 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-General Schofeld received another telegram from General Miles detailing the circumstances of the killing of Lieutenant Casey by the Indians as follows: Reports from General Brooke state that LieutenantE. w. Casey, Twenty second infantry, was killed to-day. There had been fighting and skirmishing on that part of the line for several days. Lieu tenant Casey was out with his scouts watching the hostile camp, and with one Cheyenne met two Indians, an Ogallalla and Brule. The Ogallalla warned Lieu tenant Casey that the Brules were bad and would shoot. AS Lieutenant Casey turned to go away the Brule fired, striking him in the back of the head and killing him in- stantly. Lieutenant Casey was one of the most brilliant and beloved men of the ser vice. There is report of heavy firing in or near the hostile camp, that may be be- tween the two clements of the Indian camp.
 Secretary Noble this morning sent 8 dispatch to Agent Rover at Pine Ridge dis missing him from the service. The secre- tary directs him to turn over the property to Captain Pierce, First infantry, who will temporarily act as agent at that point.
 PINE RIDGE, Jan. S.-Last night Gen eral Brooke sent out detachment under Lieutenant Getty to recover the remains of Lieutenant Casey. The body was found stripped, but not mutilated. Red Cloud came into the agency this morning. The old man stepped out of the hostile camp last night and with his wife walked sixteen miles to this place.
 BOISE CiTY, Idaho, Jan. 8.-Advices received from Pocatello, Idaho, state that the Indians on the Fort Hall reservation have been dancing and POO in war paint have taken to the mountains with arms, causing great excitement. Governor Wiley has been asked to order the militia to Poca- tello and probably company of United States cavalry at Boise barracks will be sent there. The Indians on the reservation number 1 200 or 1, 800, more than half of whom are Bannocks who caused the pro- 1onged war twelve years ago. The people of Pocatello have almost no arms, and the towns of Blackfoot and Eagle Rock are on the border of the reservation. The In dians who took to the mountains are work ing eastward towards Wyoming. The be- lief is expressed that, if the Npdians at Pocatello go on the warpath, they will be joined by the tribes on the Lemhi reser- vation, who number 500, embracing 125 able-bodied bucks.
