ON THE WARPATH.

Several Killed in Hattie vrith Indians in Oklahoma. El Reno, O. T., April s.—Further advices from the scene of the encounter between the band of Vlepredating Cheyenne Indians and some cowboys who were herding cattle were brought here Tuesday by a courier who came for military assistance. He reported that when he left the fight was yet in progress and that then some eight or ten of the Indians and half that many white men had been killed or wounded. The settlers were hastening to the aid of the fighting cowboys and had surrounded the band of Indians and were slowly and surely picking them off. Two troops of cavalry left the fort for the scene of action, but as the distance is about 7 miles they will not likely arrive before the battle is over.
