The front page has nearly the first two columns taken up with: "Thornburgh's Fight" "A Courier Brings News from the Besieged Troops--Thrilling Narrative of Thornburgh's Fight--The Troops Under Payne still Surrounded and in a Desperate Situation--A Gallant Body of Men".
This is a fine and quite detailed account of the Battle of Milk Creek, Colorado, part of the Meeker Incident.
