Sioux attacks and prairie clashes dominate reports
A sequence of frontier incidents is recounted: an Indian Creek stage attack with stock stolen mailbags cut open a passenger wounded. a camp near Old Bridger Ferry attacked with one Indian and two ponies killed. a fight near Fort Fetterman leaves one Indian dead and ponies seized. Other skirmishes include a Kickapoo Lipan camp in Texas disturbed with two killed four captured and a hundred horses. The steamer Far West endures Indian fire near Powder River with a rescuer mission. volunteers disobey orders to aid wounded.
