horses. The
Indians paid no attention to Coggan and
his party and permitted. them to pass on
unmolested. They had gone but short
distance when portion of the Indians.
about forty, turned to pursue them. Cog
gan and his party put spurs to their ami
mails and attempted to outrun them. Fos-
ter and Bunker, who were mounted on
coed animals, succeeded, but COggan,
who was poorly mounted, his horse being
an old stage animal, fell behind and was
soon surrounded by the bloodthirs.y saw
ages who sp eedily dispatched him. The
Indians followed q short distance, keeping
up their fire. During the pursuit Bunker
received two wounds in his side and an
other in his right hip. Foster, altho u Oh
| in great danger himself, assisted Bunker
to remount. They moved rapidly on, the
Indians following but short distance. 1t
soon became apparent that Bunker could
not longer keep his horse. Accordingly
he was carefully bestowed by his compan-
lon in secluded spot. Foster without
further delay proceeded to Pendleton,
when, upon relating what had befallen
his companions, Col. Cornoyer with par
ty of twelve men started out to recover
Coggan's body and bring In Bunker.
Soon after starting they met large band
of hostiles and we're compelled to return.
! In the meantime Colonel Miles, with
about 800 regulars, had reached Pendle-
ton, and hearing the reports brought In
both by Foster and Cornoyer, immediate
" took up his line of march for the place
where the Indians were said to be. After
a march of about elk miles and within q
short distance Of Cayuse Station, he en-.
countered between 400 and 500 warriors.
THIS was about O'Clock In the morning.

ued without iniermission until 1s O'Clock.
