PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Nov. 2S.-The
beef issue passed off yesterday without
any exciting features. Only ninety
steers were turned loose. Hawk Head
and Big Horse, reliable Indian police
men. have reached the agency with the
news that their families had been stolen
by band of 200 Indians that had de-
serted from Rosebud a few hours be-
fore, and had rushed off to join the
1900 other Indian deserters. who are
now only fifteen miles northeast of Pine
Ridge agency. When Hawk Head and
Big Horse discovered their families
missing, they Immediately set out in
pursuit of the deserterS i'll order to
regain their families. The desert
ers refused to give up the
families of the policemen. The latter
begged and entreated the deserters to
give them back their wives and chill
dren, but they only got curses and
threats of their lives. Before they got
away from the band, the members of
the latter said:
60 and tell the soldiers at Pine
Ridge agency we are part of the 1900
other Rosebud Indians now near Pine
Ridge agency, and that from now on
we are going to kill every white person
we meet, and if the soldiers come we are
ready for them"
1t is predicted by the Bee CORE
spondent that within thirty-six hours
the troops will be ordered to disarm or
shoot down the marauders, and when
the troops do start after them the end
viii be no Custer affair. The move will
undoubtedly be made under cover of
darkness and by forced march, the at
tack and finish will both occur between
the rising and setting of the moon. The
scene of action will be some Iifteen or
twenty miles northeast of the agency.

CHAMBERLAIN. S. D., Nov. 2S.-Maj.
Sesson, Indian agent at Lower Brule,
yesterday heard ghost dance was in
operation at the mouth of White river,
several miles below the agency, aud he
last night sent force Of Indian police
TO the scene for the purpose of break
ing up the dance and arresting the lead
ers. The police were soon Oh the
ground, and making a charge succeeded
in capturing five more, one of whom.
Chicken Head, who like the others, was
armed, attempted to resist. but the po-
lice were not to be deferred, and Capt.
Fire Shunder, chief of police, VINO is
a large, burly Indian, rushed in on
him, and grasping him around the
waist, carried him bodily to the jail. 1t
is rumored that another dance Is in op-
Grafton several miles up the river. which
is being investigated, and, il found true,
it will also be promptly broken up and
the ringleaders arrested. There is talk
among the Indians of going to the point
below White River, where the Rosebud
and Pine Ridge Indians have been con-
gregating, but they are being closely
watched, and if they attempt it they
will have to walk over one of the finest
and most determined men in the vigi-
lance police force on the reservation
They are doing their work faithfully
and promptly, and will not be deferred
from carrying in effect any orders. 1t
is not anticipated that these Indians
will commit any deeds of violence, but
if.they should, and get away and join
the others, they would undoubtedly act
with the majority. The agent and po-
lice so far have them under control.

He Says q Winter Campaign Is
Imminent.

lInIflknGnE.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The departure of
Gen. Miles, commander of the depart
ment of the Missouri, for Washington
this morning is more than significant.
In short, the general has been sum-
moned to the national capital by Gen.
Schofeld and the secretary of war for
the purpose of discussing the details of
his plan for at once dismounting and
disarming the hostile Indians in the
Northwest. Gen. Miles was seen by a
reporter this afternoon just before his
departure, and he confirmed all that is
stated above.
81 go to Washington" he said, ''to
confer with the general of the army
concerning the Indian situation. Yes,
the situation is grave" he continued,
sand the necessity for vigorous winter
campaign is becoming more and more
apparent. We are probably face to face
with winter campaign. The hostile
Indians ought to be compelled to sur
render, and they ought to be disarmed
and dismounted, and they will be.
That is all | can say. Oh, / will add
this: They will probably find them
selves in position in the future so that
they cannot so easily mount and arm as
in the past. You may look for winter
campaign in the Northwest. We'have
only 1900 mounted men in the Indian
country over stretch of country 600
miles long. The infantry is doing guard
duty only. With this. force we hope to
keep the peace until we get ready to
crush the uprising"

DESPERATE DONAHUE,
He Raises Postal Money Orders
and Is Arrested.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Nov. 2s.-Will-
lam NJ. Donahue, clerk in the Boston
postoffice, was arrested in the Spring
field postoffice this evening. when he
presented three money orders for 500
each, payable to George B. Sweet"
The arrest was made at the direction Of
the Boston postoffice authorities. and
the officers have been watching for him
for three days. 1t seems that before
leaving the money order department of
the Boston postofflce last week Donahue
sent out number of orders for money
payable to fictitious persons. The
officers claim that he has raised
81 orders to 500, and the work is very
plain on the orders. He waived identi-
ticatiOn in sending the orders, and has
thus been able to harvest his money on
fictitious names. He came from Wor-
cester. When arrested he had a bottle
of laudanum, new revolver loaded
and box of cartridges in his clothes.
Addresses in his pocket indicate that
women are at the bottom of his trouble,
and it is thought he was meditating
suicide.
