Gen. Crooks Destination and Purpose.

When Gen. Crook moved back from
Crazy Woman's Fork to Buffalo
Springs, many thought he was retreat
ing, but this ~supposition was false.
After Mackenzie's fight, some Chey-
ennes who escaped, few to Crazy
Horses camp on the Rosebud and in
formed him of the defeat Of Dull
Knife. Crazy Horse at. once pulled up
stakes and moved to a camp north of
the Black Hills, probably on the Little
Missouri, and Crooks retrograde move
ment was made to deceive the willy
chief.
After a brief rest at Buffalo Springs,
Gen. Crook marched out in an easterly
direction, having received information
as to the location of Crazy Borse's
camp from his own and scouts sent
from Red Cloud by Col. Mason. He
made a bee line for the location of the
village, andif he has not already reached
it, will do so within a day or two.
Crazy Horse is said to have 400
lodges, with about 1000 people, and not
less than 300 warriors, so that within a
very few days we may expect to hear
news of an important battle.
Crook is expected at Fetterman on
or about January LIST.

The cit,zens' Meeting.

A large crowd assembled at the City
hall, last evening, in obedience to the
two published calls, n a call for a
citizens meeting, and the other a call
for a Democratic meeting. A promi-
nent Democrat called the citizens
meeting to order, and with the aid of a
large number of Democrats present, eff
fected a temporary organization, by
the choice of Maj. Glafcke as chairman,
and Hon. P. Mckay as secretary. The
chair stated the object of the meeting,
under the call, to be the nomination of
two candidates for city trustees, to be
voted for next Monday, Dec. 25th.
Upon motion made and seconded, the
temporary organization was made per-
manent. The chair then declared the
meeting open for business, when a mo-
tion was made and seconded to pro-
coed to ballot for two city trustees.
Mr.. Hannafn having objected to pro-
coed with the business under a citizens
organization, Mr.. Street moved to adj
journ, which motion, being seconded,
was put and declared defeated; where
upon a division of the house was called
for and ordered by the chair. The
division was decided in favor of adjourn
ment, and the citizens meeting adj
journed.

The Battle of the Rosebud.
In his annual report to Gen. sherida

In his annual report TO Gen. Sheridan,
Brig. Gen. Crook says of this battle:
At the fight on the Rosebud, June
18th, the number of our troops was
less than one Thousand, and within eight
days after that the same Indians we
there fought, met and defeated a col
umn of troops nearly the same size as
ours, killing and Wounding over three
hundred, including the gallant COM
mander General Custer, himself.
1 invite attention to the fact that in
this engagement my troops beat these
Indians On a field of their own choosing
and drove them in utter rout from it
as far as the proper care of my wound
ed and prudence would justify. Sub
sequent events proved beyond dispute
what might have been the fate of the
command, had the pursuit been contin-
ued beyond what judgment dictated.
During the campaign, from May 10Th
to this date, (Sept. 25) our losses, en-
bracing those in the engagements on
the Tongue River, Rosebud and Slim
Buttes, have been but II killed, 80
wounded, lmost of whom have since
returned to duty,) one death by acct.
dent and one by disease.

LANDER CITY, WYo.,
December 9th, 1876.
Hon. John N. Thayer:
SIR thought it my duty, and nec-
essary, to call out my company, the
Wyoming Rangers, for the protection
of some of our citizens that had gone
down Big Wind river, looking for stock,
and to bring in the bodies of nine men
that were murdered recently by the
hostile Sioux Indians. The military at
Camp Brown could not get permission
to cave the post, so my company went
alone.
We found three dead bodies and
buried them. Three bodies were re-
cognized to be those of James Leysight,
from the state of New Jersey; r. G..
Anderson. from Iowa, and David Davis,
from N. Y. state, / believe.
The other six bodies we did not find,
but the Shoshene Indians say they were
all killed. We also found between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred In
dian lodges, encamped on North Wood
river about one hundred miles from
this place. l think they were Chey-
ennes, but we had no. fight, my force
being too light to attack them.
We anticipate trouble from them if
the military don't rout them oon !
should have notified you before 1 went
out, but had not time. 1 was out from
the 28th day of November until the 9th
day of December.
1 remain your obedient servant,

ton among the drivers of wagons in
this city, that Just before turning a
corner it is necessary to whip up their
horses. The consequence is that
wagons fly around corners at a pace
which exposes foot passengers to immi-
nent risk. The police should put q
stop to this dangerous practice. A few
arrests and the timing of the offenders
would have a salutary effect.

Santa Claus Interviewed.

"who's running this holiday BUSH
ness in Cheyenne this year, anyway"
said old Santa Claus, as he walked in
to our sanctum, yesterday. 81 want to
know all about it. / want to know
who has toys, who has books, who has
pictures, who has all sorts of fancy
goods for the little folks, and then l
want to enter into partnership with
this man, and we will make the holiday
business red-hot." We took Santa's
arm and, walking into the p. o. News
Depot, introduced the jolly old fellow
to George Holt. George made him at
home, and is now Quitting Santa for
his Christmas tour.
