the four days' battle with Indians
which commenced on December 7,

.;Ilon. G. A.. Lloyd, one of the
survivers of the Indian campaign,
of l8o5, in answer to queries ; pf a
Walla' Walla Statesman - reporter,
give him the following information
relative to the lour davs' fightt ,
The main body of the volunteers
wis stationed at JWallula. A I few
days before the engagement on the
Touchet Colonel Kelley had an en
counter with the , Indians under
reu-peu Mox-mox,1 on what. 13
known as lower Eureka Flat. The
wily old Indian chief camo; very
near entrapping Col. Kelly's troops
in a narrow , canyon where they
would have fallen an easy prev to
the savages'. 1 " ' ,! u ' " ;
On the morning of December 6,
1855, Major Chin, with three com
panies consisting of 170 men, was
sent forward bv Col. Kelly , to ro-
conhoiter the position of the Indi
ana. The Indians, ; probably oOOO
strong,., were found occupying a
bluff on the Touchet, about a , mile
from where the railroad now cros
ses the stream, Without waiting
for the main body of troops to come
up, Major Chin's little bandcharg-,
ed the Indians' position. The In
diana were armed with muskets
and bows.. The muskets were load
ed with slugs, which made a flitter
ing noise as' they passed through
the air. The Indians' concealed
themselves in the tall grass and
the whites lay down behind clumps
of greese wood: Some Indians had
on their heads a covering of bunch
grass, thus simulating the vegeta
tion around them. The Indians
gradually fell back! with the cIosq
pursuit. Theuiidiaris had planned
to lead the, white troops into am
bush where they would bo sur
rounded and massacred by the
overpowering force of the savages.
liut so not was tne tight mado on
them by the whites 'that the whole
body of Indians retreated farther

This fighting ; continued . until
December 10th, the Indians falling
back as far as Frenchtown, where
they 'gayejip thq fight and scatter
ed in every direction. '
The whites built ' JV stockade at
Frenchtown and prepared to prose
cute the campaign. Bodies of fedi
eral troops were sent out under dif
ferent commanders, but these regu-1
ars usually, met defeat at the
hands of the, Indiana. The Indi

Death of Pannocke.
An official inquiry Into the cause"
of the death of Pannocke,, son-in-
aw of Chief Poo, has bogun before
ndian Agent Harper aud the cap
tain of the Indian police at . the
agency on the Umatilla reservation.
Peo is inclined to the opinion that
Pannocke was foully dealt with,
and he desires a full investigation
into the matter. It is thought that
someone went out from Pendleton
with him the night ho fell from his
horse and was frozen to death, and
the polico will endeavor to ' ascer
tain the name of thiV person and
also the names of the saloonkeepers
who sold liquor to Pannocke. V;-

On Saturday evening, in the
Christian church at Helix, under
,the direction of J. L. Basye, there
was given a musical and literary en
tertainment for tho benefit of Elder
Gray, pastor of the church. It- was
a very creditable affair, reflecting
considerable credit upon the gentle
men who had charge of it and per
sonally trained most of tho parti
cipants, and secured by indefatig
able effort and the exercise of good
judgment, an entertainment .which
