N.W.SO- flRlT I Jar7 On last Saturday afternoon the Indians of Lemhi agency, with some of their red brethren from Fort Hall, who are visiting them, had a sham bat tle. The exhibition took place on the flat near the high bridge, and was participated in by about two hundred warriors. They had been getting ready for the fray for several days, and appeared in all the glory of paint of every hue, and bad their horses decorated in the same manner. Three dif ferent battles were fought j in the first two, the charge and the skirmish, the Indians were mounted, while in the last, a tight at close quarters, the war riors were on foot. This fighting was just the same as in real battles in every particular, even to robbing and scalping the dead, an exhibition of wMch was given that made the blood of the spectators run cold. About seventy-five white people gathered to witness the novel sight, and felt am ply repaid for their trip. The Indians were very friendly and went about to the carriages and shook bands with many of the people, and appeared very proud to have such a large and appreciative audience.-Wafto Recorder. J. D.
