Terry and Crook IN Pursuit But with
Little Prospect OfOvertaking Them:
CHICAGO, Aug. GA special to the Times
dated Steamer Josephine, Aug Goth, near the
mouth of the Yellowstone, says wagon train
sent back to camp at the mouth OF Rosebud,
and Ferry and Crooks combined forces have
moved west into the Big Horn Mountains. An
Indian trail two miles wide was found on the
18th leading north. After following the trail a
large party moving south toward the Bad
Lands of Missouri and the other north toward
the Yellowstone The Indians were in full re-
treat. 1t is presumed they do not intend to
make another stand. The northern band were
leading in the direction of the British Posses
sions and it is believed they will cross the lire
The other band will move south along the Lit
tie Missouri and cross Missouri river at a
point above Fort Berthold.
In any event they will letd the soldiers
sorry chase, There is every indication that the
hostile band has been heavily reinforced by
indians from the agencies, who from fear of
having ponies and arms confscated have de-
termined to link their fortunes with those of
the outward tribe. They are accompanied by
their wives and children and evidently intend
to remain in the northern regions during the
winter. The army can hardly overtake the
Indians except by miracle, as infantry can
not march over 20 miles day.
Gen. Miles has gone to the mouth of the
Rosebud, where he IS to build winter quarters
and patrol the river to prevent the Indians
from crossing to get to the northward Gen.
Miles has about 700 men.
Terry's supply camp has been removed to the
mouth of the Tongue river which will be the
base of supplies in the campaign. The main
column was moving on northern trail on the
18th inst, and unless an engagement occurs,
will return to the camp on Tongue river about
the first of the mouth.
Another despatch dated from the expedition
near hesmouth of Powder river, says it is al
most assured that the scout now being made by
Generals Terry and Crook will prove upsuc-
cessful and the troops will probably return to
the mouth of the Tongue river on the 25th inst
The command will then refit for another dash.
Winter quarters are now in process of construc-
ton by Gen. Miles command. They will &C.
commodate 1900 men and if successful engage
ment does not occur with the savages before
the 10Th of Sept this number of men will prob
ably be left GU the Yellowstone for the winter.
A later despatch dated the 23d says Crook
and Terry have abandoned the northern trail
and moved down the Rosebud 36 miles. Terry
will march over the country 10 Fort Abraham
Lincoln and Cook will scout toward the Black
Hills and Fort Fetterman unless the
campaign is further prosecuted during the WIZ
ter. 1t is now practically closed
