a W ii-A III LIE w inter SBFeenWOOu.
The warm fir wool is dark and low
Within sheltered valley deep;
When DER the hills the night winds blow,
They rock its happy tribes to sleep
A thousand tiny tracks are made
Upon its carpet soft and white,
And through its thick and fragrant shade
Brisk bird wings glance in sudden flight
Here feasts are spread and mouths are fed
Where seeds and buds are scattered wide,
And many a warm and coy bed
Is heaped where dreaming sleepers hide.
Sometimes n golden sunbeam strays
within to light the green and white:
Sometimes at night the full moons rays
Fiji these dim aislcs with silver light.
But we are interlopers here
our steps are strange, our voices new,
The dwellers shy look forth in fear
And vanish with a swift adieu.

TIE INDIAN oAMPA1GN.

The Redskins Loss in the Battle Placed
at 3OO-Whites Killed and Wounded Over
Fifty.
A dispatch from Pine Ridge Agency
says that the battle between the treach-
srous Big Foot hOstiles and the Seventh
cavalry resulted in the killing and
wounding of about seventy-five Of the
cavalry troopers and the almost total
wiping out of the Indian village, compOs-
I'd of about 10 warriors and $50 women
and children. Perhaps half a dozen
Indian children were all that were left
of the entire hostile camp. The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Tuesday
morning received the following dispatch
from Agent D. Roger, dated Pine Ridge
Indian agency, December %: "On
Wounded Knee creek this morning,
while the soldiers were disarming Big
Foot and his band after their surren-
der, a fight took place which resulted in
the killing Of about 500 Indians and sew
eral Of the soldiers, including Captain
Wallace, with "a number wounded. Two
Strike and his party, who were encamp-
ed on White Clay creek just below Red
Clouds house, opened fire on the agency
from the hill tops opposite the board
ing school, wOunding two soldiers. The
police returned the fire, killing two Of
the Two Strike Indians and wOunding
two others. Two Strike and his band
have retreated in a northwesterly direc-
ton from the agency and it is supposed
he is trying to make his way back to
the Bad Lands. Thus far the Pine
Ridge Indians have taken no active part
in the war, but Big Foot, Slow Bear,
Kicking Bear and the Two Strike band
have been and are active in the disturb
ance."

A special 90 the Omaha Bee from Pine

General Miles has assumed conn md
OF the forces here, relieving General
Brooke, who started this morning into
the field with the Second Infantry, 90
ing by way of Oelrichs 90 q point some
fifteen miles north Of here. Yester-
day, amid as wild, binding and BIT
ter wintry storm as ever swept
this bleak and barren country were
laid away to their last rest thirty
of the brave boys who fell with
face to the foe In the bloody encounter
at Wounded Knee. It was . O'Clock
when the funeral cortege, with General
Forsythe and Major Whiteside at the
head, and composed of fifteen wagons
bearing the rudely coffired dead. fol-
lowed by an escort Of Companies A, K,
3, /, ID and z Of the noble but
unfortunate Seventh Cavalry, togeth-
er with an assisting squad from the
Second Cavalry, wound away from the
camp up to the little cemetery situated
at the crest Of the hill northwest Of the
Agency. The surviving members of the
fated Company X looked lonesome
enough with their fearfully thinned
ranks The vacancy, so striking in
contrast to the rest of the column,
caused the tears TO start in the eyes
of many comrade for the comrades
lost. The graves were in rows
Of six, close together, in the
southwest corner OF the cemetery and
also overlooking the camp. After the
reading of the burial service by Rev.
Mr.. Cook, the Episcopal clergyman
here, aided by his assistant the bodies
were lowered into the grave. Owing
TO the intensely critical condition of
the surroundings. with boards of the
enemy hoeking about the agency
threatening an attack, the usual sa-
lutte OF guns was omitted, while soft
notes from the bugle and the wall of
the storm whispered the last good-by.

Two Strike and HIS Band Capture a Pro
vision Train, But Are Routed.
The Omaha Bees special from Rush
vile, Neb., says: Advices from the seat
Of war give the news of another en-
counter between the troops and Indians
at a point within four miles of the
agency. The Seventh and Ninth Cav
airy were just coming in from Mon
days battlefield, followed at some dis
lance by their provision train. On reach
ing the point named a large band Of
Indians. headed by Ckief Two Strike,
dashed suddenly upon the train, captured
it, and were making off toward the Bad
Lands, when the cavalry wheeled and
gave pursuit. In the battle which fol-
lowed over thirty Indians were wound
ed, but no soldiers were killed. Accord
ing to the latest reports, Two Strikes
Indians had Monday been considered
peaceable and subdued. but their sud
den change Of mind causes the gravest
fears at the Agency that perhaps none
OF the so-called friendlies can be relied
on. However, word from General
Brooke to the settlers Tuesday is some
what reassuring, it being TO the effect
that a great body of the savages
have remained loyal all the time,
while nearly all Che rebels are dead. He
further says the settlers here are not in
danger. Reliable news is also at hand
that Colonel Henry is now approaching
the agency with 200 Indians captured
in the Bad Lands This is believed to
include all of the rebels on the reserva-
ton, and hopes are entertained Of a
speedy settlement. It has cost the lives
OF about $50 Indians and twenty-five or
thirty soldiers killed and wounded to
effect this result, if indeed, it may be
said that peace is yet established.

AT PINE RIDGE.
Frenzied Warriors Want to Die
killing White Men.
A Night of acknowledgements From
General Miles TornUp.

A special 70 the Inter-Ocean from Pine
Ridge dated the 18Th, says; Last night
was one of feverish excitement to mary
at the Agency. For the first time the
squaw men and half-breeds were alarm
ed. and remained up all night fearing
that an attack would be made before
morning. The Agency is too well guard
ed to permit any large force to approach
very close without discovery. but it
would be hard to prevent few daring
individuals from creeping up some Of
the numerous ravines and throwing
fire-arrOWs into barns and havetacl5s
The friendly spies all say that there
are a large number of warriors
in the enemy's camp who have worked
themselves up to a condition of
frenzy similar to those who committed
suicide at Wounded Knee. They say
they want 10 die, and are going to die
while killing white men. 1t is also said
that two bucks escaped alive from the
Wounded Knee fight, who swore that
they VIII set the Agency on fire and
xiii the agent themselves. General
Miles has his troops all around the
enemy,and could throw all in any day and
have a tremendous battle. but could not
prevent small bands escaping here and
there, which would have to be followed
mp by the soldiers, which would
place the lives of many set
tiers in danger By holding his
troops until a much larger force
can be thrown around the Indians the
trouble can be confined 10 the reserve.
