1 Fight Between Savages. There is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Bear Chief’s band of Piegan Indians. Some of the young Piegan bucks thirsted for blood. Their tribe having been in an “amicable” humor toward the whites ever since Col. Baker killed half of them, on the Yellowstone, ten years since, the young men have grown up in sloth, and have known not the delights of scalping the pale face. Enuied by this enforced tameness of their career, and eager to taste the joys so graphically portrayed by the aged story-tellers of their tribe, fourteen of these young men, disregarding the advice of their elders, donned the paraphernalia of war, mounted their best ponies, and rode forih to -war. They journeyed but two days when they came to tlie Sioux eamp, between the Yellowstone and Musselshell Kivers, and their spirits, like those of Tennyson’s hero, rose within them, as they thought of the daring deeds they were about to do, and which should be the pride ot their tribe for all time. The camp of the Siox contained about two hundred warriors, but was so concealed by the gully in which it was situated that tiie Piegans were very incautious in th.eir approach, and wore discovered by tvyo mounted scouts, one of whom was shot down, the other’ making his way in safety to his tribe and giving the alarm. In a minute two hundred yelling demons,.mounted on fleet horses, surrounded' the helpless Piegans. Two of the latter succeeded in makingtheir escape, but twelve held their enemies at bay. working their Winchesters with deadly precision, until their ammunition gave out. Then there was a fierce charge, a hand-to-baod conflict with knives and tomahawks of a few minutes’ duration, and the twelve Piegans were literally cut to pieces, the Sioux, in their great rage at t\e desperate defense made by their brave opponents, out-doing themselves in their deviltry. Bear Chief is said to have perfected a plan for revenge, notwithstanding his depression at the loss of his two sons, who led the party which came to grief. —Helena (Mo M and) Cor.' Chica'go Times.
