II never told you, did IT, continued the
Colonel. 'of our great fight with the In
dams at pono Creek in the spring of IS
we were marching 10 relieve Fort Cart
wright, and had with us Jos provision
wagons. The scouts brought I'm word on
Sunday. the Eighteenth of April. that
the fort had been taken by the redskins.
The scouts further informed us that the
Indians had now sailed forth and tray
cling by a circuitOus route. intended TO
surprise us that night. our method Of
encampmcnt had been to draw up the Jos
wagons side by side in the form Of rec
tangle, and within the llrricade thus
formed our whole force of l00O men was
inclosed- with no room TO spare. It
seems that the Indians had heard Of our
method and now expected by sudden
attack % annihiiate u.s. But the general
was too cute 90 be caught ln bis own
trap. lie had tho wagons drawn up as
usual I'm the form Of q rectangle, but
Withdrew an his men. onc-half under
my comma nd took possession some dis
self led the remainder and had them COM
cealed I'm ambush. Then as the Indians
dashed towards the camp with their save
age war wh0Ops. the general attacked
them from tho west while we fell upon
them from the rear. The result was q
. terrible massacre. Thousands OF them
must have been slain. More than 1000
were taken prisoners. None OF our men
were Killed and only 5j wounded. Tho
general ordered me 10 take small force
and return with the wounded in 5 wagons
10 the garrison at B.. Tho next
night, I am told, the General followed
hts usual plan an cncamping. Tie drew
up the remaining 100 wagons side by side
as before and still ina the form OF a rect
angle. and inclOsed the 1900 men Chcre
being more than 1000 prisoners so that,
while the number of wagons was less
than before three times as many men as
before were inclOsed. 1 have never met
anyone who could tell me how De would
