No Farther Mercy Shown to the Red | Deyils By the Troops—At Least 50 Indians Killed so Far as Known. | 29.—Bright and early were the troops up this morning. At eight o'clock they were ordered to be in readiness. At that hour the cavalry and dis mounted troops were massed about the Indian village, the Hotchkiss guns overlooking the camp not fifty yards away. Colonel Forsythe ordered all the ndians to come forward away from the tents. They formed in a half circle and were counted. The dismounted troops were then thrown around them—company K. Captain Wallace, and company B. Captain Varnum—and the order was given to 20 Indians to go and get their guns. Upon returning it was seen that only two guns were brought Detachments at once began to search the village, resulting in thirty-eight guns being found. ‘TREACHERY BY THE RED DEVILS. As this task was about completed, the Indians surrounded by compa- nies K and B began to move. All of a sudden they threw their hands | to the ground and began firing rap-| idly at the troops not twenty feet away. The troops were at a great | disadvantage, fearing shooting their | own comrades. issourl State OF BUTLER, MO. CRE! | To say that it was a most daring MASSACRE! . jing.

The Indian men, omen and chil- dven then ran to the south, the bat- tery firing rapidly as they ran. Soon the mounted troops went | after them, shooting them down on | every side. The engagement lasted fully an hour anda half. To the south many took refuge in a ravine A from which it was difficult to dige B lodge them. ' It is estimated that the soldiers killed and wounded number about tifty. Just now it is impossible to state tne exact number of dead Indians. There are many more than fifty, how- ever, killed outvight. The soldiers are shooting the Indians down wherever found, vo quarter being given by anyone. CAPTAIN WALLACE ONE OF Captain Wallace.
