On the 10th he attacked the Miami towns.

His approach was discovered just in time to prevent a surprise.

The Indians hurriedly fled to the woods, those first discovered raising the alarm-cry, which could be heard an incredible distance, and thus warning their fellows.

In consequence no fight followed, though there was sharp skirmishing between the advance guard and the hindermost Indians.

Ten scalps were taken and seven prisoners, besides two whites being recaptured.
