NV YORK, November pa dispatch
dated in the field, November 25th, via
Fort Fetterman, November 9th, gives
the following additional particulars Of
General Msekenzie's fight On the 18th:
The hostiles had been having a war
dance oil night, and were not taken by
surprise by the attack, which was made
at sunrise. The village was located in a
canyon running nearly north and south.
1t contained about two hundred lodges,
with perhaps FIVE hundred warriors.
General Mackenzie's fighting force mum
bered nearly one thousand men.
Most of the enlisted Indians behaved
we'll at the start, but after the first heat
Of the charge very many Of them rslapsed
into apparent indifference to everything
except pluudering the abandoned tapees
of the C~heyennes and trying to run off
horses.
About twenty Indians thai can be
counted we're killed, and doubtless many
more have fallen behind the rocks.
About FIVE or six of our horses have been
killed.

Casualties: Killed = Lieutenant John

from General Crook, received at military

concerning the IHdiau fight: AN Ia

he had made peace with the whites to the

hunt buffalo until spring, when they we're
to have an agency on the Belle tourche
in The Black Hills; that a part of Sitting
Bulls village was talking of moving up
to join Crazy Horse, who was camped
on the Rosebud near the point where
General Terry and / met last summer y
So much Of the foregoing as relates to
Sitting Bull is discredited at military
