AS soon as the general had coliecte sui
ficent force he marched against them,
drove Joseph down the Whitebird creek
and forced him to cross to the west side of
the Salmon river. Then with considerable
difficulty he crossed his own command into
that same country between the Salmon and
the Snake which is as rough and rugged as
Switzerland, and Immediately set himself
to follow the Indians trail They had hur-
ried down the left bank of the Salmon, oyer
the noun famous crags, toward the mouth of
that swift river and without hesitation re-
crossed the mad stream at Craig's ferry
Our troops, unlike the Indians, who swim
their plucky ponies and drag their skin
RATS after them, were here obliged to delay
for two or three days constructing and at
tempting TO use a large timber raft. But
meanwhile the general had sent back on his
Iapwai route the regular cavalry, part of
which was to hold Norton's ranch and part
TO bring up supplies from Fort Lapwai.
Eleven cavalry -men of, this force under
Lieutenant Rains went out from Norton's

and his Indians, having got over Craig's
ferry, were turning back to pass between
Norton's and Grangeyille, and aiming
further north toward kamiah. The In
dams evidently. surprised the lieutenant
and his party, and without mercy massacred
them all. Again, seventeen mounted volun-
teers about the same time set out from
Mount Idaho to go to Norton's, when they
also were cut off by a swarm of savage war
riors and several of them were slain. Gen
eral Howard about this time lost his new
raft in the wild torrent, and could not eff

canon back there Now Chapman's error
was evident; they were not escaping. At
once we took the offensive. The small bat
terry went back at double quick. 1t was
guarded by the troop of Captain Winters.
Winters galloped around the head of the
cross ravine, and there, inst beyond the
bluff down IN the low ground, he found
some Indians already dismounted, hiding
and waiting. Instantly dismounting his
men, he put them into line, while the horses

Indians, striving to keep beyond the range
of the guns, kept extending their line until
it became great enveloping curve. Col

hurried up Captain Rurton's company OF

pushing his troop off TO the left.
The first Indians that came out of the
canon-we would call them fankers-suc-
ceeded in disabling two mules that were
loaded with hoWitZer ammunition, and they

Captains Whipple and Perry had dis
mounted their cavalrymen and prolonged
Winters line so much that they could cover
the fallen mules by rapid fire. and so they
saved the ammunition from capture. A
brave messenger had during the melee
guided the main supply train till Captain
Wilkinson, Aide-de- camp, came to help
him. They successfully massel the train
near the cavalry horses, and well beyond
the hostile fire. just as speedily as it could
be done, Trimble was brought back, and all
the remaining companies were put into po-
sition. Our line had now its infantry on

New YORK, Jan. s, 1891. Especial cor

ent situation among the Sioux reminds the
writer Of closely contested battle of 1877
of which he formed part

Lewiston, which is situated at the junction
of the Clearwater with the almost intermin-
able Snake; then let the eye run eastetly a
distance equivalent to seventy miles till it
crosses the south branch OF the Clearwater;
there due north from the village of Mount
Idaho, you reach a rough, uninba5ited pla-
teau. That plateau was the battle ground.
There between dry canon and the Branch,
occurred the fierce combat between some
500 Nez Perces and about the same number
of United States troops. The young chief,
Nez Perez Joseph. led the Indians.
Though the Nez Perces had never before
had war with the white men, bcasting of
never having shed white mans blood,
they had frequently waged contests with
more eastern tribes They were superb
horsemen and had so trained these ponies
that, like shepherd dogs, they would under
stand and obey their owners. These In
dian horsemen were probably the best
mounted sl1irmishers in the world at the
commencement of the Nez Perce war.
The war began in a series of ma sacres
which the Indians committed in the region
around Mount Idaho. The white women
ana children, who were wounded in the
outbreak, but not fatally, were gathered
into that stricken village oseph at the
same time, in the low ground of the White
bird canon, assem- bled all the Indians who
would join the war HIS men were then
var1ously estimated to number from three
TO seven hundred. General Howard, prov
identially at Lapwai when the frightfu
news came, sent forward under Colonel
Perry two troops of cavalry, with instruc-
tions to check the hostiles and stop the
murders. Meanwhile, with the intention
speedily to follow. he himself was hastily
bringing together at Lapwai from the vari

Perry had but ninety men. He made

once, but suffered notifying defeat. He

the slightly wounded escaped death: for a.
this time the Indians were killing all theil
prisoners.

