) VOTERS OE THE FIRST WARD:
We are fellow citizens interested in the advance of Gold
Hill. By the abuse of authority, and the mischance of location
on the city plat, we have been deprived of the right of petition.
Our advice has been rejected—our candidate spurned—our re­
spectful suggestions, upon our o w n business, ridiculed and
denied. Certain officers of the City of Gold Hill have carried
their discourtesy to the point of tyranny. With the facts you
are familiar.
The offenders are councilmen from your w ard—the F irst

stead they have represented merely their own stubborn and mis­
guided opinion. Upon the unoffending Second ward has fallen
the burden of their bull-headedness.

(If the battle proper the general says, in
part: “ As day began to break on August
2Sth, and enable me to make out the
ground beneath us, I found that the te­
pees were in the form of an open \ , with
the apex toward ns, extending along a
large creek (headwaters of the Missouri
river), some two or three hundred yards
from us. The intervening spai-e between
the eamp and the foot of the slope upon
which we stood, was almost entirely cov
ered with a dense growth of willow brush,
in the grassy space« of which herds of
p mies were grazing. A deep slough,
with water in places waist deep, wound
through this bottom and had to he cross­
ed before t h e stream itself could be
reached.
“ Suddenly a single shot rang o u t on
the extreme left, on the clear morning
air, followed quickly b y several others,
and the whole line pushed rapidly for
ward through the brush. A heavy fire
was at once opened along the whole line
of tepees; pandemonium reigned, the
startled Indians rushing from them in
every direction. Many of the Indians
fled tor the brush, and sheltering them
selves behind the creek bank, opened fin
on the troops as they came into the open.
“ As Logan and the right of the line
swept forward our men hurled themselves
at the backs of these Indians, and here
tiie greatest slaughter took place. But
the Indians by no means hail given up
the fight, and while a portion of the com­
mand was engaged in setting fire to the
tepees rifle shots came upon us from every
direction—the brush, the creek bank, the
open prairie, and the distant hills. At
almost every crack of a rifle some mem
1 st of the command was sure to fall.”
The fight lasted a l l day and night,
