about 400 men, then retreated back to the
fort fighting every inch of the way, bring
ing along their dead and wounded. ..
The Indians made several desperate
charges and attacks after the party reached
the fort, but were at last repulsed with
heavy loss, artillery being freely used,
which they could not stand. The fight
lasted nearly day and was bloody. Our
men lost many killed and wounded, but the
Indians were severely punished, and at last
Withdrew, carrying away all their dead and
wounded.
The Indians were not pursued, as there
was not cavalry enough at the fort to risk a
chase. Portions of the 9th and 7th Iowa
(dismounted), some companies of the 4th
U. S. Vols. (ex-rebel infantry and many
of our recovered sick that had been left at
the fort, took part in the fight and were
praised for their bravery and courageous
defense against such great odds by Gen.
Sully in general order.

GUARD MURDERED BY INDIANS.
Aug. 29.-We are camped opposite Fort
Rice, in the timber. We have been paid off
and have been supplied with some clothing
to replace our wornout and ragged uni
forms. Skulking bands of Indians are
continually lowering around and have
succeeded in stampeding some Of our horses
and mules. We have sent several parties
out to overtake them, but without success.
One Of our men, Jamison, of Co. c., was
murdered near camp by one OF these rowing
| bands. He was guarding grazing horses,
| when the Indians crawled up to him and
| finished him with arrows. He was not
found until the next day, when he was
buried with military honors. He was a
loyal, brave soldier and good, true com
rade.

A MARROW ESCAPE.

Clarke managed TO pass alongside of n
huge bull that was running alone, and
popped at him with Colts navy revolver,
hitting him, but not in a vital spot. In
stantly the old bull turned and made a
wicked charge on our bugler, and for a
few seconds it looked as if horse and rider
were gone. The pony became so scared
at the sight of a mad, wounded bull that it
lost its head, and Clarke could do nothing
to induce him to run or dodge. The pony
just bucked, and. rearing on his hind-legs,
turned around like top, while the in
frriated buffalo plunged up to within few
feet of horse and rider.
Just at this critical moment one of our
men fired, and by a lucky shot broke the
bulls shoulder, and down he came close
TO the pony, which was still hopping around
on his hind-legs like kangaroo. 1t was
a close shave for Clarke.

arrived.
The Filipinos in the meantime con
centrated at three points, CalOCan, Cd

With daylight the Americans ad
