Evans, U. 8; A., soon found when he rode Into the field to dispose Ms forces at S o'clock In the morning. The Third Oregon, under Major John L. May, of Portland, and the. Fourth, under Colonel George A. Yoran, of Eugene, had marched the necessary six miles from Cosgrove and were In position. But the Colonel's own regi ment, the Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry (colored), was not on hand, much to his dismay. There was no time to lose, so the Oregonlans were hurriedly projected Into the advance, a place Intended for the crack Twenty-fifth. As the Red Army' was moving to meet the Blue Army In this order, the missing regiment caught up, having gone astray In the heavy timber en route from Cosgrove. The Oregon men were then changed to the right wing, which place they held throughout the day. The. conditions of the battle were these: The Blue Army, under Colonel Mc- Gunnegle, U 8. A- was en route from Tacoma to Olympla, convoying 81 wag ons with treasure and supplies. The force was made up of the First VS. 8. Infantry, Third Battalion of the Sec ond U. S.

This force was made up of the Oregon regiments, two troops of the First Cavalry, a battery of the Sec ond Field Artillery, the Fourteenth and Twenty-fifth U. 8. Infantry regiments. and the necessary detachments. On going into the field neither com mand had any definite Information con cerning the other. This information had to be developed by extensive re- connolssance and scouting. The two armies began creeping together at a point eight miles south and east of Cosgrove. The first contact was a brisk artillery duel, which developed a secondary attack by the Oregon regi ments on the left wing of the Blue Army. An interval of 1000 yards separated the two forces and both were well screened by timber and underbrush when the Oregonlans suddenly deployed across a broad field and advanced. The Blue Army hurriedly concentrated sev eral battalions and some, artillery to keep the Oregonlans from breaking through and taking the $150,000 wagon train. This action was brisk and lasted an hour, while Colonel Evans hurried the main body of bis troops on to strike the i Blues In front. Hypothetically, the Ore gon losses were very great at this point, for heavy shrapnel and infantry fire was concentrated upon them. Advancing to within $00 yards of the enemy's flank, they halted in a declivity and pounded away until the main attack developed In the van. First Infantry Annihilated.

The First infantry of the Blue army here got under an overwhelming fire and was pronounced by. the umpires to be completely annihilated. With a regiment gone, the Blues were markedly handicapped. - The Bed forces pressed their advantage with every man firing as fast as he could work bolt ana trigger. The umpires eventually gave the signal to cease firing, and tne en gagement was closed. It was the Judgment of umpires rather- than the operations of the grim reaper that determine the effectiveness of the various movements. All umpires were officers of wide experience and they were able to figure approximately what the effect of the different actions would be in actual warfare. When recall was sounded and the troops began assembling, the Fourth Ore gon appeared with a platoon 01 regu lar engineers which it had captured. There were many patrols taken during the day. but this was the only Instance where a full platoon was trapped.
