poets closest friends, will die as he
has lived-a deist. He is familiar
with the idea Of death, and often quotes
tie words "Dei voluntas" with entire

Poundmaker is one of the most restless of the
restless chiefs of the Northwest He has al
ways been a source of trouble to the govern
ment, but was borne with because of the large
number of followershe had Poundmaker was
the cause of the first Indian outrages in the
present difficulties, and to his door may be laid
the entire Indian rising.
Further particulars of Otter's battle indicate
tnat The Indians fought with GOODNESS and
bravery, but they were poorly armed Many
squaws took part in the fight and behaved
equal to the braves. Although exhausted af-
ter the long march, Offers column fought
steadily for seven hours, by which time the
Indians seemed to have enough and retired for
short distance. Otter took advantage of this
to draw his men back for rest and refresh
ment The Indians do not deem themselves
defeated. 1t is now believed that the first
blow which will end in a long and bloody In

The Observation-Disclosures Battle.


WINNIPEG, Man, Special Telegram, May z.
Later and fuller dispatches received from
Battleford regarding the fight last Saturday
indicate that the result was not on favorable
for our troops as at first believed, and the
opinion is expressed by military men here that
Otter had to retreat on BattIeford, fighting all
the way. From comprehensive account re-
celved, the following extract is taken:
The force reached its destination at daybreak
at Cut Knife creek. Scouts were leading fol-
lowed by guns We at once come upon the
tepees, and the Indians opened fire. The In
dams mad laid a trap for US and were scattered
all around with half breeds among them. At
the outset they charged and attempted to cap
ture the guns. They came within twenty yards
and were driven ven back by -, mounted Gt
ling opened fire, moving the enemy
down. The battle ragged fiercely, then wavered
as the Indians drew off, only to return to at
tack again with stronger forco. We were now
almost completely surrounded. The Battle
ford Rifles cleared the bush and left our rear
open For five hours the battle ragged. The
Indians were subjected to a CALLING fire, and
with the aid of the Calling gun and the two sew
en-pounders whitening storm of shell was
poured into the brush. Orders were
given by Col Otter to withdraw from
tho advantageous position they occupied,
the enemy was comparatively safe from
FIRE. This movement was noticed by the In
dians, and an attempt made to cut off the re-
treat'by a number of redskins massing them
selves on the left flank of the troops Otter
finally succeeded in retiring from the field,
and fought his way as he retreated on Battle
ford. Many consider the result as unfortu-
nate, as it will lead the Indians to consider
themselves yictors and they will assume the
aggressive.

that filled the Minnesko river to over.
flowing. The special says the water
rolled down over the lowlands east OF
Medicine Lodge City, in q perpindicuIar
wall five to twelve feet high, carrying
death in its wake. Several whole famil-
les are known to be drowned.
Yesterday morning, parties who had
gone out to give relief. found men,
women, and children with nothing but
their night clothes to protect them, and
some without any clothing whatever,
clinging to trees, but still alive. Three
attempts were made to rescue the parties
beyond the river, but each boat IN turn
was swamped and the occupants only
saved themselves by swimming to trees.
Only five bodies have been recovered up
to the hour of writing the dispatch.
Another body was in sight, but could
not be reached. There were eight NOV.
ers' wagons camping in the bottoms, and
one old man has recognized the bodies
of three of his family, his wife and two
children. James Gibbs and his daughter
Annie were washed away with their
, home. A Mrs. Harris and her little girl
eleven years of age, were found drowned
!. g. ". Paddock and family, consisting oi
wife and four children, are all thought
to be drowned. Frank Shippeler put
his wife and child on the roof, and his
house went down. He was knoched of
by projecting limb, and swan ashore
several miles below, but of the fate oi
his wife and child nothing Is known.
