peril, when Shantytown wasl burned Sat

large numbers OF frame structures have
been erected Id immediate vicinity Of the

said structures are largely occupied by

The presentment concludes as follows:
"Your grand Jury, in view Of the very
recent serious conhagration in the neigh.

Bismarck, the nth," says the!recent or
der Of Gen. Sheridan designating the 9th
Infantry and the battalion Of the 22d as
the garrison OF the new post, and direct
ing these troops to prepare themselves for
the winter, has practically put an end to
the campaign for the season, as far as the
Dakota column is concerned. The sea-
son is so far advanced that with the ut
most industry the troops will hardly have
time to shelter themselves before winter,
and consequently the organization desig-
mated 10 remain have been detached from
the marching column and set at work.
The navigation Of The Yellowstone has
been suddenly closed by the rapid. falling
OF the water, and the supplies for the
now post instead OF being sent to their
by steamer must be hauled
in wagons from Fort Buiord. The quesi
tion Of subsistence for the troops who are
to remain has become so grave that all
supplies brought up for the active column
must be devoted 10 the use Of the canto.u
ment in order 70 provide against the
danger Of actual suffering. Consequently
our small army has 10 be sent home.s
Gen. Crook has been heard from under
date OF the ID inst.. He has followed
the trail 10 the Little Missouri,
without finding the Indians. The
trail is found to split, showing that the
parties have diverged in several direc-
tions. Gen. Crook thinks that the South
ern3 band may have moved backwards,
towards the mountains, and he Is some-
what apprehensiye for his wagon train.
It is expected that he will move in that
without delay.
