made brave dash and accomplished
their object, thus lessoning the danger
Of the situation. The fighting which
was all skirmishing, was over large
and uneven stretch of country, and
our men were working at great dis
advantage, but they stuck to it like
heroes and with bullets whistling in
on them from almost every direction
never flinched for an instant. Every
corps continued steadily on the ag'
gressive and by 10 o'clock in the
forenoon the enemy's fire was almost
silenced. They resumed again short
ly and the fighting was again heavy
The artillery with two seven pound
ers and the Calling did good work by
bringing the enemy from their cover
At II o'clock the enemy were again
almost completely silenced. Colonel
Otter had already given orders to
withdraw from a position of such dis
advantage. The Indians, observing
this, endeavored to cut off the retreat
of our men, who fought their way
out inch by inch, the front always to
the enemy. Our force comprised 70
mounted police and scouts, B battery,
Ottawa Guards, G company (regu-
lars), part of Queens Own and the
Battleford Rifles. 1t is thought that
from 80 to 60 of the enemy were
killed. The column returned to Bat
tleford that night.
Another account says: The In
dams used muskets, war clubs, spears,
bows and arrows and every conceiva-
BILE weapon of warfare Offers men
kept well under cover of the bush
and from an entrenched position
poured deadly volley of bullets into
the redskins, who fell in scores all
around. Fully 100 Indians are
known to have been killed and it is
thought twice as many wounded.
A later dispatch says:
The scouts sent to reconnoitre the
Indian position returned to-day and
reported them still at Cut Knife Hill,
where Saturdays engagement was
fought. 1t is believed their loss must
have been heavy, or they would have
followed up the troops. 1t is report
ed tonight that a letter has been re-
ceived in the camp from priest on
Poundmaker's reserve, stating that
the Indian loss on Saturday was 1875.
Two seven-pounders became disabled
through the trucks breaking down
during the engagement and caused
their withdrawal. Before that time
the enemy was almost completely ST.
fenced. The troops retired in perfect
order. The men had no sleep the
night before, and no breakfast. Sew
eral fell asleep while lying on the
skirmishing line when the enemy had
been silenced for some time.
A second battle was fought last
near Batoches, between the
Canadians, under General Middleton
and the rebels under Riel. Full par
ticulars have not yet been received.

A Proposed JunLetsng Trip.
fCarson Appeal. ]


There is proposition now on foot
to send PROT. Young, State Superin-
lendent of Public Instruction, to
Washington to secure for ihls State
part OF the $780, 900 appropriation
voted by Congress for the education
OF Indians. The idea Is to raise
81 300 for MIR. Young's expenses.
What particular necessity there is for
this junketing expedition OF Mr..
Young We fail to see.
II the Government has appro1ri-
ated money for the benefit oil The In
dians in States where The Indians
exist, IL is a matter for the State Gov
eminent aud the General Govern
ment to settle without the intermedi-
alton of anybody, or the excursion OF
anybody to Washington at an ex-
pense OF 81, 800.
Professor Young has pestered the
State of Nevada with bis schemes
ever since he was elected. tie had
half dozen, or perhaps dozen dif-
ferent bills before the last Legislature,
all tending to give him a closer rela-
ton with the public crib. One OF
those bills proposed to pay his ex-
penses to New Orleans aud back, that
he might be enabled to deliver leo
ture before the school teachers OF the
crescent City upon the benefits of
education.
OF course the main idea was to en-
able him to visit the New Orleans
Exposition and have q regular good
time at the States expense.
However, IL any one is anxious to
have Prof. Young enjoy himself with
a summering at the Capital he can
contribute to the private subscription
now being circulated by friends OF
the Professor.
