Their force largely outnumbered ours when we collided, but Major Curtiss came charging down from the north just at this instant.

His arrival was such a complete surprise that the Indians gave up and began waving the white flag.

Then all firing ceased.
On rounding them up we found that we had captured about two hundred and fifty warriors, women, and children, most of whom were from the Spotted Tail Agency.
The general had the Indians instantly disarmed.

Most of their tepees were up and they were ordered to go into them and remain there.

We placed a sufficient guard around the whole camp so that none could escape.
