CHEYENNE AGENCY. April 25.
Those of the Cheyenne prisoners
who have. since their capture or rath-
er surrender, been kept in close COLI
finement here, were last evening con-
veyed to Fort Sill in irons. There
were thirty-onc men and one squaw.
The transportation furnished them
consisted of. four large government
wagons, and their escort consisted of
one company of cavalry, the cortege
being in charge of Maj. Morse. AT
Fort Sill these prisoners are to join.
forty-sevcn kiowa prisoners and the
whole are to be taken to some point,
probably Fort Leavcnworth to be tried.
The squaw mentioned above is Mochi,
who was identified as the one who
an AK, after she had been shot Among
the most noteworthy of the Cheyenne
prisoners, | may mention the Chiefs
Gray Beard, Heap O. Birds, Bare Shield,
and Minimize, besides Long Bask,
Big Moccasil, Lean Bear, Little Chief
and Left Hand, who were noted war
riors. Long Back is the one who mar
ried himself to the oldest of the Ger
main girls. The principal prisoners
among the Kiowas are Lone Wolf,
celebrated chief, White Horse, Swan.
Woman Heart, Bad eyes, Pedro, Lean
Bull and Two Sight.
Against all these, understand there
is the strongest evidence, and they are
sure to be punished for their crimes.
La regard to the Cheyenne prisoners,
the German girl identified nearly all
the Indians who were concerned in the
massacre of her family, and those who
subsequently brutalizcd her. No one
here is reliably advised as to what will
be done with those who are convicted.
1t is generally supposed, however, that
some will be hanged and the rest sent
to Dry Tortugas, or some other Beau
tifuI Isle of the Sea-"
In regard to the forty or fifty war
riors for there were not any more)
who made their escape after the fight
of the 9th inst. they undoubtedly join
cd forces with the Young men who
never came in, and who were, at the
time, concealed at ashort distance from
the Agency, and have altogether, gone
towards the north. The three compa-
mics Of cavalry which started in pur-
suit from here, failed to come up with
them and have given up the chase.
This small column followed the trail
of the fugitives to point about seven
ty-five miles west of Caldwell and are |
now returning by way of Caldwell.
The result of pursuits from other
points have not yet been learned.
This afternoon all the Cheyennes
now here were turned over to Agent |
Miles by Gen. Neill in pursuance of an |
order from Gen. Pope. | am reliably |
that all these Chcycnnes are
to be taken TO a new reservation inside |
of two weeks, and are to be henceforth |
under the charge of congressman
Shanks, of Indiana. This new reser-
walton, understand, is in the vicinity /
Of the section of country now occu-
pied by the Modocs. The bands of
Little Robe, Whirlwind and White
Shield will, at their option, remain
where they now are, or accompany the
others. These three bands it will be
did not go on the war
path last summer.
A party of Osages have recently
passed westward from their reserva-
ton, and have been paving their COM
pliments to a number of stock men
holding cattle in the Territory. A
few days since they killed a number of
cattle belonging to Mr.. Dean, and
stole five horses from the Koxkins OIL
Pond Creek, and also five horses be-
longing to the Sawed Horn herd The
stock men were preparing to leave the
Territory. These demonstrations have
induced them to accelerate their move
nents.
