BULLS WARRIORS SURRENDER
Big Foot and Band of Hostes Headed OFF
by Colonel Sumner.
AN EARLY SETTLEMENT HOPED FOR.
Indian Agent McLaughiin's Oficial
Report on the Killing of Sitting
BulI-Stands First i'm the
Hostile Camp.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. o.
Especial Telegram to THE BEE. Sitting
Bulls band of l5O warriors led by Big Foot
have Just surrendered to Colonel Sumner who
with POO soldiers succeeded in surrounding
them In the vicinity of Standing Rock while
making for the bad lands
General Miles looks for an early surrender
of all the hostiles. The bad land leaders
counted upon 300 Indians from Standing
Rock, including Sitting Bulls band Of POO
Indians from the Cheyenne agency, and
Humph and Big Foot's braves at Cherry
creek and accessions from northern agencies
which would have swelled the hostile camps
to over 10000.
Had the conjunction been effected" said
Genel al Miles this morning, "these Indians
in the absence of military protection could
have massacred as many settlers as the Sioux
did in the Minnesota trou bles of 1862"
Colonel Sumner,n his dispatch announcing
the capture of Big Foot SAYS: ''This cleans
up the Indians along the Cheyenne" He
has orders to take the Sitting Bull and Big
Foot parties into Fort Meade or, if more
practicable, to Pierre. General Brooke wires
that Turning Bear, with his band, the ad
vance of the Pine Ridge delegation to the
hostile camps, has arrived at the bad lands.
General Brooke has sent word of the sur
render of the Sitting Bull people and Big
Foot and thinks this news will aid
his ambassadors in their work of
hurrying in the recalcitrants. Brave
Bear, the Pine Ridge policeman who
brought in Little, the Indian who precip-
tated the difficulty at the agency by drawing
a knife and assaulting policeman, says that
Short Bull wants to leave the bad lands, while
Kicking Bear insists upon defiance The In
dians here, he says, believe that the party
who went out will at least succeed in aiding
Short Bull to come in with his followers. A
peaceful solution Of the difficulty now
seems probable but, as General Miles
remarked, "Bad news. may. come
in later in the day." General Miles is of the
opinion that the death of Sitting Bull left
the hostile conspiracy without head and
that an early surrender is probable.

MORE COLTS ARRIVE.
Chicago Battery for the Old CIub-Hecker
and Conway.

Two more young players for the local League
club arrived in the city yesterday. They were
Dave Bennett, pitcher, and George Zeigler.
who caught Schmitt last season. Both hail
from Chicago Bennett was in the City League
of Chicago last season. They come here on
trial. During a conversation last evening
Manager Hecker SAID:
''I am well satisfied so far with my pitchers
Schmitt, Baker and Jones have all done well in
their practice. and l feel confident that Daniels
will be all right from the start. But even when
we start in 10 play it will not be fair to critcise
players are not only mostly young men, but
they have never played together 1t will
therefore, take a month or two before they can
get down to their best work, BY that time
feel confident that we will have an excellent
team. / also think that / will be able to hold
my own in the box. One thing is sure how
ever and that is we will have as good an out
field as there ever has been in Pittsburg Let
nobody make mistake that point We
have four good outfieluers"
Speaking OF Conway Manager Hecker said:
u wish the public to understand how Conway
has treated the old club. HIS conduct shows
HIM to be even more ungrateful than Beckley
Last year he only pitched two games and re-
ceived between 81, 900 and So 900. After the first
month or SO of the season he requested that he
be paid only half salary as he could do no work
The directors did this when they had every
reason to take his name from the pay roll en-
tirely. During the season he went away from
the city for three or four weeks and nobody be-
longing to the club heard from him or knew
where he was. Still his pay went on. His de-
sertion shows how he appreciates the gener-
osity shown. Why the Plttsburg club has
been victimized by these prominent players in
the most shameful manner"
