PRECEDING THE FIGHT.


BATTLEEORD, May 6.-Colonel Otter,
hearing that Poundmaker was holding
high carnival with the plumber from set
tiers and storekeepers at and around
forked trail west of Battleford proceeded
to surprise the camp and punish the Indi-
ans, in the full expectation of cutting up
and dispensing the whole band. The
troops were in high spirits, in the full be-
it was not believed that Poundmaker had
upwards of 1870 braves, badly armed. The
flying column, with less than two days
rations, had proceeded about nineteen
miles, having passed many scout covers
where trouble had been expected, and the
Colonel was feeling disappointed, fearing
the rebels had retired, when scout came
galloping back with the news that one of
the advance scouts had been wounded in
the leg. This indicate trouble imminent
and the men braeed resolutely for the
fray. There. was nervous, fidgety loo
on the mems faces. evidently the result OF
the repeated warnings from the Colonel
that the fatalities would be the result of
ambush firing. The reports furnished
Colonel Otter en- route prove precon-
certed plan to deceive the volunteers as to
the force of the rebels who We're every
where generally, ,underestmated, The
firing of the redskins issued first as if
from detached and distributed knots from
behind scrub and knobs at considerable
distances. These tactics rather discon-
certed the troops during the first hour of
the fight, but the Indians finally concen-
trated and took the defensive.
About four hours after the engagement
opened, a flag was suddenly raised in rear
of a point near the centre of the rebel po-
sition. At first it was supposed to be a
flag of truce but the latter impression is
that it was feint to create the impression
that white prisoners We're there endanger-
ed. Poundmaker had with him about a
hundred of his own warriors strengthen
ed by strong forces froIi Sweet Grass,
Thunder Child's" and "MooSomins'' re-
serves, although some of these have been
protesting loyalty to the Dominion. 1t

BATTLEFoRD, May 6-Further details
of the battle between Otter's force and
Poundmaker's Indians show favorably for
Otter The Indians used muskets, war
clubs, shear bows and arrows, and weap-
ons of every conceivable kind. Otter's
force keeps well under cover of the bush
and from an intrenched position poured a
deadly vOlley of bullets into the red skins,
who fell in scores all round. Fully one
hundred are known to have been killed
and it is thought twice as many are
wounded. Offers loss was seven killed
and eighteen wounded. The troops burn
ed the buildings on the reverse before
leaving The Quappella Indians, who
yesterday raided and sacked a number of
settlers houses, are to-day reported to
have risen and left the reserve. Crowfoot
chief of the Blackfeet, who is related to
Poundmaker will, it is said, join him in a
battle against the whites The Dominion
government and Col. Otter are blamed for
not securing the ransom of Mclean and
other white captives of the Indians before
precipitating matters. They will prob
ably all be murderedIf they have not al
ready been. Great alarm is felt here in
consequence. Positive advices from
Clark's crossing to-day says that Middle
ton began his advance this morning. A
battle is expected at Batouche to-mor-
row.
Further particulars indicate that the
Indians fought with GOODNESS and bravery
Many squaws took part in the fight and
behaved as cOurageOuSly as the braves
Although exhausted after their long
march, Col. Offers column fought steadi-
ly for seven hours, by which time the In
dams seemed to have had enough and re-
tired for Il short distance Col Otter
took advantage of this to draw his men
back for rest and refreshment. 1t is be-
lieved that the first blow has been struck
of what will prove long and bloody In
dian war.
