THE REMOVED REDSKINS.


A Col. Grant reports the Red Cloud IE-
Idians us being, at the date of his report
to Gen. Sheridan, (13th inst.) on White
river, near what is known as the Forks,
and at a distance of sixty miles from
the new Agency. The report states
that the difficulty attending their COM
ing to the Missouri river after their
rations will be so great that a large
number Of them will come a little near
er the Agency and remain all winter.
The colonel says the Indians appear to
have a dread of the Missouri river, and
heSdoes not believe they will settle on
it. The President has promised them
that they could settle anywhere they
pleased on their reservation, after the
present winter, and they have decided
to go next spring to the head waters Of
the Tongue and Powder rivers. The
Sans Arcs and Minneconjou bands,
numbering eight hundred or nine hun
dred, were so opposed to coming to the
Missouri river that, as already re-
ported by telegraph, they separated
from the main body and went north.
He is quite sur they will all go next
spring, even should they have to go on
the war-path to do it.
Col. Grant reports that Spotted Tails
band of Indians are encamped between
the Ponca and Niobrara rivers. The
most of them will stay on the Niobrara.
They intendt to remain there only during
the present winter, however, and then
remove to Wounded Knee, or White
river. 1t was with considerable difficult
ty, says the report, that they were in
duced to come to the new agency for
the winter.
