THE OMAHA POWDER RIVER EXPEDITION, Thrilling Account of General Con- ner's Rald on the Indians. LS BARBARITIES OF THE REDSKINS. Nick O'Brien's Plucky Charge on an Overwhelming Host—Indian War Dances—Sionx and Pawneca Battle--Fights with Grizziies, Captain Palmer's Story. The following interesting sketch of the Powder river Indian expedition is taken from the memoranda of that cam- paign made by Captain H. E. Palmer, one of the officers in command, and de- seribes his first experiences with the Indians and their wethods of warfare: “In 2August, 1864, 1 was detailed to take a detachment of soldiers to Fort Kearney. On our way out near Big Sandy, now Alexandria, Thayer county, Nebraska, we met a party of freighters and stage couch passengers on horse- back, and a number of ranchmen fleoing from the Little Blue valley. They tola wus that the Tndians were just in their rear and had massnered a large number of people— none knew how many, We pushed on to the Littie Blue and next day in pass- ing Bubank’s ranch a sickening sight met our eyes. Three little children, from three to seven years old, had been TAKEN BY THE HEELS and swung around against the rough logs of the cabin, beating their heads to a porfect ‘i(: . The young woman em- ployed ‘in the family was found staked outon the prairie, tied by her hands and feet, naked, her body full of arrows and horribly mangled. Not fur from her lay the body of Bubank, his head cut off and his body fearfully mutilated. The buildings had heen fired und the Tuing wée yet smoking. “*Nearly the same scene of desolation and murder was witnossed at Spring Ranch. This raid on the RBlue was made by Cheyennes under the command of Black Kettle, One-Eyed George Bent, Two Face and others. M Eu- bank and Miss Laura Roper were car- ried away captives and were not run- somed until the following January. I bad known Mrs. Eubank for three years, huving wmet her in the spring of 1861, just after she had moved from Ohio to brave the dangers of pioneer life. She was a fine-looking woman, full of youth, beauty and strength, but u short time married, and with bright prospects for the future. After her rescuc from the redsikins I hardly knew her. She was crushed in spirit and ALMOST A MANIAC. Her hair was gray, her face gave evi- e of painful suffering and her back s of raw sores from her neck st where she had been beaten. of Chief Two Face and two warriors paid the penalty for the in- human cruelties she had suffered as we strung them up to the neavest tree when they came after the ransom mon “A few days later the military and stage station at Julesburg was attacked by the Indians. Captain Nick O’Brien was in command of the troops which numbered all told fifty-one men. The Indians, composed of Sioux and Chey- ennes to the number of one thousand, ran the stage into the station killing a man and o horse. Captain O'Brien left a sergeant and twelve men in the fort to handle the two pieces of artillery, and left with the remaining thirty- nine men to face the thousand blood-thirsty savages. As the handful of men neared the top of the hill they saw the overpowering host that they were to meet, but never flinched. The Indians charged upon them with great fury. but the little band met them with eaual fierceness, and in o brief contest left SIX1Y REDSKINS LYING DEAD on the.plain. Fourteen soldiers were killed, and fearing that the remainder might meet the same fate. Captain ©O’Brien ordered his force to fall back, which they did in good order. The in- dinns attempted to cut them off from the fort, and came very neur doing so. The men finally gained the fort and held the enemy ut bay with the artil- lery—two mountain howitzevs. *Night put an end to the conflict and when morning came again it was dis- covered that the Indians had® left the scene. The soldiers went out tofind the bodies of their dead comrades and dis- covered them mutilated beyond recog- nition, their fingers, toes and ears cut off, their mouths tlled with powder and agnited und every conceivable indig- ity committed on their persons.” ‘*At Laramie General Moonlight or- ganized an expedition to punish these marauding Indians, but the raid proved a failure through the grossest misman- agement. In the following summer General Conner sent out a force of 404 soldiers and 145 Indians to do the work delegated to Moonlight. The troops left Laramie July 80, and on the teenth of the following month disco: ered. A WAR PARTY OF SIOUX, and the soldiers gave them a running fight, the Pawnees under command of Captain North being in, the van. Our ‘war party outnumbered the enemy, and the Pawnees. thirsty for biood and de- sitous of getting even with their old cnemy, the Sioux, rode like mad devils, drovped useless paraphernelia, and rushed into the fight half naked,whoop- ing, Lowling und shooting. Twenty- four scalps were taken and considerablo lunder,” The Pawnces were on hovse- uck twenty-four hours and did not leave the trail until they overtook the enemy. On their retunn to tamp they exhibited the most suvago signs of delight, riding with the bloody scalps tied to the end of sticks, whooping and yelling like 80 many demons. In the ovening they hud a war dance instead of retiring to rest, although they had been up more than l.hh»t,ykh urs. The war dance was the most suvage.scene 1 had ever wit- nessed. The ‘mrlh-ipnnu formed a cir- cle and danced around a fire, holding up bloody nuul‘)s brandishing their hatchets and o; ibiting the spoils of the fight. During the dance they kept howling ‘hoo yah, hoo yah, hoo yah, hoo yah,' accompanying their vaices with the diu of the wm-tom, a rude sort of a drum, They kept up the dance, at fivst wuch to our amusement, until long after midnight und were only quicted after considerable lon by their commander.

