FRONTIER FIGHTERS

buggieg very clow w the hides. 1 bred et
his feathers end be dodged "round to the
I, other aide of the pile : this brought him
within range of the guns from Ruth's house
' sed he tune forted to dodge back again, In
this manner we kept him in bot water about
ten minute*.
1 then fired .t his horse, which dropped
at the first crack of the girt. I could then
see the lodtso • little plainer, or lathe:,
oould tell better where he was st.odisg,
behind the pile of bides, by his head
feathers. 1 was shooting • buffalo run,
knows as ' Sharp's bog fifty.' (;usast•g at
hie position as well •e i could, l fired right
through the bides et bum. 1 must have
soorched him, for he immediately broke
trom hu hiding plata, ran about 15 steps
end then dropped in the grass. He gave •
short yelp like • coyote et every lump.
After the fight was over we found nine dead
Indians lying in • space • but ed yards
square. 1\'heo we bad got rid of the In-
dians around the buildings we began firing
at long range, and drove them out of sight
over the hills. 1 went over from the saloon
to Kath's budding. and found they had bar-
rioaded the door with sacks of flour. While
looking out from this enmities, 1 aotioed
something moving et the bass of the hills,
about eight hundred yards away. I fired
several shots before I could get the rung*
right, sad thea the object stopped moving.
When the fight was over I went out to see
what I bad been shooting at, and found it
was • dead Iodine ; be had his knee crushed
with • bullet, and he lied trawled sad drag-
ged himself a quarter of • mile when 1 hit
him a central shot through the breast sad
iaiahed him.
It is impossible to say what the ler of
the lediw amounted to, but I think it
must have ban very heavy, for besides the
thirteen dead ones left Ito the field, there
were found behind the hills many indioe-
tiese of wounded Indians. At one plata e
lot of clothing. Stroh as moccasins, loggia,
blankets, etc., had bass cut up and destroy-
ed ; the fragments were bloody, and from
them indications 1 judge that many of the
labium' had,died of their emends, .ad their
effects were destroyed because they could
not he carried off.
The warriors were from the Oe�(ieftes,
Kiowss, Cheyennes and Apaches. Thar
object was to plunder the stores, as they
h ad leased that there were Isrge quantities
of ammunition then. The previous night
one of the medicine men ot the Comanches
had held • medicine dance to determine the
advisability of attacking the place, and had
declared in favor of it, telling the Indians
that the medicine was go strong that all
they would have to Jo was to ride up and
knock their intended victims on the heed
while asleep.
They came very near sueoeediag : had
they been fifteen minutes earlier, or had it
not been tor the cracking of the ridge log
is the saloon, which aroused the sleeper.
their medicine would have been • snooze.
The Adobe Walla were soon after abandon-
ed se • levelling post. end the buffalo
hunters nearly broken up on account of the

emooem of every expedition •r•tnet indium

and intelligence of the men smpioyed as

ue lity dependent on them for good routes
