CHICAGO, January 1.-THE Times Fort
Robinson special gives the following graph
ic. description of the scenes attending the
hunting of the escaped Indians Thursday
night: Having got up with the guard, who
were only fifty yards behind the retreating
saxages, the entire command poured yolley
after volley into the renegades with terri
bly, fatal results killing over twenty and
Wounding as many more before the savages
succeed in gaining the hills. At this point
Mayor Vroom, commanding companies A.
E, T and l., of the Third Cavalry, who
were camped at the old camp occupied by
the Fourth cavalary a year ago, on hearing
the firing suspected the cause, and his
troopers were soon afterward 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 1916
a. IN. the work Of carrying the dead and
wounded from the snow was commenced.
All the bucks found were dead, and about
twenty squaws and pappooses were picked
up n carried to the post. On an exami-
nation OF the women and children by Sur
geons Mosley and Pettis several were found
to have been dangerously wounded. Many
had their limbs badly frozen. Five of those
shot died very soon after getting their
wounds dressed, and as many more are ex-
pected to die before the sun rises. The
troops succeeded in capturing several sava-
ges during the day. A detachment of SOL
dier came up to a party of six savages in a
Washout. They refused to come out, where
upon private Everett, of Company III, Third
Cavalry, went to the mouth Of the washout
with the Intention Of assuring them that if
they Wouldrc 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 eff
fects of which he died in a few hours. The
savage who shot him was instantly dis
patrhed to the happy hunting grounds, be-
ing shot through the head by a companion of
Everett. The remaining savages in the
Waslout Wore pulled out and sent under
guard to the post. The Times correspon-
dent visited-the place where the dead bod
les were collected awaiting burial. AT noon
to-day (Friday) the pile consisted of twenty
bucks, eight squaws and two pappooses.
