A MASSACRE PLANNED.

Short Bull, the leading hostile chiof,
who has distinguished himself all along
during this trouble by never for a mo-
ment considering any Of the overtures
looking TO an an amicable settlement,
but who has steadily stuck to his lair
in the Bad Lands, has now assumed
command of the great body of hoStleS.
Last night he told our spies that he
would take this Agency il it cost every
warrior he had
Half-breeds here have been Informed
by friends and relatives among the hos
tiles, that they had better move their
families long distances from the
Agency, as 4 great raid and massacre
was certain. The half-breedS are show
ing what they think Of this information
by getting their families out Of here
with a rush. The government herder,
John Dwyer, and Issue Clerk Pugh have
both discovered. through their Indian
friends OF years standing, that raid
and massacre has been fully decided
upon and securely planned.
Gen. Miles is thoroughly converSant
with all these facts, and says that the
situation here is exceedingly critical.
There are less than 900 soldiers here now
all told.
