CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 26.-Late to-
night the Hughes Lumber company, of
this city. filed general assignment to
NJ. ii. Ward for the benefit of
its creditors. ID. w. Hughes,
president and general manager of
the company. who has made himself
personally liable for the debts of the
company, also filed an assignment of
his property to al. IL. Ward. The liza
bilitieS of the company aggregate S173,-
573. The schedule of assets aggregates
S320,GSS. The schedule of DIV. Hughes
aggregates SS6.7S5 liabilities and S475.277
assets. The excess of assets over liza
bilitities in both assignments is over
half-miIlion dollars. The as
signment was made necessary Ow-
ing to the pressure of claims
upon which Hughes was indOrser. He
had extraordinary demands made on
him by reason of the failure of three
concerns which he had befriended with
his Endorsement. Mr.. Hughes made an
assignment. he says, to prevent credit
from getti e into court to be sacrificed.

do not appear to fear an approaching

that their assets are greatly in excess of

THE WAR ABOUT OVER.
All the Red Men Will BE Ac
counted for in a Day or Two

PINE RIDGE. Dec. 26--One battalion
of the Seventh cavalry with two Hotch-
kiss guns and pack train has just left
for Wounded Knee, about thirty miles
away. The Indian council in the
Bad Lands decided in favor of
the hostiles returning to the
agency. They are now all Oh their way.
Perhaps fifteen or twenty may slip
away, but the authorities feel that the
lnuian war has been ended. AT least
they express great satisfaction at the
news brought in by the cOurierS who ar
rived about 2 O'clock. There is still
danger OF serious trouble in case an at
tempt Is made 10 disarm the hostles.
Unless this is done all the Indians will
be at their agencies within three or
four days.
RAPID CITY, S. D., Dec. 26.-Gen.
Miles, who has been waiting for several
days past to hear the result of the
friendly mission of the Pine Ridge In
dams to the hostile camps IN the Bad
Lands, to-day received word from Gen.
Brooke that the courierS in from his
emiSsaries reported the hOstiles ready
and about to come in. Several small
parties are already moving into the
agency and the balky Indians are eX-
pected there within day or two. Word
was also received that Big Foot and his
band, who have been missing since their
escape from Col. Sumner, have been
found on the POrcupine creek moving
toward Pine Ridge. No details are
given. but Big Foot has certainly
evaded for several day s all the force in
search of HIM.
CAMP NEAR BATTLE CREEK, S. D.,
Dec. 26.-The situation here remains
practically unchanged. The weather is
cold and the rivers are frozen solid. A
company of Cheyenne scouts are en-
camped at the mouth of Battle creek.
Two attempts were made W ednesday by
the hOStiles. who number about eighty,
to break into their camp. The first attack
was made by only few of the Indians,
who were quickly repulsed with loss
of two killed and several wounded.
Three of the Cheyenne Indian scouts
were wounded and it is thought that one
is fatally hurt. The second attack was
made after dark by what was supposed
to be the whole band, who
we've led by Kicking Bear him
self. Volley after volley was
fired Oh both sides and desul-
tory fire was kept for an hour or more.
1t is not known how many of the hos
tiles were killed, but judging from The
reports of one of the scouts there must
have been several killed, as he says he
heard several shout in Sioux language
that they were hit. Troops were sent
to the sctne at an early hour yesterday
morning, and report everything quiet
and no hOstiles in sight.
