Growing MORE HOSTILE.

Nearly All the Friendly Indians Loavo
Pine ri lEe-Fears Of = Conflict.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s. D., Dec. r.
Red Hawk and Guy Belt, two Of the
agency Indian police who have just re-
turned from scouting expedition 1t
the camp of the hostiles in the Bad
Lands, say that the hostiles have made
every preparation for battle and are
waiting for the troops to attack them.
The scouts were discovered by tho
hostiles and were obliged to feo for
their lives One of them had his horse
shot from under him. :
f Early Sunday forenoon word was
brought to Agent Roger that friendlies
were disappearing very rapidly from
their camp, which is situated within
sight of the agency buildings. Investi-
cation shows that nearly 1000 of them
have disappeared since Friday night.
The hostiles are reported to be burning
their HON es and stealing their cattle.
Whether those who have disappeared
have gone to protect their property or to
Join the hos tiles is not known, but it
Is feared they will take the latter
course.
1t has been learned through scouts
that the hostiles have withdrawn to the
Bad Lands and intended there to await
the coming of the troops These Bad
Lands are very similar to those in which
the Modoc massacre occurred. The
scouts that brought the information con-
corning this latest plan of the hostiles
also said that the latter had just
slaughtered 500 head of Government
cattle and 300 belonging to Governor
Mellette, of South Dakota. The scouts
saw this beef being hauled in wagons
and pack trains to the new camp in Lad
Lands.
Many wagon-loads of -four and other
provisions that had been stolen from
the settlers were also seen headed for
this region. General Brooke has just
received telegram of 700 words from
General Anger warning him that 800
lodges (about 1000 warriors) of Chey-
ennes were coming from Cheyenne
agency to join the hostiles near here.
DICKINSON, N. D., Dec 1.-The In
dian trou bles are causing much alarm
to the settlers at remote places west of
here. Citizens of Belfeld, twenty
miles west, were surprised Satur-
day TO see settlers with their fam
tiles coming in from all direc-
tons They were all much scared,
having heard that the Indians were
mped on Grand river fifty miles
nth. The situation was so alarming
that a leading citizen arrived here from
Eeldeld Sunday to consult with the
authorities and learn the truth of the
situation. There is good authority for
saying that bands of Indians are con-
gregating on the Grand river and are
acting suspiciously. The alarm among
the women and children at Belfield is
such that they will be comforted only
when the men keep in bodies to watch.
