Friendly Indians in Pursuit of a Band OF
Hostile Sioux.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. 13.-
Reports of the fight between the In
dams in the Bad Lands are confirmed.
Two Strike and his party were victo-
rious, and left the Bad Lands for the
Pine Ridge Agency, camping on White
Earth River. The chief sent to Gen,
Brooke, asking for help to capture Short
Bull and his warriors. The General called
in American Horse, Big Road and 9th
er chiefs, and set them at work recruit
ing fighters. Fully 500 warriors are now
on the way to bring in all who remain
in the Bad Lands. Many fear it will
end simply in the flight of Short Bull,
who will return to his stronghold as
soon as this band returns.
