News From h Indian Country
Fears for the Safcty Of General
sherman.
CHICAGO. Aug. 20.
Dispatches which have been receiv-
ed at sheridan's headquarters The past
two days from various military sources
i'm the far western leave no
doub whatever that Joseph, with his
band of Nez Perces, is making his way
eastward. Ii is believed that the in-
tention of the Chief is TO make an at
tenn t to strike the headwaters of the
Tongue river through the Yellow
stone. So fully convinced is Sheridan
that this is his intention, that he has
issued orders to the commanders of
the posts along the Little Horn and
Tongue rivers, to keep a sharp lookout
for the hostiles and give them a warm
reception if they show themselves.
For this purpose troops in that region
will be concentrated. There are at
these posts several hundred men of
the Twenty first Infantry, and if it l.
found necessary to use a larger force,
several companies VIII be taken from
two or three of the nearest northern
posts. Scouts have already been dis
patched in every direction to gather
information of the approach of the
Nez Perces. In view of this change
in the theater of war, there is no little
alarm felt at headquarters for the
safety of General Sherman, who is
supposed to be at the present moment
in Yellowstone Park. He has only
five men with him as an escort. The
squad is we'll armed, however. and
might worry Joseph and his men fear
fully If the two companies should
happen to come together. The mill
tary. which have been stationed in this
city for the past month, are being sent
back as rapidly as possible.
