On the 7th of Decembe Lieutenant
Colonel Evans marched with de-
tachment of Companies A, G, ID, Il,
G. and II. of cavalry, and Company [
OF .he Seventh Infantry, travelling IN
the direction Of Antelope Hills: On
reaching a point near hloWa Greek,
forty-one niles east OF the depot, a
trail of about fifty lodges of Cheyenne
Indians was struck, which was fol-
lowed over tc the NORTH fork of Red
River, thence down that stream, the
trail constantly increasing till it be-
came very large. The trail was hetly
pursued The Indians abandoned
all their surplus property.
The village was very rich, contain
ing over FIVE tons of buffalo meat,
one hundred bushels of corn; also,
-four, meal, coffee, sugar, soap, cook
ing utensils. mats, parfleche robes,
and the paraphenalia Of rich In
dian town. The Indians kept up the
fighting during the day and ths next
morning, but there was not much
fight In them. Three enlisted men
were wounded, one mortal Y. The
number Of Indians which weIe killed
is unknown.
Col. Evans took the main trail
again on the 26th, which led west,
but being out of provisions, except
beef, had 10 give it up. The greatest
praise is due Col. Eyans aud his com
mand. Ii marched "a days in the
snow and intensely cold weather,
without tents of any Kind, and finally
struck this effective and heavy blow
1 had known, through Gen. Hazen
and the Indians, Of this marauding
village. It was composed mostly of
individuals from the tribe OF .Ceman
IGhes.
The trail led into a canon near tho
junction of the Elm Greek and the
Salt Fork OF The Red River, when
Colonel Evans made a detour to pass
around the canon into which the trail
led, and which brought him at noon
on Christmas day into large village
of Comanchcs of sixty lodges, just
seuth OF this junction of Salt Fork
with Film Greek, which was totally
destroyed. The Indians attacked this
advance. but were driven from their
village with the loss of everything it
contained. the women and children
escaping by being hastily put on the
horses of the warriors, in some cases
as many as four on n horse.
| can assure the General that he
need not expect continuance Of mur-
ders and robberies from the Indians
in the military department hereafter,
If one can Judge from the demoraliza
ton which this winters campaign has
produced among them. The weather
has been very bad snow, rain and in
tense cold.