horse across the fierce river, he heard
of the state of matters at Norton's and
vicinity, and as the best thing to do turned
back on his trail, and by the help of few
sllffs recrossed the Salmon and Whitebird.
The pack horses and mules held by their
halters would follow a skiff four or five
at time. but would take the water in no
other way.
Forced marches were now made by the
troops to intercept the Indians. A small
number of volunteers, which the general
had sent back before him across the Sal
mon by the Rocky canon, now pushed on
boldly after the Indians, who appeared to
be moving toward Kamiah. The savages
soon stopped to gather food and new re-
cruits from the Lapwai reservation, for
their reputed success was fast bringing to
them the hesitating. They pitched their
lodges in the valleys along the Clearwater
near the mouth of the Cotton wood creek.
The volunteers cautiously avoiding them
assembled Round hill, high butte in
the neighborhood, and put themselves
on the watch. During the first
night, however, party of Indians stole
their horses, setting ABOUT forty of them
on foot, but did no, undertake to further
modest Them. General Howard had already
sent word by daring officer to these vol
unteers to stay there quietly while he was
working his troops around the Indian camp
by the way of Jackson's bridge, with a
view to get beyond the entire hostile force
and, if possible, compel Joseph to accept
battle. Toe 10Th of July was busy day.
Country wagons were used to carry a third
of the infantry at time while the rest
were marching. That day by this help
they made thirty eight miles the longest
one days march of the campaign. The
command crossed the south branch of Clear
water and encamped between that and the
main river at Wail's farm. This place was
at least dozen miles beyond the Indian
lodges, on the northeastern edge of the wild,
rough plateau, before named where the
battle was destined to be fought.
Joseph WhlJebird, Hool-hool-sute, Olicut,
Josephs tall brother, and Looking glass,
who had just joined after being for some
time neutral, agreed in council that they
were now strong enough to engage the
main force. They knew now from what
direction their enemies would approach
them. They would get together, al
mounted, conceal themselves in the deer

branch and the neighboring canon. and bt

Now turn to the little column of white
men, few troops of horse, a few compa-
MES afoot, three howziters and a gatiing
gun, all told, less than single regiment of
the rebellion. With scouts well ahead and
covered with skirmishers, they moved
quietly along the unused trail; they hunt
their way slowly through an extensive for
est; they probe the rayines and crown the
few bare hills, till about noon, they merge
into comparatively open ground. Lieuten-
ant Fletcher, temporarily on the staff, takes
a sudden impulse to try his field glass. He
gallops Off to join the headmost scout. A
few hundred yards being gained, standing
on knoll TO the left of our path be catches
the first glimpse of the Indians
The general then dispatched an aide to
Captain Trimble with the instructions,
Take your troops and push straight on
westward to the river and watch out in
that direction" The aide went with Trim
BILE to scout the peninsula. General How
ard then rode over to Fletcher and saw
plainly numerous mounted Indians in mo-
ton. They seemed to have just discovered
his approach and were taking on a shadow
of formation. AS the general was looking
he said: Let the column keep well closed
up and come forward quickly.' Soon The
four pieces of artillery were at Fletcher's
knoll, and Lieutenant Otis, commanding
them, was firing, endeavoring to reach the
masses of Indians that engaged his atten-
ton. Our little column on the trail hurry
ing forward had well nigh passed the deel
canon and the cross ravine near it and were
coming together on the fiat plateau opposite
the mouth of the Cottonwood, when it was
discovered that the Indians were galloping
back as fast as they could, up the main
branch on both shores, mostly concealed by
by high banks. Their leaders turned to
the left into the Grand canon and were
passing at a run and into a cross ravine
which gave them good cover. Of course
the troops, to confront them, must
now face about, because their en-
terprising enemy is nearly in their
rear, and there IS danger of being
caught before we are ready, and also OF
their cutting off some supply pack-mules
that are bearing ammunition and food
Tired mules with heavy loads will often lag
behind and bother the best of ouartermas
tiers. 1t was just this way that the same
Indians had turned Perry's flank at White
bird. twas the same game that the Sioux
under Sitting Bull had played with Custer
in Montana. And how they now sped on
yelling and running their horses.
A moment before everybody was made tt
believe that the indians were trying to es

threw their bursting shells into the living
ravine and amid the waiting lodges beyond
the river The fugitives mainly went back
by the routes they had come, down cross
ravlnes into the large canon and thence out
into the river; but some tumbled over the
rocks and crags and sped, mounted or dis
mounted, down the toughest inclines, till
the river was alive with wading crowds Of
frightened ponies and Indians. 1t was now
, simply flight and pursuit Everything eX-
cept the cannon and packs took the foot
paths or water-courses to get first to the
branch. The Indians gained the south
bank by the time the cavalry got to the
other. The women and the herds were al
ready in full retreat, when the warriors
overlook, them, running up every hollow
that led from the river: when suddenly a
host of warriors, all mounted appeared to
be turning back ana getting ready for an
other fight. This considerably disturbed
the commander of the cavalry. Perry and
his men stopped as they emerged from the
water on the Indian side. AS they had
halted they were ordered to ferry over the
footmen, using their horses, as the water
was rather deep and swift for ford. This
was done, but the Indians return move
ment was brief: it was certainly a ruse,
and good one; for time was consumed by
it; the terrified women and children were
protected; and the cover of night soon more
thoroughly sheltered all the fugitives from
effective pursuit.
The abandoned Indian camp fell into our
hands with robes, blankets, utensils for
cooking and provisions of various kinds
The losses in killed and wounded were not
so great as one would have supposed. They
did not exceed on both sides a hundred peo-
pie, and were as afterward proved about
equally divided. Over hundred prisoners
were subsequently gathered in and sent to
Fort Vancouver as result of this battle.
1t was by this remarkable contest at the
Clearwater that the northwest was for a
time cleared of hostile Indians but it in
augurated the long chase before mentioned.
Another year of desperate war with the
Bannocks and Piutes was necessary to
procure and establish permanent peace.
