Helena, Mont, Oct. lit has been
known for some time at Poplar that a
band OF horse thieves was camping
on the Peck reservation north of Pop
lar and that it has horses in its pos
session belonging to both Indians and
white men there. The camp had been
located, but no one was allowed to ap-
proach 1t as the outlaws would fright
en- them off.
At last the whole Indian police was
mounted and sent to the outlaws camp
with instructions to get what they
went after. An engagement has
just taken place between the police
and outlaws and two of the latter
were killed and two wounded. The
ones shot are known as Duffy and
Shufelt. The names OF the wounded
are unknown as are the details of the
