National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, Feb. GA Herald special,
dated Congo River, January 10, via
Bozeman February s, says Gen. Miles
has gained another victory over the In
dians. The latter consisted of Chey-
ennes and Ogailallas under Crazy Horse,
numbering one thousand warriors.
Miles command numbered. about
three hundred and fifty men. Miles left
Tongue River December 27 and, after
proceeding up the river some sixty miles,
discovered signs of recent Indian en-
campments, and, pushing Oh, struck
their full force on the 10th of January.
That evening quite a skirmish took
place, and one thousand Indians, well
armed and we'll supplied with ammunj-
tion, appeared on his front, giving every
ability to annihlate the troops.
General Miles attacked them, and by
an admirable disposition of his force
gained a decisive victory. The loss Of
the Indians is hard TO estimate, but is
known to have been great. The battle.
field was covered with traces of blood.
The Indians fought with great despera-
ton. The battle was contested on very
rough and broken ground, where 1t
would be impossible for cavalry to ride.
The Indians were entirely on foot. and
charged upon tho troops repeatedly.
The troops displayed great GOODNESS in
the battle.
The fight lasted over FIVE hours. A
heavy snow-storm prevailed during a
portion Of the fight.
The killed were Corporal Aug. Rath.
bone and private named Boota, of the
Fifth infantry, and Priyates Bernard
and McConna, of the Twenty-second H.
fantry. Six soldiers were wounded.
Gen. Miles pursued the Indians into
Wolf Mountains as lar as his limited
supplies would permit. The command
has returned to the post of Tongue Rlv
er in good condition, considering the
terrible hardships it has endured.

ANAUGHTY BOYS TRICK.

a dozen or more pieces Of shining metal
resembling in size, shape and color the

Market street an idea seemed to strike
him, and as he passed on he quietly
dropped piece or two every block,
which sank partially into the half-incA
