ST. PAUL, August pa Pioneer Press
special from Bismarck says scout named
Burke has just arrived from the mouth
of the Rosebud with dispatches that Cen
erals Crook and Terry, after making q
junction and following the main Indians,
left their wagons, tents, Sc, took thirty
seven companies of cavalry and eight OF
infantry, and we're making forced
marches, expecting to overtake the
Indians before they reached the Yellow
stone river. Mig ht before last large
war party of Sioux appeared on the op.
poslte bank of the river from Behold
agency and demanded supplies, and on
being refused they opened fire, which
lasted about fifteen minutes. They then
withdrew and struck south toward Fort
Lincoln.
A large party of Black Hillers, who
left here for the hills few days ago, and
who have been unable to break their
camp, four miles from Lincoln, owing to
the heavy rains, we're attacked Sunday
night and lost seven horses.
Later dispatches just received from
the commanding officer at Standing
Rock says that Indians from Sitting
Bulls camp report terrible battle be-
tween him and Terry's and Crooks COM
bined forces. The Indians were repulsed,
and have scattered. Terry and Crook,
however, are reported as having sustained
quito as heavy losses as the Indians.

A BAD Cow.-rhere was COW in the
city, yesterday afternoon, that caused
lots OF trouble. When we first saw it,
it had a rope tied to one of Its hind legs,
with which it was leading man down
18th street. 1t had blood and thunder
in its eye, and one could see
that il was on the warpith. When
it had lead It's man along as far
as Main street, it spied another man,
who, it thought, was trying 10 en-
tice its mau away, or something of that
kind. 1t proceeded to do very cowardly
act. 1t rushed for that man, and he
thought if lie wanted TO be bully boy
any length of time he had better make
tracks. He did 50, with the COW in full
pursuit. Up Main street they few. The
cow pulled her man along with her for a
short distance. when she evidently came
to the conclusion that it would
expediste matters to let him drop.
She dropped him, and heavy, too,
judging from abe way he rubbed his head
when he got up. The chase continued
to the bluff at the head of Main street,
and we don't know how much farther.
At that poin. We lost sight Of it They
may be going yet but we were told, late
last night, that they passed a florists,
somewhere, and that at tibet point the
man gave her cowslip and made his
escape
We learn that this same COW did
great deal of damage on the road above
the Top mill. She broke away from her
owner, who was guiding her BY a rope
tied to one OF her mind legs, ana threw
little girl about with her horns, ipjur-
ing the child considerably, tore down
fences, crushed gardens. and frightened
everybody generally. She was q new
purchase to her owner, and We venture
he wishes now be had never b. ught her.

THE REDUCTION IN RAILROAD WAGES

The REDUCTION IN RAILROAD WAGES
Meeting of Employees The reduction
recently made by the. Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company on the wages OF
the 4rain hands, mention of which has
heretofore been maze in the Su', has
generally been accepted by the men on
the divisions of the road west of Balti.
more. There is, however, some move
ment or disposition for further con-
sideration among the freight con.
ductors, fire men and brakemen, whose
headquarters are at Riverside, South
Baltimore. A meeting was held yester-
day at Cross street market hall, which
was attended by between one and two
hundred men. The meeting was held in
secret, and was entirely orderly. Several
OF the men made speeches, claiming that
the reduction was hardship at TINS
time.
Resolutions were adopted setting firth
that the reduction of fifty cents on the
wages o. those who now only get two dol.
lars and twenty five cents per day was
too great, aud calling .or the announce
ment of committee to wait upon the
officers of the company to request them
to recede from their determination to
make the reduction. 1t was stated that
there was some difficulty in get
ting men to agree to serve on the COM
mittee. Nocommittee bad called upon
the officers of the company yesterday
evening. The enginemen, who have the
selection of their own crews, have gen
orally accepted the reduction. 1t is
learned, in addition, that q meeting OF
employees which was appointed to be
held al Grafton, W. Va, yesterday, for
the purpose of taking action in reference
to the matter, was slimly attended, and
no action was had.
Capt. Thos. r. Sharp, master OF trans
portation, who is on the line ofthe road
represents that the men on the main
line ard Parkersburg branch, in view oil
all the circumstances, are willing to ac'
cept the reduced pay, and no difficulty Is
apprehended. The engineers and many
Of their crews are understood to counsel
an acceptance of the terms Of the COM
pany, believing that it is better to do SC
than to be thrown out o. employment, as
1t is stated that no better wages can be
had on other roads, and the places of the
| men who refuse to continue at the re
duced prices can be readily filed.
0It is said that there are large numbers
OF men who have qeen thrown out OF en-
ployment on other railroads that have
suffered more than the Baltimore and
OHIO by the general stagnstion in bus
ness and low rates for traffic. 1t is known
that the business of the Baltimore anc
Ohio road has not been reduced in volume
but has been kept Up by determined
competitor in the interest of Baltimore
though the rates for freight have been 81
excessively low, and for this reason TIT
company has not been compelled to dis
charge its hands in the transportation
department, as has been the case will
nearly all the other Trunk lines. 1t l
