Ascending the loiifj. wteep bill, Hud moving out onto thu rolling prairie, wo found our-i-elves at once among small bauds of bull'alo and antelope ; and us wo moved slowly northward these bauds in creased in si.o and numbers, until they formed a seemingly vast and cju thuioUH herd. Our ohjectivo point was tho Sxvent griiHs Hill ; three lone piuo-elad buttcs just south of tbo Canadian line, and HUty or more miles etutt of tho lloskies. In tho afternoon of tho fourth day out wo reached the west butte. aud camped on 11 little btrtam which lloxts from it nouthwurd, until finally it is lost in tho thirsty ground. We did not dare cump very near tho butte, for bad no don ho a war j arty would have had h great udvautnc,o in tiring down unou us from tho hivh joints, lusteau, wo cboso for our winter crimp ground uie ceutro of a wide, levol Hat about half niilo from tho butto where we built a etronp, high corral lnre;o euongh to bold all our horse.-, and icouutl tho outbido put ti our lodges. Then, after huuliug Ktcnt jnles of dry Cotton wood and quaking ash fur fuel, wo w 1 re read" to buj.;iu wolllur,'. Oxvini to the duuger of beinj? Attacked by t!:c Indians, wo arranged it so thut at nil times there should bo eight men iu camp, nud u ninth one with the horeei, which vxcro corralled every night. Never before liorbineo have I ucen a iiioro ideal pluco for tho huutei than tho SxvoetgnusB Hills in thoso duys. Climbing to tho top of tho butto ouo day I got out my glass, a lonir, power ful telescope, and took a good look nt tho surrounding country. North, south, east ami webt, aa fur as tho cvo eould retieb, tho prairie was fairly covered with buflulo nnd antelope. Herds of elk and deer fairly swarmed on tho uine-elud tides of the hills; end higher up, unions tho rocky lodges, tho timid bighorn mado their home. Littlu bauds of bears, nearly nil prizzlies, wero roving about cou isUntly, feeding on carcasses the wolves had killed, and occasionally fcceuring some unwary animal them (elves. As for the wolves and ooyotes, they were everywhere; singl;-, in ptiira, in bands of fifty nnd more". Left wo interfere with one another, tho diroctiou each outfit should take iu putting out baits was determined by lot, and I was very w ell pleased that my iirm elrow tho northwest course. Going from camp iu this di rection, we would pass ovev th,f west suuulder of tho butte, tbtsct ,t into a broken ptalrif -oiii'i, and on to tha long deep eouliei which led down to the Milk Rirjr '.valley, about ten inilei away. Ear y in the morning of a sunny u. old Dan and I mounted our horses ana started out to begin I onr work. About a mile from camp we sighted a band of elk and shot a largo fat cow. V e ripped the animal oocn from throat to tail and removed tho viscera. Then we mixed two bot tles of strychnine with the blood which collected, and smeared it all over the meat, ctittit g deep gashes here and there, to that the poison would work into the thicker pnrU. A mile from the elk we successfully stalked a little band of buffalo, and ice tired a large voting bull, on which we used three bottles of tho poison. Then, as the wind shifter, to the north and snow began to fall, we turned back and went home. In n few days however, we got out all tho baits we wanted, and every pleasant day we would go out nnd skin the wolves which were not irozen. Nowadays it is very difficult to get wo'ves even to approach a poi soned bait, but in those times they had not been educated, and were so ravenous that wo often saw thetn go up to b carcaos and begin to eat it be fore wo had ridden a quarter of a mile away. The strychnine was so rapid in its action that soma of tho animals died with their head resting on tho bait. Occasionally one of them would get half a mile away before the poison be gan to work ; but three-fourths of them fell within '200 yards or the bait. I hnd several opportunities to watch the ell'ect of strychnine ou wolves. It seems to deprive the animal suddenly of the uo of its l"g, which become m stiflas poker.. Then theoreatnro falls over on its side, makes a few ineffectual gasps for breath, and dies. As tho days and weeks slipped by wo began to think that either tho In dians did not know we wero wolfing on their territory or that they had no de siro to attack so formidable 11 party. Uce evening Into in February, bow ever, the ctt-t course out tit, Duval, Kcolt and Atwood, enmo into camp and reported that they had had a run ning lljht with a small war party and iind killed or wounded two of them. Tbey had gone out to tho end of their line, and ou their way hack, when about three miles from cump, they had been tired on iy n ilo;:i'ii or tuoro mounted lnuiani who rushed ui out of a coulie. Tho boys put Hpurs to thoir horses and retreated with nil speed, followed by thu Indians, who kept firing in fast m they could load th'.ir I'tim: At last Duval's horso was snot and liown ho wvnt ; then thu boys t-topped aud tired nrouud at tlie Id- uitiut, nnd had tho satisfactiou of see-1 ing ouo them fall from his bo'rt,e. Al andoniuQ his horso nnd saddle. Du-1 val then got up behind Atwood. and thoy went on ns fast as they could. In a few minutes tho war party took up tho chaso niun, leaving only two or tlneo of their number with the one 1m9 tin in..' t ui, .UJIii-'Vi i-jv4 was now carrying a donblo burden, thoy could not go on so faat ns before, and soon tho bullets bcnn to strike unpleasantly i:ear. So Scott dis mounted and checked their pursuer.!, and when the other boys had mado a few hundred yards he rejoined them. This niiuiiD'ivre was repeated srvornl litnc!