unbeknownst to weikert and mccartney as they traveled south to otter creek, a band of 20-30 nez perce were moving north toward mammoth hot springs where dietrich and stone were staying. the indians had already burned baronett's bridge (the first bridge across the yellowstone river near its confluence with the east fork of the yellowstone (lamar river) built by jack baronett, a trader and yellowstone guide in 1871). the nez perce found dietrich and stone and chased them into the forest where they successfully evaded confrontation with the indians. on the morning of august 31, the band of nez perce moved north of the mouth of the gardner river and attacked the henderson ranch which was a homestead established in 1871 a mile or so north of the park. a two-hour gunfight resulted in no casualties. sterling henderson and his hands abandoned the ranch for the safety of the river and the nez perce sacked and burned the buildings. shortly after the attack on the ranch, a force of cavalry under the command of lt. doane was moving up the river near devil's slide. they quickly engaged the nez perce and drove them back into the park. unfortunately for dietrich, believing the nez perce had left the mammoth hot springs area took refuge in one of mccartney's buildings. as the nez perce fled south they found dietrich and killed him. wiekert and mccartney had found charles kenck's body at otter creek and buried him. upon their return to mammoth, it was them who found dietrich dead as well. fearing that ben stone might be dead and mammoth hot springs no longer a safe place, they made their way north into the safety of lt. doane's camp, where they found ben stone, the negro cook, safe as well. although there were a few other skirmishes between soldiers and the nez perce while the indians were still in the park, they resulted in only minor casualties.
