CHICAGO, Jan 1.-THE Times
learns that the Cheyennes who re-
VOTED are the Indians whose re-
moval to Indian Territory had been
deferred for months in consequence
of a failure of the Interior Depart
ment to provide them with enough
clothing to cover their nakedness.
Yesterday the Secretary of War
telegraphed General Sheridan
that Commissioner Hoyt had
finally given orders for an issue to
these redskins of $500 worth of
clothing. There are one hundred
and iifty-cight prisoners i'm the
| band, and as none of them are en-
numbered with anything heavier
than breechclout the $500 dis
bursed by the Commissioners will
just about buy a pair of socks for
each of them.
The 1ames'S FIT. Robinson special
gives the following graphic descrip-
tion Of the scenes attending the
hunting Of the escaped indiana:
Thursday night, having got up to
the guard, who were only fifty
yards behind the retreating saw
ages, the command poured volley
after volley into the renegades
with terribly fatal results,
killing over twenty and wound
Ing as many more before
the savages succeeded in gaining
the hills. At this point, Major
Vroom, commanding companies A,
T., Il and l. Of the Third cavalry,
who were camped at the Old camp,
occupied by the Fourth cavalry u
year ago, hearing the firing sus-
pected the cause, and his troops
were soon afterwards in the saddle
and Joined in the chase, galloping
at full speed in the direction where
the flash Of carbines and the shouts
of the troops were seen and heard
among the hills. At 1915 A. NJ.
the work of carrying the dead aud
wounded from the snow was COM
| menced. All the bucks found were
dead and about twenty squaws and
papooses were picked up and car
ried to the post. On an examination
of the women and children by Sur.

died very soon after getting their
wounds dressed, and as many more
are expected to die before the SUB
rises. The troops succeeded in cap
turing several savages. During
the day detachment of soldiers
came up to n party OF six
savages in II washout. They
refused to come out, whereupon
private Everett, of company II,
cavalry, went to the mouth of the
washout with the intention of as
suring them that, if they would
come forth, they would not be
harmed. AS soon as Everett got
near the mouth of the washout he
was shot in the abdomen by
one of the savages, from the
effects of which he died
in few hours. The savage who
shot him was instantly dispatched
to the happy hunting ground, be-
ing shot through tho head by u
companion of Everett. The re-
manning savages III the washout
were pulled out and sent under
guard to the post. The Times cor
