Wallace, and Company B, Capt. Varnum,
An order was then given to twenty lndi-
ans to go and get their guns. They re-
turned with only two guns. A detachment
of troops at once began to search the vii
lage, finding thirty eight guns. As this
task was about completed, the Indians,
surrounded by companies K and b, began
to move. All of sudden they threw their
blankets to the ground, whipped up their
rifles and began firing rapidly at the troops
not twenty feet away. The troops were at
great disadvantage. fearing to
shoot their own comrades. The Indian
men, women and children then ran 20 the
south battery, firing rapidly as they ran.
Soon mounted troops were after them
shooting them down on every hand. The
engagement lasted fully an hour and
half. To the south many took refuge in
ravines from which it was difficult to dis
lodge them. l should estimate the killed
and wounded from what | saw on the field
and vicinity, at fifty. Just now it is i'm
possible to state the exact number. The
soldiers are shooting them down wherever
found. The field was one of great confusion,
horses running in every direction and
the men for few moments frantic owing
| to the unfortunate way they were placed.
Captain Wallace, of K troop, was the only
officer killed. In the first mad rush of the
Indians those of them who had not their
guns attacked the troopers with knives,
clubs and tomahawks and poor Captain
Wallace was struck down with blow

Catholic missionary, received a bullet
wound which will probably result fatally.

ton fame, received a serious wound in the
arm. A number of non-commissioned Off

Tha Indians at uintah Agency.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 29.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. "A special to the
Times from the Indian agency, Utah, De-
cember IS, says The Indians at this
agency and at Uintah are very quiet al
though little dancing is being done nnder
the leadership of Pah-Chu-Kut and Parta-
Hume, which they call sin nova, and just
as they have danced it for the last four or
five years. Last Saturday the chiefs held
council at the agency and the chief,
Charlie Shavenan, made a stirring address.
AS it was interpreted he advised the Utes
to maintain their reputation for peace and
be careful in all that they did for fear the
whites in the neighborhood might mis-
understand them and send out erroneous
reports about them. He told them that
they should not only be friendly but act
friendly.

THE BELL TELEPHONE PATENT.
1t Expires in 1893-Its Expiration Will Hardly
Affect the Present Rates.

Especial to THE HERALD-ExaminerD Dispatch.
NEW YORK, Dec. pa SUMS Washing
ton special says: The Bell telephone patent
expires in 1893, and not few people think
that after that date many telephone com
panies will spring up throughout the coun-
try, and that competition will make the
service as cheap as any other upon which
no patent is held. This is very pleasing
outlook, but it may not .eventuate at the
time expected, nor for a long time there
after. The original Bell patent was for
the simple principle of telephoning-a pat
ent upon the transmission of sound waves.
Starting from that point, many improve
ments have been MADE and patented. In
quiry at the patent Office today developed
the fact that nearly every one of them, at
least every one of real value, has been
bought by the Bell company outright or
has by other means come under its con-
troll. The records of the assignment divis-
ion of the Office are sprinkled over with en-
tries showing that this or that patent has
been assigned to the Bell company. The
best transmitter yet invented, and one re-
garded by many experts as nearly perfect,
is the Blake patent, and it does not expire
until 1855, and it is under the control of the
Bell people.

Big FoOts Surrender TO Major whiteside.


OMAHA. Dec. ga special to the Bee
from Pine Ridge says: Big Foot's band
was discovered shortly before noon yester-
day by Little Bat, one of the Indian scouts.
The hostile camp is eight miles northwest
of Major Whitesides camp on Wounded
Knee When this was reported to Major
Whiteside he ordered the troops of the
Seventh cavalry into the saddle and
to march to the point indicated by
the scout. As the military APP
preached the hostiles formed in
long line of battle. Major Whitehead
brought his men up into line, and when
they came within rifle shot, Big Foot came
forward ON foot and unarmed and slgnalled
that he wanted to speak with the major.
Dismounting the latter walked out and met
the chief. AS they came forward Big
Foot extended his hand in token OF peace.
81 am sick My people here want peace
| And Major Whiteside cut him short with,

Then at a signal his warriors raised a
white flag, and in less time than it takes to
write it the military had their prisoners
surrounded and courier was FASTENED
| into Pine Ridge agency for the other four
troops of the Seventh cavalry and Lieuten-
ant Taylor's scouts to help guard and dis
arm the party. There are $50 warriors,
all perfectly armed, and $50 squaws, to-
gether with many children. They seem to
| be all well fixed for war, except that some
of them are without ponies. Major White
side has $500 () soldiers. The general
opinion is that the surrender of Big Foot is
not in good faith. The Indians still retain
their arms. The party, however, is being
watched and the first false move will pre-
cipitate fight.
