earning that United States troops
were coming to capture Spirachee and
hi men. At last accounts they nau
not yet reached his camp, fifteen inile
west of the Sac and Fox agency.
There is no doubt that he will surren
der to them w ithout resistance, an m
would have done to the Creeks had htt
not been afraid he would have on,i
the way of Sleeping Kabbitt, who was
killed while trying to escape. Last
Wednesday a detachment of troops of
the army discovered Spirachee's scouts
and gave chase, capturing one. They
questioned him as to Spirachee's
whereabouts and forces, bat a he
ouldtell nothing they took him out
and shot him dead. There are rumors
of more killing on the same plan.
Nothing authentic has readied here
tonight. News reached here of an
other killing near Eufaula last week
of about twenty of Chicotee's men,
who left that place and discovered a
Spirachee man named Kehail) llr?e,
and without more ado riddbd him
with bullets.
