be commendable in some cases, ]
cannot think it would add to the
historical value Of this work, and I
therefore deem myself justified in
adhering to a true statement Of
facts, even at the risk Of be accus.
ed Of an egotistical desire for un-
deserved nOtoriety.
y 7 stated in a former sketch that
there was another train to leave
Portneuf a few days after our own
had started. 1t was a large outfit
consisting Of thirty men, besides
women and children, and the party
had about forty wagons aud a con
siderable number Of spare animals.
Among the men were SIX old
friends and associates ofmine nam
ed respectively, Murdock, Sham
burg, Utley, Kishnell, Snyder and
Chafee, They were all brave fel-
lows and experienced mountain
eers, and had with them a aconsider-
able amount Of money. They owned
no part Of the train, but were travel
ing with it for the sake Of company
and to afford the party the benefit
Of their experience and knowledge
Of the country.
This train did not leave Portneuf
until the fourth day after we had
started, but there was another
smaller train Of about eighteen
wagons which started The day after
we left, and was at no Jime more
than fifteen miles behind us. Had
we known this, the curious actions
Of the Indians would not have
been SO very difficult to
understand, But the first intina-
ton we had Of this party was from
John Kennedy-brother Of Nm
Kennedy, Of Missoula, and now a
resident Of Fort BentOn-uh0 had
been travelling with this train, bur

with the Indians was similar
10 that Of our own. They were fol
lowed and watched continually, but
no serious effort was made to
capture the train. They however
met with one misfortune. Two Of
the party, one Of them Q young
man and the other rather aged, re
NAMED behind one morning, after
the train started from camp, to
catch fish. The men had bht one
horse between them, and with ex-I
ception Of a small pocket pistol
carried b7 the old man, neither had
any arms or ammunition with
them.
After the train had been gone
about an hour, the two left their
fishing and started for tie road, |
bat before they had gone a hundred
yards from the river bank a party
Of Indians sprang out Of the willows
and made for them. The young
fellow was mounted at the time,
and as soon as the Indians appear
ed he endeayoredto escape, leaving
the old manto his fate. The caward, I
however, either had not sense
enough or was too frightened TO
prevent the Indians from heading
him off from the road, and they ae
soon had him oorraled,
and he was shot dead while in the
act Of sinking hands with one Of
their number. Meanwhile the old !
man had not been molested, prob
ably because the Indians thought
they would have no difficulty inI
dispatching him after they had
caught the young fellow, and hy he
time they did turn their attention
10 him, he had made good head
way towards the willows on the |.
river bank. They gave him 4 hot

several hours secreted from his
foes. The Indians kept up q strag
Cling FIRE on the brush for an houl
or more, but did not dare to enter
the willows in search Of the plucky
white man, After this they drew
of, and when night came the
victim left his hiding place, and
after q weary journey, and much
suffering from his wound he caught
up with the train. On entering
the camp, he threw himself down:
ezcIalming:
Tn deadl The Indians have
killed me-
He was worth two or three dead
aaen, however, for his friends found
an stripping him, that the ball had
glanced from his back, clear around
to his abdomen, inficting a long
wound, but not much more than
skin deep. The old fellow soon re
covered, and [ believe is still living
il Oregon, but I have forgotten his
name.
A party was soon organized,
with John Kennedy at the head, to
90 out and rescue the yonpg man,
# living, or bring in his body if
dead: They found the victim quite
dead, strip d, and horribly mutilat-
ed.
This vas the only serious mishap
that bef7l this train, but the journey
was one series Of narrow escapes,
and that the party finally got
through in safety seems almost
miraculous.

finally got their ri1e-pits within a
few yards Of the wagons, and the
besieged party could not raise their
heads from their own earthWorks
without meeting with instant death.
It is said, and [ do not doubt the
statement, that Kishnell, one Of
my friends above mentioned, broke
fifty arrows, that lodged in a small
keg behind which he was conceal
ed. Utley was shot through the
head a few moments after reque=
ing one Of bis companions to kill
him if the train should be taken, as
he would rather die than fall into
the hands Of the Indians.
At last, on the third day, 5hese
unfortunate people having lost all
hope Of succor, and rendered des-
perate by thirst and the awful fate
that now seemed ready to grasp
them, they resolved upon the tear
ful expodient Of mounting their
horses and reaching the water by
charging through the lines Of their
foes Murdock offered to head the
party, and sbamburg, Snyder, Chat
fov, and nearly all the other male
SGT vors agreed to follow. It APP
pe however, that only the men
naI d and four others had the
col .ge to make the venture.
Having removed a portion Of the
barricade and mounted their
horses, the brave men were ready
to start on their perilous mission.
Murdock gave the word forward,
and the party charged out.
The Indians were either not pre-.
pared for such a desperate moves
lnent, or they purposely allowed the
men to pass beyond their lines
without attempting to Intercept
them. At all events they did moi
return the fire Of the men, but be-
fore the latter had got fifty yards
from the corral, the Indians closed
IN and got between them and theI
train. They then made i charge
on the corral hrnka 1ls,.z,-.44
e,sssse1 S771 s15t s5f1d III moment the help
less inmates were at their mercy.
Seeing this, the brave little
party Of horsemen wheeled and
made a desperate charge TO regain
the corral. They were received
with fearful volley OF bullets and
arrows and two oftheir number fell
mortalIY wounded. Nothing daunt-
ed, they held their ground, and for
awhile even compelled the enemy
to give way before them, but for
every Indian that fell dozen were
ready to take bis place. Tue
shrieks Of the women and children
now heard above the horrid yelIs
Of the inhaman foe, told the strug-
Cling men that the work Of butch
cry had commenced, and the i'm

was no possible hope Of roseuiDg

the order to retreat, and the me0
