Yesterday the gun boat took him To Wal.

mand of Col. Wells and SO ably handled by
Capt. Gray, is doing very effective service
and making it hot for the Columbia rene
gadcs, who have split from the main body
of hostilcs and are fleeing with their stock

Daley road, where they have already
been met and driven back by the CON-

SAN Francisco, July 23.-From Lieut..

Grant Co., we learn that on last Saturday
morning, soon after the column had start

it became necessary 10 cross canyon
some 1900 feet deep. Fourteen of Col.
Robbins scouts were sent ahead to recon.
hotter. They had only got short dis.
lance down into the canyon when they
were fired on by Indians in ambush.
Eight of their horses fell in the first fire.
II. II. Froman, one Of the scouts who had
Joined Robbins company from Capt. Kcl-
ley's company of volunteers, was shot in
the shoulder, the ball following the arm,
shatterlng it from the shoulder to the ell
bow and causing him to bleed to death
before he could be taken to the physician.
He is son of Doctor Froman of Payette
valley. Jack Campbell, from Boise City.
received five or six shots about the head
and neck, but not necessarily fatal. An
other scout by the name of Banks was
knocked off his horse by three or four

TWILIGHT MONOLOGJE.

an ii be that the glory Of manhood has passed,
That its purpose, its pas sion, its might,
Have all uacd with the fervor that FED them AT
last,
AS the Twilight comes down with the Night,
Can it be have lived, dreamed, and lahored IN
vain,
The proud goal had aimed At j. tauntng my
pain,
As the Twilight comes down with the Might!
The glad days the brave wears that were lusty and
long,
How they fade ON vague memorys sight!
And their JOYS are like echoes of iuhilaht song,
As the Twilight comes down with the Night.
There is aew on my raiment; the sea winds wall
low,
Al lost birds waited waveward in flights
And all Nature grows cold, like my heart IN lis
woe,
At the advent of Twilight and Night
From the realm of dead sunsets, scarce datkcued
as yet,
Der the hills, mist.cnShro ded and white,
A soft sigh ofinetlable mournful regret
Seems eXhaled 'twiXt the Twilight and Night.
D thou Genius Of Art have worshippcd and
blessed!
o thou soul Of all beauty and light.
Lift me up in thine arms, give me warmth from
thy breast
Ere the Twilight be merged in the Night!
! may draw from thy bosom miraculous breath;
And for once on Songs uppermost height
[ may chant to the nations such music in death
As shall mock at the Twilight and Night.

taken down the same day. The boy
got well, the mother died The week
following the funeral the cook was taken.
Two days later Col. .Icwctt came down,
and three days later still myself and
little girl were both stricken the same
day. We have thus had six cases in n
