worth Iogsrting the Indian trouble, Is TO the
effect th,t the Cneyennes crossed the Kan
sas Petite railroad at Carlyle Station, a
point some distance east OF Fort Wallace, on
Saturday morning las, although some say
they did not cross until later. The latest
word from the hos i,iiits was a! Sheridan

RIVER, on the old Ogal ala cattle trail, al

THE TROOPS

them. They seem to be making time, and
evidently Since their hkht with Lewis In the
carols 0. Fsmished Womsn's Fork, have
not lurt any time but have pushed on with
out single moments delay. Il ia said that
they can rr,vel fay miles per day, which IS
good rate, encumoeIed as they are by their
families.

three companies OF mounted infantry, and
eight compsni.s OF in antry, sixteen compa-
mes in all, and numbering probably FIVE hun

columns, the idea being to en,ircl- the In

belief is prevalent at Fort Leaven sor,h tha'
