Their Best Weapons.

OMAHA. Jan. 17-The following was
received from Pine Ridge Thursday
night:
The hostile Indians came into the
agency this morning The advance guard
had scarcely reached the agency when
Big Road sent word that he had collect
ed the arms Of his followers and wanted
to surrender them to the agency. When
the weapons came in they We're found to
consist Of simply two short guns, a heavy
rifle and broken carbine, two Sharps
rifles and one Winchester, nine guns in
all This surrender is an evidence that
the Indians do not propose to give up all
their guns, and that they have hidden
their best weapons in the hills.
The Brules and Ogallaiay
This afternoon the Brules abandoned
their proposed camp near Red Cloud's
house, and pitched their tepees with the
Ogallalas. forming a camp nearlyaa mile
and a half in length, connecting with
the friendlies south Of the agency. The
main part Of the camp extends west
ward from White Clay creek, up the
bluffs. on the summit Of which the III
dians have posted pickets to prevent IA
surprise. They took possession Of the
bluifs inst about the time the main
body reached its camping ground. sud
denly appearing as display party. both
monntpd and on foot. after the most an
nrovad military fashion.
since the surrender by Big Reaa-of
ma nine rifles tbis morning nothing has
bpnn heard or received from the hostile
camn All the euns. rifles and Hotch-
kiss onns in the agency are. however,
trained in that direction tonight. and
the indications of life in that quarter
will be watched with interest.
To-mo1Tow If is expected the other
chiefs will turn over to Agent Pierce
the arms of their followers. but it is
doubted whether the surrender will eX-
hausf the supply Of the hostiles. The
Indians of the Big Road have done in
+bc matter OF giving up their miserable
WcaDOns the same as the warriors of Big
Foot When fine tepecS of the latter
were searched for weapons, which it was
known they contained. the massacre at
wounded Knee took place. There is
doubt entertained. however, that Gen.
Miles will order q searching of tepees for
onv more arms
There is also a certainty that he will
NOT seek fo1, hidden weapons in the Bad
Lands. or near the camp sites which the
bostiles have abandoned. Such being
the case. the Indians will scarcely miss
tbe weapons which they have surren-
drred or viii voluntarily surrender,
knowing that they may at any time re-
gain possession OF those which they have
Temporarily stored away in their tepees
or in the hills. Gen. Miles has already
assured the Indians that hereafter they
will have nothing to complain OF 50 lar
as their treatment by the government Is
concerned.
The band Of Young Man Atrald-ot-
His-Horses. which has been visiting the
Crows for the past two months, and
numbering about 300, arrived to-day.
They were accompanied by about tltty
of the most aged and Worn-out hostile
squaWs that have ever peeh seen on the
reservation.
The newspaper correspondent made
an attempt tonight to enter the hostlle
camp. but was prevented by. some
friendly Indians, Inc latter clam the
hostilcs, especially the younger ones, are
in a very bad humor They are suspi-
