DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
A Graphic Account of the Battle by Col.
r. j. Sheehan.

| A Graphic Account of the Battle by Col.
r. j. sheehan.
Walker, Mimi. Oct. 6.-Col. T. J.
Sheehan, deputy marshal. who was
wounded in Wednesdays fight, arrived
here to-day and gives a graphic ac-
count of the action up to the time he
started back. He says:
I'VE landed about 1 o'clock yesterday
and on the southeast point of the
mainland. directly north of Bear ISL
and. Near the shore Is the log house
of Bug-Ah- -Mah-Ge-Shik. General Ba-
con left IL soldiers along the shore to
protect the landing place. and the re-
mainder of the troops marched across
the point to the west side and along
the shore for a couple OF miles. look
ing for some Indians who had been
seen. / remained behind with my in
terpreters and arrested an Indian
wanted near the house and sent him to
the boat. While / was talking with
other Indians. i saw six bucks, armed
with winchesters, come out of the
house and go away inland. They did
not speak to me, although / was their
agent for five years. and feared trou-
BILE and called to the IL soldiers. who
were scattered along the shore. About
that time General Bacon returned with
the troops. Half of the men stacked
arms and the order was given to un-
load their equipments. As they did
So a shot was fired and firing almost
Immediately began. The soldiers formed
in a line in a semi-circle facing the In
dians, and the IL men who were with
me rushed up to protect the right flank
and drove the Indians back. securing
a favorable position. One of these men
was shot in the face. one in the arm
and a third in the leg. I do not know
Row the other men were wounded.
After our first rush we had the best
OF the position. The log house was in
side our lines and II was used as a hos
pital and the men sought the cover Of
logs and trees and settled down for a
long fight. 1t continued during the day
and evening and was renewed this
morning, although 1t was never so hot
as during the first hour or so. This
morning a boat made a landing with
some provisions. and General Bacon
wanted TO send the wounded back. He
sent me down TO arrange matters and I
went out to the steamer In a canoe. I
brought down one wounded man and
the captain of the boat brought him of
shore. but before the others could be
moved the Indians opened a hot fire on
the boat and We had to leave. About
six miles out we met the Flora going in
with 30 or more armed men and every
thing the soldiers needed. When / left
there had been five killed and eight
wounded besides the Indian policeman
Three men were sick. / don't know the
names Of any Of the killed or wounded
except Major Wilkinson.
General Bacon handled his men mag
nificently and was on the first lne dur
ing the whole engagement. encouraging
his men and directing the operations.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-10-07

General Bacon. Apprehend no need for
further achievements. unless to send
to vicinity OF Leech lake dam to cut of
escape of Indians. Would suggest that
authority be given to utilize one bat
talon Minnesota volunteers in case OF
need. Report just received OF arrival
Of Colonel Horbach's command at Walk
er. about 4 o'clock. Sturgis. the assist
ant adtutant general in the absence of
the department commander"
The request TO use a battalion of the
Minnesota volunteers was promptly
granted and the department commander
can have his pick from either the 18th
or 18th state regiments. One Is at New
Ulm and the other at st. Paul awaiting
their muster out. General Corbin feels
that there will not be any necessity to
use the men of these regiments how
ever. as the regulars will be sufficient
for all purposes.
During the evening Secretary Bliss re-
ceived the following teiegram from In
spector Tinker. which indicates that re-
Inducements have reached Walker,
which Is 80 miles or less from the scene
of the fighting:
Two hundred and fifteen officers and
men have just arrived with one Calling
gun. Have heard nothing from the bat
tleground since morning. Two boats
left to go to General Bacon's assistance
and have not returned VIII wire full
particulars later"

