El Reno, Ok., April 6-- A courier has just arrived here from the scene of the conflict between the cowboys and the Indians and states that the fight was still in progress when he left and that twenty-eight Indians and fourteen soldiers and settlers were know to be killed.

The Indians are surrounded on the Washita River but the bushwhacking continues, each party shooting at every opportunity.

The sheriffs of “G” and “H” counties have organized and gone to the assistance of the settlers, and all the soldiers from Fort Reno are now in the field except three troops of cavalry.

The courier is from the sheriff of “G” county, who sends for ammunition and assistance. His brother here hastily organized a party and left at noon for the battleground.

The continued fighting has greatly alarmed the people and the most intense excitement prevails.
