Battled With Indiana on
the Frontier.

the recovery of
Money.
the above
A. P. Woodard, -who reside near
Atheua, and who came to this part
of the west 63 years ago and partici
pated in many of the battles with the
Indians in Washington, Idaho and
Oregon as a private in Company B,
stationed at Walla Walla, fought in
the battle of Walla Walla under Col
onel Kelly. In speaking of the affair
to the eorrestpondent of the Spokesman-Be
view be said:
"The first shot was fired by a mem
ber of jry company called 'Jont,' and
it was promptly retnrned by the In
dians, when a running battle ensued.
The Indians fled in the direction of
the Walla Walla river and fired con
tinually upoa the pursuers as they
went. They continued up the stream
for a distance of about seven miles
from where the fight began. As the
Indians fell back in their retreat their
numbers seemed to increase, and
they oontinned to fire a few shots at
the volnnteers from the bushes on Dry
creek a short distance below where
the railroad now crosses that stream.
This caused a temporary check in the
extreme advance, and the Indians
continued some four miles beyond Dry
creek, where they made their first
stand, taking shelter in an old log
cabin formerly owned and occupied
by a Frenchman named La fiocque,
whish has long ago been torn down
and removed, the historio site now be
ing owned by Bomane Bimellard.
Here a desperate straggle ensued, the
was steadily driven forward for two
miles, where it took possession of a
farmhouse and close fenoe, in attempt
ing to carry which Captain Bennett of
Company C and Private Kelso of
Company A were killed."
The battle terminated in favor of
the volunteers.
In 1872 Mr. Woodard says he helped
to locate the line of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, starting at Wallnla and
running to Pasco and on through the
sandhills to Spokane. The work was
udder the direction of Captain East
wick, chief engineer. He regarded
Captain Eastwick s a very compe
tent, far seeing man. In proof of this
he cites the case of his reaching the
point at Spokane falls, when Captain
Eastwick said, as he threw down his
pack and oast his eyes on the falls and
the surrounding country.
"Bight here, mark my word, and re
member what I am telling you, some
day you will see a great city built up,
and those falls will furnish the
power to cary on some of the greatest
line of battle extending from the hills
at the north aoross the flat to the
river."
Mr. Woodard has the following re
port of what occurred at this time by
Colonel Kelly, the officer in com
mand:
"When the volunteers reached this
point there were not more than 40 or
50 men, being those mounted on the
fleetest horses. Upon these the In
dians poured a murderous fire from
the brushwood and willows along the
river and from the sagebrush along
the plains, wounding a number of the
volunteers. The men fell back
Tbe moment was critical. They were
commanded to cross tbe fence which
surrounds tbe La Bocque field and
charge upou tbo Indians iu tbe bush.
"In executing this order Lieutenant
Burrows of Company H was killed
and Captain Munsou of Company I,
Isaac Miller, sergeant major, and Q.
W. Smith, of Company B, were
wonuded. A dispatch having been
sent to Captain Wilson of Company
A to come forward, he and his com
pany came up on a gallop, dismounted
at a slough, and with fixed bayonets
pushed on through tbe bnsb. In the
course of half au hour Captain Ben
nett was on the ground with Company
F, and with bis assistance the enemy
industries this country has ever wit-
Heated." He urged Mr. Woodard to
take up a homestead claim at this
Boint. savins: "Some day it will
make you a rich man."
But Mr. Woodard said he was not
ready to settle down ; he wanted to be
on tbe ho. As a iurtner inducement
the caDtain offered to survey out for
. . . . 3 IIT1.
mm a quarter section, aaaing: jw
member my prediction; you will
Rome dav see one of the largest cities
in the west built up right here. "
Mr. Woodard says: "That man
knew a srreat deal or else he was a
miibty good gnesser."
Mr. Woodard says he baa often
wondered if Captain Estwick lived to
witness the fulfillment of his prophesy
regarding the building of tbe city of
Srmkane on tbe banks of the river at
tbe falls.
Entrymea Disappearing.
The government has instituted pro
ceedings to cancel 14 timber entries on
, lands in Boise and Washington coun
ties, in Idaho, claimed to be fraudu
lent. Several Quarter sections are in
volved and already transferred to the
Butte Land & Investment company. It
is said to be tbe first of a large num
ber of fraudulent entries unearthed.
It is exuected a large number of crim
