On Wednesday evening at 6:30 o'clock, a small band of Indians made an attack on
Spearfish City, a small mining town near this place. About one hundred
shots were exchanged, but none of the miners were injured. Owing to the
darkness the damage done to the Indians is unknown. Last night Brighton's
herd of cattle, which a party of armed citizens recaptured from the Indians a
few days since, were again driven off by Indians from the False Bottom mining
region