Our Lady of Guadalope and Her Won- drous Picture—The Palaci—New Mexico Lt gends—Wickedness of Dame House. In and About Santa Fe. SANTA F) . M., June 25.—[Special to Tue B —The residents of Santa Fe date the Furopean settlement of the place from Coronado’s occupation in 1540, and easily claim the oldest city in the United States. The occupation was interrupted by the rebellious natives, but the Franc ablished a mis- ¢ion that hias come down to this day. They are credited with the erection of San Miguel soon after their arrival. SAN MIGUEL is the oldest church in the country and one of the oddest. Itis made of the universal building materi of New Mexico—mud. The mud is molded into large bricks, which are hardened in the sun. Burned brick were unknown until af recent yearss Some Americans have large adobef plastered and penciled in immitation o- northern brick, bu t others, more fastid ious, have not been content short of the gonvine icie. . The durability of the mud watls is mplitied by n Miguel, which, though partially destroyed in several wurs, has retained portions of its original walls for nearly 350 years, across the way from it, on the side of a street as wide as our alley stands THE OLDE in the United States.

Students of history are fre- quently asked to note how the Saxons f England absorbed their conquerors, the Normans, and the process is said to be unique in the annals of man. The history of Mexico affords a strikingly similar case with reference to the Spun- iurds. The early establishment OF A MISSION AT SANTA F made it a religious center and it has had a Catholic bishop for two hundred years. The bishop’s garden is one of the sights of th . I is filled with u variety of trees and by means gation is a bower of gréen in mid-sum- mer when all other vegetation is scorched and yellow. The oid cathed- ral was constructed of mud, but a mod- ern building with shrines and other pe- culiarities of castigation has taken its place within five enrs. Its walls were built about the old cathedral which grad- ually enclosed by the new. The old structure was dingy enough with its mud walls, hewn timbers and rough floor; but it had a curious altar-pice stone, rudely carved with saints scrolls. Another of its curiositie image of Our Lady of Guadaloupe, patron saint of Mexico, that ligures in 4 quaint, superstitious custom. On the bank of the creek, some distance from the cathedral, is a chapel dedic Our Lady. It is an adobe, of cours in the shape of a cross and of the rud- est construction. Back of the altar is o painting said to be very old. In its center is a portrait of the snint sur- rounded by views illustrating her legend. The story as told in THE BEE several weeks ago by a correspondent writing from Guadaloupe, near the City of Mexico, varies somewhat from the tra- dition 1n its northern form, but that is not strange considering the distance and the age of the story. The Jegend goes that in the fifteenth century an Indian, Juan Diego. living near Guad- aloupe, had a vision in which the Blessed Virgin appeared and . com- manded him to build a chapel near by, giving him detailed instructions about its construction. He went to the bishop with hls story and was luughed to scorn. A second night he had the vision, and was again turned away by the ecclesiustical ther, who intimated that he was the vietim of an evil spirit. Therefore when he had the dream a third time he tried to run aw; but the Virgin suid she would give him a token that would force the bishop to helieve. She com- manded him to go upon the mountaivs, pick the flowers he would find there and take them to the holy father. It was winter theu, and even in summer the mountains round about grew noth- ing but cactug, but the Indian went. He found flowers growing in abundance, and filled a blanket with them. He went to the bishop, told his experience and opeued his blauket to produce his proof, when, lo and behold! instead of flowers, there was upon the blanket the lines and tints of A WONDROUS PICTURE. Such a direct communication from the Virgin could not be ignored by her devout worshipers, and the chupel” was erected. The church has been pillaged more than once, but the picture maiug. the object of the superstitious awe of the simple-minded navive The Santa Fe painting isa copy of Juun's miraculous picture, In the early just before the the fmuge of the Virgin is carried - from the cathedral to the chapel.

CELEBRATION OF CORY CHRISTI is another interesting church event in Santa Fe. After the services in the church peculiar to the occasion, priests and beliovers form na procession to march about the town. decorate their buildings gmly.and erect rude altars in front of their homes. The column halts at the altars for prayers by the priests, who ure Powardad by money considerations. In the evening there are fireworks and general me making.
