PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. b., via Rush
vile, Neb., Jan. 15.-This afternoon the
Bfules abandoned their proposed camp
near Red Clouds house. and pitched
their tepees with the Ogallalas, forming
camp nearly mile and half in
length, connecting with the friendlies
south of the agency. The main part eff
the camp extends westward from White
Clay creek up the bluffs, on the sum-
NIT of which the Indians have posted
pickets to prevent surprise. They
took possession of the bluffs just
about the time the main body reached
its camping ground, suddenly ap-
pearing as a display party, both mount
ed and on foot, after the most approved
military fashion. Since the surrender
by Big Road of the nine,rifles this after
noon, nothing has been heard or re-
ceived from those in camp. All the
guns, rifles and Hotchkiss guns in the
agency are, however, trained in that di-
rectiOn tonight, and the indications of
life in that quarter will be watched with
interest. Tomorrow it is expected the
other chiefs will turn over to Agent
Pierce
The Arms
of their followers, but it is doubted
whether the surrender will exhaust the
supply Of the hOstiles. The Indians of
Big Road have done in that matter of
giving up their miserable weapons, the
same as the warriors of Big Foot when
the tepeeS OF the latter were searched
for weapons which it was known they
contained, land the massacre at Wounded
Knee took place. There is doubt en-
tertained, however, that Gen. Miles
will order searching OF tepees for any
more arms. There is also certainty that
he will not seek for hidden weapons
in the Bad Lands or near the
camp sites which the hostiles have
abandoned. Such being the case, the
Indians will scarcely miss the weapons
which they have surrendered or will
voluntarily surrender, knowing that
they may at any time regain possession
of those which they have temporarily
hills. Gen. Miles has already assured
the Indians that hereafter they will
have nothing to complain of so sfar as
their treatment by the government is
concerned. Gen. Carr reached
The Beef Corral
tonight with Troops A, Capt. Blockson;
G, Capt. Stanton; ID, Lieut.. Scott; E,
Capt. Kramer; F, Capt. Ii. Carter; &,
Frank West; II, Capt. Wallace: /, Lieut..
Sands, and K, Capt. Kerr. all OF the
Sixth cavalry. Gen. Wheaton is now
flanking the Indians on the west, and
Col. Sanford is f1anking them on the
east. The missing commands will either
reach the agency this evening or be
ready to respond at moments notice.
The band of Young Man Afraid-of His
Horses, which has been visiting the
Crows for the past two months, and
numbering about 800, arrived to-day.
They were accompanied by about
so of the most aged and worn
our hostile squaws that have ever been
seen on the reservation. Your corre-
spondent made an attempt tonight to
enter the hostile camp, but was pre-
vented by some friendly Indians. The
latter claim that the hostiles, especially
the younger ones, are in very bad
humor. They are suspicious of the in
tent Of the military, and are exercising
the same vigilance guarding against
surprise as if they had not agreed to
come in at the request of Gen. Miles at
late hour tonight, and there were no
lights visible among the tepees, and it
appeared as if the ghost dance. which
was INDUCED in by some of the young
men, had been discontinued.
