THE WOUNDED OF MILK CREEK
Stormy Weather on the Trip-Major
Thornburgh's Remains-Retreat
Of the Hostiles-Military
Change of Base.

Rawlins, Oct. 1S.-Tiie wounded of
the battle of Milk river arrived here
this afternoon. with company F of the
Fifth cavalry, Capt. Payne command
ing; company D. Fifth cavalry, Lieut..
Wolf commanding; company E, Third
cavalry, Captain Lawson commanding,
and company D, Ninth cavalry, Captain
Dodge commanding, the whole force
being under the command Of Captain
Dodge. The wounded, thirty-two in
number, were all doing well. They
were met here by Col. Summers, medi-
cal director of the department of the
Platte, and Assistant Surgeon Semig,
Of Fort Steele, and were immedi-
ately placed on board the train
for transportation to Fort Steele and
Fort Russell. Captain Payne remains
here and is doing well.
Major Thornburgh's body was brought
in by this party and was shipped to
Omaha. The list of wounded is the
same rs heretofore published. None of
the wounded as first reported have
died.
The party had stormy weather on the
road. Rain began falling at Fortifca-
tion creek and continued for several
days. The command was nine days on
the road.
Washington, Oct. Is. In conse-
quence of the stormy weather which
set in on the route, between Rawlins
and White River agency, and of the re-
treat of the hostile Utes over the noun
tains southwark from the latter point,
1t has been determined to relinquish
the former purpose of reinforcing Gen.
Merritt, by the direct line from the
Union Pacific railroad, but orders have
been issued by Gen. Sherman for the
immediate concentration of troops near
Alamosa and Pagosa, Colorado, with
view to joining Gen. Merritt's forces,
and Of cooperating with him in the
Uncompahgre region, in case the scene
of hostilities shall have been shifted
thus far to the southwark.
No advices have been received at
army headquarters either from Gen.
Merritt's command or in regard to the
Apache disturbances in New Mexico.
1t is believed, however, that the latter
will be speedily quelled, as Gen. Nor
row, if he fails to overtake the maraud-
ing Indians, will undoubtedly drive
them over the border into Mexico.