He was ably seconded by Major WIKI
inson until he was killed, and Lieuten-
ant Ross. under fire for the first time,
showed himself a born fighter. He ral-
lied the men at the opening volley and
stayed right with them all the time. 1t
Is impossible to tell how many Indians
are In the attacking party. but / should
say not less than $50 or 200. and Wa do
not know how many more are joining
them. They evidently had the thing all
planned out and were ready to begin
firing at the signal They concentrated
part of their fire on the boats to drive
them away and leave the soldiers no
means of retreat, evidently think
ing they could overpower the whole
force. The newspaper men, Brill, Bea-
ton and knappen, were all in good
shape when i left, doing their share OF
duty on the line. No one of them had
been injured"
Several of the small boats and the
steamer Flora went out during the
night and early this morning to en-
deavor to land provisions for General
Bacon's beleaguered command and
bring away the dead and wounded The
Flora had 80 Brainerd fighters and "A
few other armed citizens. The Vera
alone succeeded in effecting the pur-
pose of the trip. Harris McCabe. cap
tain OF the Vera, made a landing off the
north end of Bear island. where the
troops are entrenched, landing a suffi-
cient quantity of provisions TO relieve
immediate necessities of the men.
An attempt was made to bring down
some of the wounded. The steamer
could not approach close to the shore
and 1t was necessary to use a small
boat. One man was brought across
the open, but the Indians concentrated
their fire on this point and on the boat.
The place was too hot and McCabe was
forced to leave.
During the engagement Colonel Shee-
han received a slight flesh wound across
the abdomen. a bullet through his coat
sleeve and another through his trouser
leg. Major Wilkinson was killed yes
terday afternoon. He received a flesh
wound in the leg and retired to have
II dressed by DIR. Harris. the surgeon.
He then reported to General Bacon on
the firing line as ready for duty. and
while talking with General Bacon an
Indian sharpshooter picked him out.
Major Wilkinson was shot through the
body from side to side and died almost
instantly.
The agency Indians have been dis
posed to be peaceful up to to-day, but
last night one of the Indian police was
killed by the troops by mistake and
the Indians are now disposed to be hos
tile. The occurrence was most unfor-
tunate, but IL is hard to see how any
blame can attach to the troops. The
Indian policeman, Rustlin, who was
said to be one of the best OF the agen-
cy Indians, had accompanied the troops
and had fought valiantly. but towards
night he thought he had enough of II
and started with another Indian police
man for the agency along the shore
without notifying General Bacon. He
was seen in the darkness by the troops
and taken for hostile. He was riddled
with bullets. but his companion escap-
ed uninjured. This incident has made
the agency Indians very angry and a
council is said to be in progress to-
night.

LITTLE INFORMATION.
Indians Have the Best of the Position at
Leech Lake.

Washington, Oct. s-Up TO o'clock
tonight there has been no information
received by the war department officials
from General Bacon. During the even
ing. however. the department received
from the generals adjutant, now at St
Paul. the following telegram. giving a
summary OF conditions as far as that
officer was able 10 obtain them:
I'm answer TO a telegram TO the Unit
ed States marshal at Walker. Mimi,

General Bacon on he mainland at the
southwest corner Of Leech lake, and
saying: Commenced fighting at II 30
yesterday. Indians seem TO have best
position. Not moving. Major Wllkin-
son. five soldiers and two Indian police
killed. Awaiting reinforcements'
The press dispatches and private
Western Union dispatches seem to sup
port these statements about the killed.
Reinforcements will doubtless reach the
command this evening. Reliable infor-
nation indicates that the Indians are
quiet in the vicinity Of the Leech dams
to the northwest. No report yet from

When Informed that IL was. he said
that he was astonished and asked for
the name OF the author. He said in this
connection that occasional complaints
had come to him, which he examined

founded.

some further questions. you consider

He expressed the opinion that II was
impossible for any foreign troops to do
any great amount of campaigning in
Cuba In the summer months on account
Of the heat.
Captain Howell asked General Lee IL
he considered that he had been side

IT don't think so," replied General
Lee. II have from time to time seen
something in the newspapers to the ef-
feet that IL was not the intention of
the authorities that I should have an
opportunity for active participation In
the campaign. I. OF course. had no
claim to go to Santiago or Porto Rico.

He continued by saying that the
president had told him within the past
few days that he had always intended
To send him to Havana. and In case
there had been an assault upon the
city, that he should have led IL.