-, aud was quite successful, lor the Indians were urine I with old Hud son May Company "fnkes," or smooth bore llmt leeks, which were not reli able nt a iiisUucu abuv.) seventy-Jive yards, while Scott, as well as the) rest of us, used the Hawkius rifle, thirty two balls to the lumud. which whs ex cry bit ns accurate us tho modern : iirei.chloadi' oader. S it xxas that adieu ! Sjott dismounted the Indians kept at a tr.I'o distance, hoping that one of tho mu'iv shots they tired ut him mi '.lit find tho mini. As thu liistaiH'u to camp became fhorler nud shorter, tho boys felt their courage ns, ami finally they con cluded that they wouldn't bo driven a yard further. They ull dismounted, and although, the trade Imlls from tho Indian hikes occasionally struck the (round a littlo too near, thev took do-1 liberate i.im at their pursuers, some ' otM varus tiihtaut. As tho smoke 'lilted axvay they saw one of them reel nud tumble hemllon;' to the rouud. Tlie boys pave a yell of triumph, and fired several rounds as fast in they eould reload; but tho Indians seemed to havo had enough and quickly rode axv.,y, carrying their fallen comrade with them. JJiscussii) tbo nll'.ur that nie.ht, we concluded to stuud our (,'rottud. livery bo.ly wiiH well axvare that tho Indians never would bo satisfied uulil they had tried t'j iivtiitjo the death of thoir t'Jiiiiudes, nnd tiiut iu txx-o or throe weeks teey would return in ful force times the horseshoe fell, whioh should uud try to wipu us out.

Except for a fexv days in January tho weather had been io cold that it wasiiuposiblo to do any skinning, tho woies ireezingsolia masiuglo uigut, ana iiumire lH of them wero around our baits. Hut uow a lying ' warm interval set iu, Rud wo all worked from daylight to dark si; inning tho animals and stretching tho hides on m.nt..! 11 - i 1 the ground about tho camp. In less than two weeks wo made mieu progress that wo hud cared for all tho frozen animals, und had only to work on thou that wo found about the baits from day to day. So wo quit going out over our Hues, kept a wntch of four men out on tho hills two miles from ! camp, aud fortitlod our position rj i well us we could. Around the iueide of ouo of tho lodges we built a sod wall two leet wide aud twice as high to shelter the women aud childreu. The corral was chinked with poles to i&Zi it f.iv?j tuV.jt pi'eof, c.ui IZi'ify we threw up com! 'ora&et-worka on Mk east aide of the corral, relying on tha corral itself and the wagons as a shel ter from other direotion. Then the time began to drag. Every- body felt more or less iu pspense. nnd wished the Indians would come, if they intended to come at alL After a few days of this monotonous lying in camp, I think if anybody had pro posed a general retreal to tha Fort there would not have been a dissent ing voice. But after the stand wo had taken nobody liked to be tha first to make such a proposition. It was on March 23, a'oont 10 o'clock in tho morning, that onr scouts came charging into ramp and reported large body of Indians approaching. The horses were coralled, the women and children crowded into their lodge, nnd, our ntles and revolvers carefully loaded, we got behind our breast works and impatiently awaited tha attack. In a littlo while we saw the Indians, 100 and mere, come riding slowly over the ridge down to tha creek, some 400 yards distant, and disappear in the little belt of timber which fringed its banks. In a few minutes they suddenly rnshed out in a solid body and came over the flat at us as fast as their horses could rnn. All of them, tho flower of th. Assinaboine camp, were decked in full war costume of trailing eaglo plumes, brightly decorated fihieldH and war clubs, and ermine fringed shirts and their faces paiutod with red, blue, white, yellow and black, in alternating bars and spots. On they came, singing tha shrill war song and firing thoir gnns, but we never moved nor made a sign until they were within 100 yards of us, then Duval ehented out "Fire I" and thirty-flvo rifles were emptied into them, bringing a dozen or more ot them to the ground. Then we drew our revolvers everyone of ns owned two and rained bullets into thoto. But before our pistols were half emptied they swerved with one accord to tho left nnd posod out of rnni'o. We had barely finished re loaling when they came on again, circling around the camp and tiring into it, but we lay low and waited for them to come nearer. Thinking perhaps to get in behind onr breast worke, they finally awni ' ''led on tho west side of tho corral and j charged down on us, but wo quickly ' rlu nV tinder shelter of tho wagons, j which forme 1 a north Bnd south wing 'to the corral, nad met them as before j with a Wiower of lead. This, scorned j to dishearten them ; the war song ! ceased and they tied in all direction, j 13at wo were not sutisllod, and, leaving : n few of the boys to finish thy wounded, i the rest of uh jumped on our horses, which bad been saddled before the I battle commenced, and took after them. Many of the Indians rodo splendid animal.-, aud, with the start tliey bad, easily got out of onr war. Lut others were not so fortunate, and were overtaken and despatched.
