them 10 dead stop amazed that a hor-
nets nest so small should have 80 many
stings in it. In the briefest possible
time for getting under Roadway they ad-
vanced again. and found the stings as
plentiful and as busnesslike as before.
This time they gathered up their dead and
made for the distant timber for shelter
The breechloaders had proven a success.
Meanwhile steady fire Of burning ar
rows was hurled upon the corral by skill
full marksmen, and though the target was
hit again and again nothing came of it.
As soon as the mounted men retired a
party of dusky sharpshooters armed with
rifles, crawled out of the ravines and ad-
vanced slowly, with punches of grass held
before them for screens. These foolhardy
victims found that Capt. Powell's stings
were long reaching as well as innumerable,
and all that lived the venture out retired
and gave it up.
The mounted warriors abandoned their
ponies after the repulse Of the grand charge
and stripped themselves, and with re-
enforcement that swelled the number to
nearly 1900 advanced in a semicircular
line. When within a few hundred PAGES
they started on a run, and kept it up in
spite of the hot fusillade of bullets that met
them until some of them dropped at ten
PAGES from the corral Among the dead
was the war chief of the band. In this at
tack the men in the corral tasted the Indian
fire for the first time. In their savage fury
the redskins, as a rule, shot over the mark
During the run of the naked warriors
Lieut.. Jenness and one of the private sol
diers yielded to burning curiosity to wit
ness the spectacle, and raised their heads
above the parapets. Sudden death was the
penalty.
The Indians found the little nest too well
supplied with stings to be breasted in solid
bodies on a charge and so changed theil
tactics. A number of small parties of per
haps a dozen warriors each, paraded them
selves on one side of the corral and set up
savage war song. When they got within
range the breechloaders quickly scattered
them, aud as they ran off a swarm of thei
fellows arose from the ground on the oppo
site side of the corral and dashed impetu
ously toward the low parapet. These, toe
yielded before the breechloaders, and agail

counsel, after their fashion, what to try
next Their wild war songs sounded over
the plains as signal that the spirit of
carnage had not been crushed out by their
many bloody failures though every breech-
loader in that pent up citadel had claimed
its dusky victim many times over.
The next move of the Indians was one to
scatter the fire of the soldiers by the stimuli
taneous advance of numerous parties of
warriors from many directions. This time
the breechloaders finished the business at
comparatively long range, and sent the
savages back again to cover in great con-
fusion The methods of the Indian style
OF warfare had all been exhausted, and
nothing more was to be expected from
them for a time than the fitful att ,mpts of
a few hotheaded braves to get themselves
killed most beautifully" just for glory.
The fight had lasted three hours and half,
and over 800 savages had gone down before
the pitiless stings of the repeating rifle.
The loss was not appalling, considering the
number of warriors on the scene, but in
view Of the size OF the hornets nest that
did the mischief even savage sense could
feel the humiliation and take alarm. As
il would be only question OF time when
the whole band would be wiped out if the
battle was persisted in, they were glad for
an excuse to quit the field. This was given
them by the arrival of relief detachment
| from the fort led by Col. b. +. Smith, aud
consisting of two companies of regulars
| and two howitzers. The fire in the rear
| quickly sent the Indians scampering over
| the plain on their ponies, and so sudden
and impetuous was the flight that five
1 dead warriors were left behind. During
| the attacks on the corral the guards and
citizens in their rocky shelters on the
mountain side could do very little execu-
ton in firing on the assailants. The range
was too long, except when the savages
were up at close quarters, and then there
was danger Of hitting the men in the corral.
The triumph established the fame of the
breechloaders, for it was plain that every
man in the corral would have been mas
sacred long before Col. Smiths party came
to the rescue had the defense depended on
the old fashioned muzzle loading gun.
Another lesson of the affair was that the
apparently true saying;
He who fights and runs away
May live TO fight another day,
will sometimes bear the spelling of the
rhythm to admit little reason. IL was
fighting and not running away that saved
Capt. Powell's band for other deeds o.
daring. An attempt to retreat five mile:
in the face of that overwhelming horde o.
bloodthirsty fiends would have resulted IL
another Fetterman slaughter. 1t was fal
better to fight, even against those enormous
odds, than to run away.

KELLIHER VS.. SMITH.
The Fight Next Week Promises to
Be Lively One.

Il
Be a Lively One.
There would seem to be no chance
for an unsatisfactory ending to the ten
round glove contest which is to occur at
the Newmarket theater one week from
tomorrow evening, between Dennie
Kelliher and Australian Smith. Here
tofOre the contestants in these glove
contests have had everything their own
way, and have refused to 90 into the
ring until they get their money. This
secured, they went OH and gave lust
such fsticuff exhibition as pleased
themselves, utterly disregarding the
fact that the audience had come there
to see good bout with the mittenS.
This time, however, the audience is to
have the say. Both men have been
obliged to Sign an agreement whereby
the manager is authorized to refund the
admission fee of every spectator who
is dissatisfied with the encounter. Each
purchaser of ticket will be furnshe d
with coupon, and this coupon will en-
title him to have his money refunded if
the fight is tiZZle. 1t will, therefore,
be seen that the men must make good
showing in order to get pay for their
work. There IS an additional incentive,
however, for each man to do his best.
Kelliher is anxious 10 convince his
many admirers that he would have
whipped the Pearl had he not been
fOuled. and he can only do this by max
ing good showing with the Australian.
On the other hand, Smith is after
Killen, and the only way he can
get in a match with the big 'un is for
him to knock Kelliher out. 1t is there
fore probable that the mill will be a
dandy. Both men are in active train
ing-Kelliher at Fort Smelling and Smith
at the t. c. A. G. in Minneapolis. The
contest should be one OF the best of the
year.

GODFREY'S GAMENESS.
Wonderful Ability of the Negro to
Stand Punishment.


Stand Punishment.
SAN FRANCISCO, March lin the
fight between Jake Kilrain and George
Godfrey last night, the most notable
feature was the ability of the negro to
stand punishment. Beginning with the
sixteenth round, Kilrain again and
again rained succession of stunning
blows on his head, neck and face, but
the black fellow took them all In the
beSt-natured manner possible, and came
up smiling after each round. Had Kill
rain pushed his adversary he could pos
Sibly have knocked him out much
felt sure of the result, and accordingly
proposed to give the spectators
a good show for their money. In the
forty-fOurth round, however, Kilrain
woke up and began his long two-handed
drives for the head, speedily rendering
Godfrey groggy. The latter stood
feebly against the ropes unable to do
anything. taking whatever punishment
Kilrain had the strength to administer.
The blows, indeed, were little more than
pushes, but they served their purpose.
Godfrey went through the ropes, land
ing with his head in box of sawdust.
He gamely struggled to get into the ring,
but only succeeded in getting partly
back and hung his head downward over
the ropes. He was counted out and car
ried to his chair amid the cheers of the
spectators who admired his gameness in
the face of sure defeat. Little or no
blood was drawn during the fight. The
gloves weighed about half an ounce
over the regulation five ounces.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Rlchard K.
Fox, of the Police Gazette, to-day re-
ceived dispatch from San Francisco
