 mie, \Vyo.,inl854, having come to receive 

 the annual presentsfromtheGovernment, 

 an ox belonging to some Mormon emi- 

 grants was killed by the Indians. Accord- 

 ing to the most reliable information, ob- 

 tained by Grinnell from Wm. Rowland, 

 who was at Ft Laramie during the trouble, 

 the commandant demanded the surrender 

 of the offender, and Mahtoiowa, in re- 

 sponse, pointed out the tipi of the guilty 

 Indian, informing Lieut. Grattan that he 

 might arrest him; but Grattan insisted 

 that Mahtoiowa should bring the man out 

 and deliver him. When the chief de- 

 clined to do so, Grattan ordered his men 

 to fire a howitzer at the lodge in the mid- 

 dle of the village. A shell killed an In- 

 dian, and 17 of the 18 soldiers were at 

 once shot down with arrows, the single 

 survivor e.scaping by the aid of an Indian
