BENARD'S VICTORY.
DETAILS OF THE FIGHT AT CURRY CREEK—
A COMPLETE LIST OF THE KILLED AND
WOUNDED.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.—A Silver City
dispatch says: In the recent attack of Ber-
nard's command upon the hostiles the lat-
ter are reported to have had 1,500 warriors.
The Indians were not aware of the presence
of the soldiers. Their stock was unguarded.
Bernard addressed his troops, informing them
that they were close by the enemy, and
could whip them. He charged them not to
retreat, if they did they would be shot, and
they might as well die by the shots fired by
the savages as our men. The soldiers went
silently forward and attacked a savage force
three times greater.
A COMPLETE SURPRISE.
When within five hundred yards of the
enemy the order was given to charge. Mc-
Gregor's company was near by and they
charged also. The savages fled in dismay.
A large number of them were killed. An
encounter took place between Bear King, a
Bannock chief, and Sergeant Richmond, of
McGregor's company. The sergeant final-
ly killed his man between 1 and 3 o'clock
on the morning of the 24th. They were
pursued by Bernard ten miles.
REINFORCEMENT.
Gens. Howard, Downey and Miles sub-
sequently arrived on the grounds; also
Benderix' company. All are anxious for a
fight. The body of one soldier captured
by the Indians was cut up and burned.
The Indian camp was destroyed by the
troops. Many hostiles were wounded.
Col. Perry's command, as well as all the
other troops engaged, are reported to have
done well.
