REPORTED MASSACRE OF MAI,

True.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The report original
ing in New I ork that BoZeman, Mon
tana, special said Major Ranoal and party
had been massacred in the Big Horn
Mountains, is entirely discredited by Gen.
Sheridan. The roundabout way in which
the news was received in New York is in
itself enough to convince him that the re-
port is without foundation. December
14th a dispatch was received from
Fort Fetterman stating that Randall was
at Reno, which is about 20 miles from
Fetterman. Bozeman is at least 400 miles
from Fetterman, and were this report
true the news would have been sent east
via Fetterman.
WASHINGTON, Dec 22.-No informa-
ton has been received at army headquAr-
ters in regard to the reported massacre OF
Major Randall and party by Crazy Horse
band, but it is thought the report may be
true. Brevet Col. Randall is with Gen.
Crooks command, and it is feared that
he may have been sent on mission tc
obtain scouts and ran into Crazy Horses
band, for which General Crook has been
looking for some time The story as il
reaches Washington is that Maj. Randall
and nearly all the Indians and others Of
his party were killed in the Big Horn
Mountains.
