INDIAN SCOUTS KILLED.
A Party Of Hostile Cheyennes Make
. Raid Upon Carr's Sioux
Scouts.
Fourteen Riderless Horses Are
Brought Into the Camp Of
the Savages.
The Soldiers Took Little Part In tho Fight
Tho Opinion Of Father Crafts
Of the Cause.

PINE KIDoE, Jan. 2.-Fourteen cavalry
horses with saddles and other equipments
on were brought into the hostile camp by
young warriors last night. Scouts heard the
hostiles make remarks to the effect that there
were fourteen less soldiers to fight and the
hostilcs lost only two warriors in getting
the cavalry horses, etc. Tho scouts report
has created new sensation here which is
being followed up by increased activity
around military headquarters. That a
battle or skirmish has taken place, in
which Brooke's or Carts command has lost
men, there is little doubt.
Later in the day another scout brought q
second report TO the effect that a skirmish
had occurred. Scout No. 2 said he learned
that Cheyenne hostiIes made rush upon
last night and killed several of them. When
the scout asked ss.stheT any soldiers
were engaged in tbs Asirn,ish he was told
that they were but th. they took very lit
tie part in it. A nugM ,of reports have
been brought in by al Zsnment employees
stationed in various parts Of the reserva-
ton to the effect that the country seems
alive with hostile scouts. As yet the au-
thorities have been unable to get at the
truth of the report regarding cavalry horses
in the hostile camp, though this report re-
garding an attack by Cheyenne hostiles
seems to somewhat verify it.
Instead Of keeping troops in huddled
condition in the centre of camp as Brooke
had them, Gen. Miles has to-day thrown
them out into permanent picket lines upon
the top of the ridge that encircles the agency
valley, and is having rifle pits and board
shelter built for them, the one
for use in case of attack and
the latter to shelter them while off duty.
In other words. instead of the agency build
inf surrounding the soldiers. the soldiers
are to surround the agency. Indeed, dur
ing the brief time since Gen. Miles arrival
here the entire face of affairs has under
gone radical change Two of tho
wounded hostiles, taken prisoners after
the Wounded Knee battle, died to-day. The
wounded soldiers are doing we'll. Father
Crafts, the Catholic missionary, much to
this surprise of surgeons, is getting we'll.
The body of one of the government herd
e-s was found to-day some distance from
the agency riddied with bullets.

SOME FACTS ABOUT LITTER.
A Resident of Helena for Three Years and
an Industrious Mechanic.

A Resident of Helena for Three Years and
an Industrious Mechanic.
Frederick A. Litter, whose tragic death
at Anaconda is told in the dispatch from
that place. was 43 years old in October last.
He lived with his family. wife and two
children, at 737 Fifth avenue, Helena. The
eldest child is a girl of about seven years and
the youngest boy of three years. When
Mrs. Litter was informed of her husbands
death on New Years day she went to the
bank to get money for the purpose of going
to Anaconda. 1t being legal holiday she
could not get into the bank. and yesterday
morning she received information that the
body had been buried by Litter's fellow
workmen at Anaconda. For the present
shs will allow it to remain there.
The Litters came to Helena three years
ago from Cleveland. Ohio. Litter was u
first class mechanic, and being AN industri-
ous man, the family got along very well.
Recently they had bought lot and the
brick to build house with, and it was
Litter's intention TO work on his new resi-
dence in the spring, or earlier If the
weather permitted. He had a sub-contract
for the brick work Oh the Rodney street
school building, but did not succeed in
making much money out of 1t.
About six weeks ago he went to Butte and
from there to Anaconda, finding work ut
the latter place. A little over two weeks
ago he went back to Butte, where the smoke
made him sick, and he came home to re-
cuperate. He was all right i'll four days
and went back 10 Butte. where he was again
taken sick. This time. instead of coming
to Helena. he went to Anaconda. From
letters sent to his wife. he is thought to
have been doing very well. and Mrs. Litter
had heard of no trouble with his foreman.
Litter was not hard drinking man, and
his condition on the day he killed himself
may have been the effect of his two recent
spells of sickness. 4 sad incident OF the
affair is the letter Mrs. Litter got yesterday
from Chillicothe. Ohio. from her husbands
people, saying his mother was on her death
bed and was very anxious to hear from her
son. Last night Mrs. Litter was engaged
in writing reply conveying the sad intel
ligence of her husbands death.

orator, but on the occasion in question he
cxcclled himself, having gone so far as to
refer to Mrs. Parncll as San English pros

The particulars of the assault are as
follows: Mr.. McDcrmott, who is solic-

The Irish Clergy in Politics.

ConK, Nov. 4.-singular statements are
alleged by the Parnellite leaders as to the
intimidation of voters by the clergy. II
is said that anathema has been threatened
against electors who should dare to vote
the Parncll ticket; that men were told to
drop the Parnellite cause under peril Of
being denied the rights Of the church, land
that women we're appealed to by the priests
to influence their husbands against the
Parnellite cause It's thought probable
that in. the event .af an anti-Parnellite
victory on Friday. ,Mr, Redmond will con-
test the election. on the alleged ground of
priestly intimidation and dictation. The
ParnelIites claim that hut for the priests
they could carry the district with ease,
but that the clergy spare no effort to
prejudice the minds of the people against
the cause represented by Mr. Redmond.
