PINE RIDGE AGENCY. Dec. 1.-[Special. =
The Rosebud Indians on Wounded Knee

miles north across the White river close to
the Bad Lands. They went there with the
view of having convenient hiding place.
When the troops 20 after them they can
easily hide, but the soldiers can starve
them ont in short time. About one hun.
dred lodges that stood on the north side of
Wolf creek have disappeared since last
evening, the Indians having pulled up
stakes between sundown and davbreak.
Old timers do not know what to think of
this move. It is considered by some as an
omen of trouble, while others look at it in
more cheerful light.
Word was received here tonight that the
Indians from the four other agencies are
joining the hostiles in the Bad Lands.
This will swell the hostile force to 1000.
High Hawk, one of the chiefs of the
Rosebuds, sent letter to Agent Roger this
morning. 1t is reported that the letter con-
tains this threat: ''Eend your soldiers to
take US. We are all ready to fight" Signed
High Hawk.
The failure of the government to protect
the property of the friendly Indians has
caused great deal of adverse talk.
The Indians who broke into houses were
starving and had to do something to keep
body and soul together. The troops are
still ready to move on a moments notice.

Secretary Noble Orders Their Rations tn

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The secretary of
the interior this morning directed that the
Sioux Indians be supplied with increased
ratlons, sufficient to conform to the agree
ment made in 1877. The appropriations
for supplies for the Sioux have decreased
every year upon the supposition that the
Indians were becoming more and moro ca
pable of maintaining themselves. Owing,
however, to the partial failure of the crops for
the last year or two, and the restlessness of
the Sioux, which is believed to be in measure
que TO the reduction of rations, the secre-
tary has ordered the increase.

A Citizens Meeting at Livingston Favors
the Montana Mineral

SuO 1AVuseun NAAuCE0As
LIVINGSTON. Dec. 1.-[Special.1-A citi-
zens' meeting was held in the court house
Saturday evening to take some action to-
wards securing a railroad to the rich min
ing camp of Cooke City. The meeting was
we'll attended as the matter in hand is of
much importance not only to the miners of
Cooke, who have waited in vain for years
for means of transportation, but the citi-
zens OF Livingston and Park county i9ener-
ally. The meeting was called to order by
County Clerk s. Deutsch, who stated it's OBJ
Ject. Judge Henry was elected chairman
and MIR. Roth secretary. Mr.. Deutsch had
had talk with Mr.. T. G. Power, who
recommended that bills exactly alike be in
troduced in the senate and house. This
scheme had been unfolded to Congressman
Carter, who Immediately showed the alb
surdity of it. He stated that senate bill
No. 491 had passed that body and had been
favorably reported to the house by the
committee on public lands, with an amend
ment which provides for the granting by
congress of the right of way to the Mon
tana Mineral Railway company, and that
this bill could be reached at the present
session, but new bills would not be heard
from.
Mr.. Roth then took the floor and stated
that in his opinion neither Sanders nor
Power had ever supported Carter in the
matter of a railway to Cooke; that while he
had always been opposed heretofore to the
Montana Mineral railroad franchise, as he
thought it ''scheme,' he was now in favor
of any measure that would secure a rail
road. He did not care now who made
money SO relief was given the miners of
Cooke.
Resolutions were adopted urging Con-
gresham Carter and Messrs. Sanders and
Power to support by vote and voice, and in
every way possible, try to secure the pas
sage of senate bill No. 491, which, with the
house committee amendment, provides for
the granting by congress of franchise to
the Montana Mineral Railroad company.
Copies of the resolutions. to be signed by
the chairman and secretary of the meeting,
were ordered sent to Representative Carter
and Messrs. Sanders and Power.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Reports received
at the war department to-day from the To-
cality of the threatened Indian troubles are
much less favorable than for several DAYS
past. They indicate that between one and
two thousand of the Indians who refused to
come into the Rosebud agency in response
to the agents order, have started westward
toward the Bad Lands. In their stampede
they have committed depredations on cab
ms and stock of friendly In
dians who went into the agency.
Gen. Brooke telegraphs this information
is. not from his own scouts. He expects
fuller information soon. These alarming
reports have again been the subject of con-
sultation between Secretary Proctor and
Generals Schofield and Miles. The latter
has asked General Schofield that additional
troops be placed at his command. It is
understood his request was for mounted
infantry. The department will soon have
a large number of troops at its disposal in
the region where the turbulent Indians are
gathered. The sixth cavalry is now on the
way to the scene.
