IL is estimated that the soldiers killed

themselves to be heroes in deeds of daring.
Single handed conflicts were seen all over
the field. The Indians were not all armed
with guns, many of them having only
pistols or knives and clubs. They fought
with desperation, and after the first sur
prise were greatly at disadvantage.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s. d., Dec. 3D.
Big Foot's braves turned upon their cap
tors yesterday morning. and bloody
fight ensued. The trouble came when the
soldiers attempted to disarm the Indians,
who had surrendered to Maj. whiteside.
Thismove on the part of the troops was
resisted, and bloody and desperate bat
tie followed. in which the Indians were
shot down ruthlessly, and in which the
lives of several soldiers were sacrificed.
Capt. George w. Wallace was killed and
Lieut.. Darlington and fifty troopers
wounded. Big Foot's band, numbering
100 warriors, surrendered Sunday to Mai.
Whiteside, who, with the Seventh cavalry,
had been in readiness to intercept the hos
tiles, who were making forthe Bad Lands.
This party OF warriors had previously es-
saped while being taken under escort by
Col Sumner to Fort Bennett.
The Reds Were Feeling Ugly.
They made no show of resistance when
offered by Maj Whiteside the alternative
of surrender or battle, and were marched
TO the old camp on Wounded Knee creek,
where they were surrounded by the troop
ers, while couriers were sent to Gen.
Brooke for reinforcements. This camp is
about twenty miles from Pine Ridge
agency. With the Indians thus cap
tured were the immediate followers
OF Sitting Bull, and all were in sullen
and ugly mood They had been closely
pressed by Col Summers troopers and
We're harassed ON every side by the cavalry.
They had made a forced march for the
Bad Lands, accompanied by their squaws
and children, who were suffering for food.
Bloody Resistance to Disarming.
Additional troops under Col Forsythe
arrived at the camp early yesterday morn
ing, bearing orders from Gen. Brooke to
disarm Big Foot's band Col. Forsythe
assumed command of the regulars, which
comprised two battalions of 500 men, with
Hotchkiss guns. The Indians were sur
rounded and the search for arms was
begun through the village As this task
was about completed the Indians sur
rounded by Companies X and B began to
move. All of a sudden they threw them
selves to the ground and began firing
rapidly at the troops not twenty feet away.
The troops were at great disadvantage,
fearing to shoot their own comrades.
