WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Information has
reached the authorities here that while the
Sioux Indians were being removed from Red
Cloud Agency to the Missouri river, 100 Of
them broke away and are row on the war
path. Gen. Terry has Issued orders to the
United States troops 10 prepare for winter
campaign. Those who have thus deserted
are operating in the Deadwood country,
and have already attacked trains and caused
general CONSERVATION.
1t will be remembered that 2,8Oe additional
Indians joined the march Of the Sioux from
across the country, and short rations may
have caused this stampede. 1t mas under
stood, VIII Gen. Cook left here, thai he
would personally superintend the movement,
Of the Sioux, and accompany them on their
march. The General is now at Omaha, and
his personal presence might have prevented
any such stampede as that reported as he
has much influence with the Indians

fChicago Times,1

Already the Nez Perces who escaped cap-
ture at the Bear Paw fight have become 50
bold as to cross the border from British
America, and in concart with war party of
Sioux, to run off horses from the Swan river
country, perhaps twenty miles from Fort
Shaw, where the conquerOr Of Big Hole and
his brave men are stationed. Another party
Of Nez Perces were seen in the Bear Paw
Mountains hunting for cdches they had made
during their three days fight with Miles, and
still other Pierced Noses have been discovered
accommodating exposed ranches of the Mis-
souri,.
The Gros Vendres, who have long pro-
fessed friendship, have also proved their
treacheFy by an attack on a freight train en-
route from Cow Island to Helena, whioa they
supposed at their mercy, but the brave
bull whackers galIantly rallied and drove
the redskins from the field
AS all instance OF Indian friendIiness with
the whites, a little incident relating to one of
the Cheyennes who left Tongue river with
Miles to scout for the Nez Perces, when thew
were still at large, will not be out of pIaee.
This redskin, with about score Of his
brethren, reached Tongue river some days
before Miles, reported the capture oil the Nez
Perces, and had big war dance to celebrate
