REPORTS received at Assiniboine,
Montana, by courier from Captain Kline,
OF the Eighth Infantry, in command of the
column operating against the half-breeds
and Crees on Milk River, say: He struck
the Indians, March IA, a half mile below
Medicine Lodge, where thirty-five or forty
lodges of the Little Pines band were en-
camped. By forced marches he reached
the first half-breed village, and half an hour
later a detachment of cavalry had destroyed
eighty or ninety dwellings. The leaders
had fed. The half-breeds were badly de-
moraized, and are going north. The cavalry
has been sent to the lower village, and this
movement will close the half-breed cam
paign, unless the Indians begin to show
themselves on the north side of the terri
tory, when Captain Kline will drive them
back over the line.
