Force from the Sent of War Being Ar
r~anged-The Preparations for RieIs
Trial.
Fort Pitt, Special Telegram, June 22.
Having heard that the nation felt more
anxiety about us here than they d,d about
themselves, the eagerness on the part of the
troops here to get away grows more pro-
nounced every day. There is no hope to
move for several days yet, as Strange and
Smiths troops from Bea ver River, and
possibly two. companies from Edmonton,
must be waited for. Middleton's idea
seems to be to concentrate the forces here,
and then learn how many will volunteer to
stay. There are hopes Tint both Big Bear
and Wandering Spirit, the latter the insti-
gator OF the Frog Lake massacre, will be
caught before we go. A courier will be sent
in the morning to give aletter to the Wood
Crecs, telling them ii they come in and lay
down their arms, and bring in Wandering
Spirit or any other indians implicated in
the Frog Lake massacre, they will not be
| molested so long as they behave them
selves. The ~impatience OF the troops at
the detention here daily increases. The
transport service is arranging tonight for
| volunteers to reach Winnipeg within the
next ten days.
