Since my letter of last week I
have had a talk with Pawnee Killer
and gained the following facts con
cerning the massacre of a surveying
party near the Republican river some

The village of Pawnee Killer and
Wketstone was crossing the ridge im
mediately south of the mouth of Red
Willow Creek intending to camp on
Beaver creek ten miles distant when
they discovered a party of six white
men Tvith a team or teams A charg

Mr Willard P Buck son of the
missing surveyor arrived in the city
yesterday from a trip to the west in

Col Emery is mistaken when he
says Warren was the name of one
member of the iBuck party as no
one of that name is mentioned in any
list of the killed but the finding of
the bodies of the three Indians is

goods from Clark Plummer in this

immediately The place where these
