"In the meantime the most of the
Indians having secured their guns
took up position on the hillside
and from here poured in a murderOus
fire on the soldiers i'm the open below.
An order was given to retreat to a
knoll covered with timber and here
rude breastwork of dead timber
was made But the Indians We're
still above them and had to be
charged before they were driven out
of their advantageous position.
''The fight lasted all day and the
services of the civilians was then
shown. Some of them were hunters
and Others had been sharpshoOters
in the civil war, and they We're all
fine shots. 1t was more their close
and fatal shooting than anything
else that kept the Indians at bay.
Under the fire of these sharp
lugg;t,s. and lnoved up the Big Hole
river. but enough stayed behind to
keep the troops i'm check, and when
the last party of braves left on the
night of the 10th the soldiers We're
too crippled to pursue them.
In this fight the Indians numbered
about 400 braves and 80 squaws
and children. 1t is not known how
many of them were killed but from
the number who We're engaged in the
battle and from the 100 warriors who
surrendered to General miles i'm the
Bear Paw mountains, and the 10
who escaped to the British possess
sions, it is estimated that about $50
We're killed.
