Both com InaEis camped nsrs and A. late hour news that ;hs camp ~-s found 7 bucke and .quaws being in the band. Mr. Slaughter and Au,hur Fisher bsiug notified at once, came 10 the scene sni iDin.d the command.
 The same plan O; tactics were em- piov.d to surround ,be camp as the !ast a.tacs but were 60 handicapped by tEe prscipi.sbie character c. the country tie perpsEdiculsr or over hanging rccks and sbruc, deciivities making it an almost impossioil,iy to get cl,.s-r than ieng rAngs s.ot in fact SD much 60 l; la . mystery how the lnclsns c0ulf get te their point oi eminencs sR4 commanding view with ;nsI: animais snl pacss. Strict orders were siyen by Lieu's. AverIli and R:ce tha, under no circumstances should squsw te killed bu. a buck could he shot on sight.

 The hsr buck in escaping lodged behind an immense rock just in time a. fully ;sn bullets left th,ir marks on tie edge of the protecting rock. Once away from she little space where their camp was formed their escape va, good ss i, Is impossible to even see them on account of the ibickst trees snd rocks.
