What Some Captured Indians Say OF Riel--A
Missing Stage.
Sr. Paul, April l9.-The Globes Winni'
peg special says: A dispatch from Clarke's
Crossing tells of the capture near there Of
three Indians, one of whom proved to be
White Cap, chief of the Sioux Indians now
with Riel. They explained that White
Caps band was induced to visit Riel BY
promise of plenty of provisions, and had
been forced to stay. They say Riel
was at his house at Batoehe, had 250 half
breeds with him and seven prisoners. Mid
dleton sent one of White Caps Indians to
report to White Cap what he had seen, and
to tell him to return to his rescue. Middle
ton promised the Indian reward If he
brought Riel prisoner with him. A dis
patch from Colgarry says: Considerable
anxiety is felt here for Edmonston and the
north country stage due Wednesday has not
yet arrived.
Swift current April IS. An immediate
advance of the Midland battalion to the
south of Saskatchewan crossing is ordered,
1t will reach the crossing Sunday. A
steamer loaded with steers and a gstthng
gun for Middleton will be escorted on q
dangerous trip down Saskatchewan to
