Wynn, when on nearing the fence, they were fired on by a large party of Indians concealed behind it. Two men were killed and two wounded; one supposed mortally. The volunteers returned the fire a short time and retreated. The Indians also made a hasty retreat, leaving one of their party dead on the field.
