II is announced that the fleeing Chcycnncs
crossed the Yellowstone. Oct. 10. n short
distance east If Fort kcogh. That wa the
very day that ten companies Of cavalry
were hunting after them In the Nebraska
and Dakota sand hills, three hundred miles
away. Ii they crossed the Yellowstone ON
the 18th, they are doubtless by this time
also across the Missouri, and, IL thny choose,
safe in the camp OF Sirtisu Bull.
Altogether. this six weeks Cheyenne run
of nine hundred miles, ~ the crow tes. and
by the trails several hundred more. broken
by pauses for food and FOR fighting the
trops who came in upon the route at diff
fcrnt points. Is worthy 10 bc named with
Chief JusnPH's run, year ago, and has
been more successful.
On the night of Sept. .. the Chcycnnes es-
capped from two vigilant companies Of cav
airy at Fort Reno. On tho Nth. toward
evening. they were surrounded by five com
panics OF cavalry and ono Of infantry. with
good prospect Il capturing the whole out
hit On the morning Of the 18th. TO quote
Major RENDLEDR, OK "to our anna cement,
the red devils wer, gone the same day Col.
JEFF. c. DAVIS tclcgraphcd :" Prospects good
for capturing tho Indians" On the 18th,
Kansas city advlccs said at is thought
Gen. JEFF. e. DAVIS will finish the Indians
to-day" On Oct. 4, Major THonNBu'Rau
tclcgraphcd. The Chcycnnes crossed the
Union Pacific an hour ago. My command
leaves In five minutes, going h0ty miles Ui
hour On Oct 3, there was "a certainty of
Major THoRBNUR0H's meeting the Chcy-
enncs.' On Oct 6, Major THoRNBURGH
concluded that. as he had seen nothing Of
them. the Chcyenncs must have scattered
all over the country" But the truth is now
clear that though the troops, when they
had locomotives To chase the Indians with,
made a close race, without locomotives they
were distanccd.
TO crown this record, though n military
telegraph runs to Fort kcogh, Con. MILES
did not learn that these Chcycnncs were
anywhere near him, until they had gone by.
Now at Kcogh are Companies \, b, l., and
of the Second Cavalry, and the entire ten
companies Of the Fifth Infantry. Why did
not Gen. GIBBoS. the acting department
commander IN Gen. TERRY's absence, inform
Gen MILES in season Ono Bismarck de-
spatch suggests that he was jealous lest
MILES, who had intercepted the Nee Percr-
and the Bannocks should do the same by
the Chcycnnes. But the simple reason may
be that he was looking for tho Indians, like
his subordinates, down among the Nebraska
sand hills. while they We're fording the Vel
low-tone- Besides. was it not officially cor-
titled to him that they had scattered and
that the only alarm was about RED CLOUD
and SPOTTED TAIL? The result is that the
Indians have run by the sixteen companies
cnsconced in Fort keogh, a. they ran 10y the
thrty-on" companies supposed tu be cor
railing them in Kansas, thus furnishing fl
finale To the campaign.
