  • Like this, purportedly at Buffalo Grove: An attempt was made on the 24 of June, by a considerable body of warriors, to surprise the fort at Buffalo Grove, ou Rock Hiver, only about 1ÍÍ miles to the northward of Dixon's Ferry. It was guarded by 150 militia, who were prepared to meet them, and a considerably sharp contest ensued. Sixteen of the Indians were killed before they retreated. But few of the whites were wounded. The garrison was in great fear of being cut off, having expended all their ammunition before a reinforcement arrived, which had been sent for while the attack was going on.
