Among the Dead Indians.

RUsHvILLE, Neb., Jan. 7.-Sixty-five
zsquaVVs, with about the same number of
lTsaPOoses, came in to Pine Ridge agency
from the hostile camp about six miles
away and are being taken care OF.
There is great suffering among the
FEoSGjleS on account of scarcity of food
and shelter No movement of troops is
protected.
It Is stated that General Forsythe is
TO DE reinstated till the close of the
campaign.
Captain O'ConneH, First infantry,
United States regulars, arrived at Craw-
ford last night with the Indian chief,
Young Man-Afraid- His Horses, ac-
~cOmPauied by three other Indians.
They will go to Pine Ridge agency,
where they will use their influence to
-queH the present Indian troubles.
Every thing now points to q battle
between the hostiles and the friendly
Indians who desire to leave the hostile
camp and come to the agency. Red
Cloud has signitied his desire to return
TO the agency, but he is nearly blind
and no one will volunteer to lead
him in, for the Brules threaten the
death of the first person that attempts
60 desert the hostile band. The older
Indians want to come in but the young
bucks insist on fighting.
The Gordon of troops is drawing
Fighter around the hOstiles, who are
1tept on guard night and day. Fires are
Being burned at night to prevent any
one from escaping from their camps.
General Miles has sent a peace commits
sion to the hOs5iles and if they still re-
fuse to come in their camp will be bonn
HlaCded. Machine and shell guns are
31eing placed on all sides of the camp
SOr this purpose, General Miles is fast
Becoming impatient and if the Indians
do not obey the order to come in he will
attack them.
The party sent to Wounded Knee to
bury the dead Indians returned late
last night. They found and buried
cighty-four bucks and sixtY-three
ssquaws and children. 1t was also found
that five had been buried by the In
dams. In addition to this total of 152
Others have been carried away by hos
tile scouts, etc. sufficient to swell the
ss8Ismber of dead Indians as result of
the battle of Wounded Knee to fully
300, with several others yet to die in the
GInprOvised hospital here.
A little Indian baby girl about three
esnonths old, one of the youngest sur
~VivOrs of the battle of Wounded Knee.
who lay for three days beside the dead
tbOdy of its mother, has been adopted by
Mrs Allison Mai1or, wealthy lady of
New York City.
That the search for the dead was not
conclusive was proved yesterday when
AN Indian brought into the agency the
body OF Private Francis Ghetto, of troop
C, Seventh cavalry, found in a ravine
sig miles from the battlefield to
e4lle north. The unfortunate soldier
E9zsGi been mutilated in "A horrible
Ez4Anser. Every bone in the body was
Broken and the scalp removed. Ghetto
was probably killed in one of the Skin
Ellishes and overlooked. He was buried
S0-day with military hOnors in the res
SerVation cemetery.
The earthworlxs around the agency
arc growing steadily in size and
strength. General Miles will in all
probability draw in about half of the
Anstiies. but there are 500 to 400 who are
EAs crazy as Big Foot's men, and nothing
can be done with them but to shoot
them.
The court of inquiry to investigate
the conduct of General FOrsythe at the
battle of Wounded Knee is composed of
Major Whiteside, General Carr and
Captain Baldwin. Carr is expected and
rttic court will probably meet to-day.
The inquiries are: Were the troops
properly placed; were they properly
handled; was there unnecessary siaugh-
ter of Indians? The only difference of
opinion heard expressed so far is on the
first count; all agree ON the second and
. third. that no one could have done bet
s1zeE than Forsythe.
