Of the causualties on the part of the whites, five were soldiers, one a colored cook, and the others emigrants. Three wagons were burned. Owing to having left their horses in the Bad Lands, pursuit of the Indians was impossible, but the soldiers ran down across the Pass and climbed the hill that guards it on the south, and snipped off several of the Indians while they were mounting, still within range.

Their first intimation of the existence of this force was when the soldiers opened a deadly fire upon them in their exposed positions. Then they fled towards the southwest, while out of one of the gulches on the prairie in that direction came an Indian having a number of horses. These the others mounted and rode away towards Robideaux.

The outfit consisted of about seventy-five wagons and had about one hundred head of cattle. Part of the wagons were loaded with governmenl supplies, and some belonged to emigrants.

Tin (.nil. were being taken along the riverside through the Bad Lands, but before they reached there, the noise of the battle was heard. Of the thirty-live men in charge, thirty joined in the ride towards Eagle Crag, leaving but five t<> take can- of the cattle.

The thirty-eight dead were buried a few rods west of the west end of the gap, but a few days later, the bodies of the whites were exhumed and taken to Fort Mitchell for interment. The remains of the Indians are yet in obliterated graves a little west of Mitchell Gap.
