Fort ROBINSON, NEB. Jan. 15.-On Sun
day night the Indians in the bed of Indian
Creek, on Hat Creek Road, about twenty
miles from the post, further strengthened
their position by improvising rifle-pits
At II o'clock Monday twelve-poLnd Ma
poleon gun was brought upon the scene of
action. but owing to the nature of the posi-
tion assumed by the savages the gun could
not be sufficiently depressed to play upon
the position.
A number of shells and solid shot were
thrown as near as possible to the posi- ion
occupied, but with apparently no effect.
Affairs stood thus at dark on the night of
Monday. On yesterday morning, the off
GERS discovered to their dismay that they had
escaped during the night. Owing to the
troops having no provisions on hand, Wes-
sells found it impracticable to follow their
trail, consequently the troops arrived in
camp yesterday, with view to equip a
pack train, and start on prolonged scout
after the savages.
