Raidinc Indians in the Yellowstone Cuun-
try.
1t doesn't seem safe to calculate upon the
prevalent idea in the army, that the Indians
will keep quiet during the winter. Yesterday
Gen. Terry was in receipt of telegram from
Lieut.. Col. Townsend, Eleventh United
States infantry, commanding at Fort Caster,
II. T., to the following effect:
The operator at Terry's Landing reports
that on the 9th inst. party of Sioux stole
fifteen head of horses from tie settlers in
Pease bottom, and also took lot of horses
from Crazy Horses camp Friendly Indans)
in the vicinity of Terry's Landing. The
Crows took up the pursuit
and overlook the hostiles, and
gave them battle. The Sioux took TO the
ravines, fought desperately, but were unable
to prevent o recovery of most Of the stock.
In the fight all but eight head of the white
mems stock was killed, but the Indians re-
covered most all their stolen stock. The
Crows report that the Sioux were well mount
ed and had considerable led stock. After
the tight they took the direction leading to
the Yellowstone river, and it is doubtless
their intention to raid that section of coDn-
try.
AS soon as the news of the raid reached
Col. Townsend, he dispatched troops after
the Indians with orders to intercept them.
The band is supposed to be from some
nsighboring reservation, and not one attach
ed to any large hostile party.
