The sensational story telegraphed to the New York Herald that Gen. Miles wantonly massacred a large number of the Bannock Indians, including women and children, is denied by a gentleman who claims to be thoroughly conversant with all the facts. Gen Miles, he says, has always shown justice and kindness in his treatment of the Indians, not only in the case in question, when he took care of the captured and wounded Bannocks, but also in the case of his capture of Joseph's band of Nez Perces, when he even deprived his own command of necessary transportation Omazahinnioe
