night, and were not taken by surprise by
the attack which was made at sunrise. The
village was located in canyon running
north and south. IL contained about two
hundred lodges, with perhaps five hundred
warriors. General MacKepzie's fighting
force numbered nearly one thousand men.
Most of the enlisted Indians behaved well
at the start, but after the first heat OF the
charge very many Of them relapsed into
apparent indifference to everything except
plundering the abandoned tepees Of the
Cheyennes and trying to run OF horses;
were killed, and doubtless many more have
fallen behind the rocks. About five or six
of our horses have been killed.
Additional particulars of General Mac
Kennels fight with the Cheyennes has been
received at Fort Fetterman. The victory
was most complete. The entire village, with
all its winter stores of subsistence and robes,
fell into the hands of the troops, leaving
the bravest and most warlike band of the
hostiles wholly destitute in the face of the
rigid winter, the contemplation of which fact
caused them to fight with desperation.
Theirl loss in killed is about twenty-five,
and large number wounded. General Mac
Kennels conduct is charactered as bril-.
liant, entailing only the loss of one officer,
Lieutenant McKinny, Of the 4th Cavalry, Of
Memphis, Tennessee, and five enlisted men
killed and twenty wounded. The Pawnee
scouts rendered valuable service and were
richly rewarded in spoils. Gen. Mackenzie
will join Gen. Crook, on Crazy Woman's
Fork, and continued attack will be made
on Crazy Horse, who is reported to be on the
Rosebud.
Disasters by Fire.
Early in the morning recently a frs in
Chicago destroyed a number of frame sa-
looms and eating houses on West Madison
street, near Canal. 1t was not known
until later in the morning that four persons
had persisted in the fire. These were the
occupants of No.. 2S, an all-night res.
taurant, owned by Henry Cockrell.
George Bode, and James Allen. Their
charred corpses were taken from the ruins
during the day. All four had evidently
been overcome by the flame while attempt.
ing to escape through a long hall, the stairs
leading to which had been burned. Allen
was tailor, and came from Boston, where
he leaves wife and children. But for the
heroic conduct of Captain Bullwinkle of
the hre patrol, many other victims would
have been added to the list.
