HISTORY OF MONTAGUE COUNTY. 75
INDIAN SKIRMISH BETWEEN CENTRALIA
AND DYE MOUND.
Mr. Bud Morris of Montague and Mr. Holloway
Williams were riding leisurely along one day when
they suddenly rode up on ten Indians, near Dye
Mound. They drove the Indians into a ravine, after
shooting one Indian off his horse. They left the
Indians in the ravine and went to Montague after
recruits. They returned with the men, and the
Indians, who had remained in the ravine, began
firing on them. Mr. Morris was shot through his
clothing with an arrow, but it failed to touch him.
MIr. Williams was shot through his clothing, but
they failed to wound him. Mr. Perryman's horse
was wounded but afterwards recovered. Mr. Per-
rynan was the only man in the company that was
hurt. He sustained a slight injury on the temple,
made by a flying bullet. The white men killed four
Indians and wounded others. They also captured
all of the Indians' horses but one. The Indians ran
off on foot.
A PIONEER WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE WITH
THE INDIANS.
While it has been impossible to give an account of
