HELENA, Montana, August O.
There is no truth in the report that
Ten Days band of Bannocks had
left the agency with hostile intent.
Thep are proceeding under an es-
cort of United States troops to the
buffalo country. 1t is claimed
that there are no provisions at the
agency, and that the Indians have
been subsisting on rabbits. One of
their number, for stealing some
thing from a ranch at Beaver
Head caflon, was shot and killed
by party on the lookout for the
thief. Considerable excitement
has thus been caused through un.
certainty as to how the Bannocks
might regard the deed. Ten Days
was notified of the deed and on sec

was bad Indian; bury him"

discovering the whites, retreated in
the caiion in such haste that they
were Obliged to leave some fifty
horses, which were captured by the
volunteers and AS it was useless TO
try to dislodge them with 25 men,

City to secure the services Of men
to cut off their retreat on the other
side, it being the calculation to
make an attack on both sides at
once. 1t is hoped that the Indians
have been scooped before this.
