Money, aud make a start in business.” he men take their arrest easy, “nd say they can prove where

they have been day and night since they “ere in town on the date mentioned by Durant.

THE RIEL REBELLION

‘Another Fight in the | North West.

—_—

Gen. Strange attacked by Big Bear.

tt

A Real Vattie Preba- biv Going On,

Barrizrorp, June 1.

General Strange has at last come up with Big Bear. A fight between his troops and Big Bear’s braves took place on Thursda and Friday, twelve miles from Fort Pitt.

The troops engaged under Gen. Strange consisted of a detachment of Mounted Police, the 65th Battalion of Montreal, and ithe 92nd Battalion Winnipeg Light Infan- tre, making in all three hundred men.

Big Bear, in anticipation of the fight, selected a fine ambuscade, and determined to give batile. He had five hundred fight- | ing braves, most of whom had an American experience in Indian warfare. | The country around Fort Pitt is very |rugged. It abounds on ravines and is also | covered with dense forest and is well dotted ,with lakes and watered by rivers. The | physical character of the country is in every way favorable to carrying on an Indian ; Ware Our troops under those circum- stances met the Indians at even greater dis- | advantage than Cut Kuife Creek. | The Indians in the battle were first to ;open fire. They commenced the attack | when our troops were marching through a low swampy tract of country, twelve miles ‘northeast of Fort Pitt, and three or four wiles north of the Saskatchewan River.

The fight lasted four hours. The field guns were brought into service, did des- ; tractable work among the Indians and jeileaced their firing. The troops retired ; upon Fort Pitt for the night, and the fight- | ing was resmed on Friday morning. | Of Friday’s fighting there has been no news, as the couriers who arrived here had left Fert Pitt after the troops had retired on Thursday night,

The losses on both sides are not known. A barge with the prisoners on the river, guarded by a dozen men and sergeants of | the GSth Battalion of Mcntreal, could not be found after the fight on Thursday night.

Gen, Strang is in need of supplies and re-

inforeements.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Batrierorp, June l.

Another aceount of the fight between Gen. Strange’s troops and Big Bear's i braves, says the fight was probably with Big Bear's advance guard, and a real battle has yet to be fought.

Tiiis account says the Indians opened fire on Gen. Strange’s troops as they were marching over ground at the foot of a hill. The ground was swampy and broken, and very difficult to march over. The nine- pounder Gen, Strange brought by the mounted police from Fort McLeod did good work in silencing the fire of the Indians But the enemy was entirely hidden among the rocks and ravines

The firing lasted, off and on, for four hours, when General Strange ran short of ammunition and withdrew with his troops to Fort Pitt.

General Strange had five days supplies at Fort Pitt. He needs reinforcements, ammunition and food.

LATEST,

Barrierorp, June 1.

General Middleton has gone to relieve General Strange by steamer. He took with him the Toronto Grenadiers, the 90th Winnipeg Battalion, the Midland Battalion, and Mounted Infantry. He also took two gatling guns.

Fort Pitt is ninety-three miles distant from Battleford. General Middleton ought to be there this (Monday) morning, and a battle is probably now going on.

LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.

Post Office Improvements. Sik —I did not consider the first reply to my communication worthy of being

ments were unanswerable—but becau e no gentleman would write in that style.

The letter signed ‘‘Boxholder” was cer- tainly courteous in its tone, therefore | pen this rejoinder. I understo.d opening the I ost Ottice on Sunday’s, to mean a general delivery, which would not have been mercy to the clerks employed; but as I was mis- taken in that particular, the question now te: “Is it necessary to open the Post | Ottice at al! on the Sibbath?” ‘The strong: | est argument in its favor is the possibility of receiving « letter anuourcing the serious Ulness of w friend but the apparent force of this argument is vreatly weakened whew we consider that there is no Sunday mail, and that the office does not close until a late hour on Saturday, If a person’s business demands his attention to corres- pondence on the Sabbath, then we have profound sympathy with that person in his most anfortunate position, but not the slightest belief in his business. It was a merciful provision on the part of our wise and beneficent Creater to appoint one day In seven asa day of rest. God makes no mistakes.

The writer dves not believe in “ religious fanaticism,” neither in being ‘‘ wise above what is written,” but so long as the Fourth Commandment resins in force, and most assuredly it has not yet been abrogated, there cannot possibly be more than one right opinion on this matter.

Yours very truly, S. H. Rice.
