Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-10-05

The five companies of the Third Cavalry,
commanded by Colonel Carlton, who ar
rived here some days ago, broke up camp
at 8 O'Clock last night to make a night
march, and intercept the Indians, if pos
sible, before arriving at a point north OF
Clarke's Bridge, on the Sidney road. 1t
would appear, by the latest information
and other corroborating proof, that the
hostile party now pursued by the troops
are endeavoring to reach the new Red
Cloud Agency on Wolf creek, 81 miles
from Camp Robinson. If they succeed in
out-marching the troops, which is not at
all improbable, being better mounted, and
having nearly 800 stolen horses in their
possession as a reserve, something new may
be expected.
