Capt. Francis E. Pierce of the first infantry,
who was assigned to duty as Indian agent at
this place, has been and still is quite sick. His

others throats. Those people who see things
even as through b. glass. ~darkly-are watching the
strife with much interest andare wondering which
of the combatants viii get in the next blow. As
soon as the hostile chiefs had agreed TO sur
render their right to camp anywhere except
where Gen. Miles should designate-for that
was all they did surrender-it was believed by
Gen. Miles that a number of the representa-
tive malcontents should be taken to Washing
ton, where they might talk with the Great
Father of the grievances they have detailed ut
length in the columns of THE STAR. The con-
sent of the authorities in Washington was asked
and obtained.
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT STEPS IN.
Miles then proceeded to select the Indians
should go and was about to send them
eastward when information was received to the
effect that a special agent of the Interior De-
partment would be on at once to take charge of
the chiefs and act as their chaperon to the
capital. This news was what might
be regarded as in the nature of a setback
fol the general, for the whole matter had pre-
viously been conducted by the War Depart
ment. From thence the proposition originally
and 1t was advanced with the idea
that it would assist materially in bridging over
the period of transition between war and peace.
An officer of the ninth cavalry-Lieut. Chas.
Taylor-had been notified that he might be
required to take charge OF the expedition. and
the preliminary arrangements were well under
way when Secretary Noble kicked the props

ture to the ground. Tn idea and its primary
organization and the credit which may attach
to 1t belong entirely to Gen. Miles, but Secre-
tary Noble seems to have been quite successful
in securing possession Of the War Department
hunder Miles does not say much about ii. but |
know he thinks some one has committed grand
larceny. An impression has been abroad here
for some time that the Interior Department was
opposed to any of these Indians journeying to
Washington until Secretary Noble saw they
were bound to come. then he accepted the sit
uation and all the side dishes that go with it.
GEN. MILES MOVE.
1t Is now Gen. Miles turn to move and he
has started. The Interior Department may
have its delegation of Indians, but that aggre-
cation of unprecedented humanity is very
tame indeed when compared with the band of
hostiles which Gen. Miles took with him TO
Chicago today on the same train as that which
bore Special Agent Lewis of the Indian bureau
and his following. While the general will not

certain that in the fullness of time they too will
journey to the national capital and have talks

ARMY OFFICERS ON THE PLAINS.
People who have seen the army officer only
when he has adorned presidential receptions
with his glittering full dress uniform or at such
seasons as called him forth to parade with his
command would never recognize him as he is
in the field. As a leader of the german, clad in
evening dress, he Is, as q rule. most graceful,
but when he gets into the clothing which a
South Dakota climate calls for he is another
individual. More thu q few of the officers

"a more complete submission to the military
power was never known" The facts are that

behaving threateningly as a whole, but who
readily talked peace. came in under the guns
of the command at Pine Ridge Of their own
free will and accord. They made the terms by
insisting that a delegation of their chiefs and

made the best possible terms when his chance
of victory became slim and is now in full en-
joyment of all the rations the Indian bureau
thinks is good for him. He has not been hu-
INFLATED in the least; in fact, Gen. Miles has
been especially careful that his feelings should
not be stirred up in any way. The great body
Of troops have departed and the Indian is here:
holding his ground and behaving as though
there never had been the slightest disagree
ment between him and the Great Father. He
declares. in his sneering way, that the soldiers
are afraid of him, although he knows that to be
untrue, and in a very comprehensive grasp
seems to control all that is left of the situation.

no one here imagines for a moment that any

have written OF this subject before, that a COM

in the speedy transfer of all Indian property to
settlers through active accumulatory efforts on
the part of the settlers. OF course this does
not refer to all the settlers, but to
those adventurers who will not stop short of

the land. There is perhaps a little reason for
being worried about the possibilities of the
near future. These Indians are very unsettled
vet, and it will take them more than two or
three months to get over the rage which fol-
lowed the death Of 30 many friends in engage
ments with the troops, and longer still to for
give or forget the murders which were COM
mitted in this vicinity under the shadow OF the
war cloud A great deal depends on the
promises made the delegation which started
today for Washington, for although the Indian
has been deceived by governmental promises q
thousand times, he stands ready to be fooled a
little more, and in this way the evil day may
DE postponed. One Of the things which
SHOULD be- attended to at once is the settlement
of the claims of those friendly Indians who lost

out under the following order, a mandate which
is being rigidly enforced:

GEN. MILES AND HIS BOOM.
II Gen. Miles is still the possessor of a presi-
boom it must be evident to any one
with the situation that the boom is
not in good working rider. Enthusiastic
friends of the generals have declared him to
be a presidential candidate. and those who
could hardly be classed as friends have given
the idea wings and then proceeded to make it
fly most erratically. This war. when connected
with other successful campaigns, would capture
the SOLD vote of the great west, said the enthus-
lasts, and s~traightway the anti-Miles men
charged that blood would be shed to add luster
to what no one denied was a brilliant record.

HOW LIEUT.. CASEY WAS sHor.
There seems to have been some difficulty in
securing, or anyhow, in writing, the precise
story Of Casey's death. I got them the other
day from the best possible source, and as no
one seems to have troubled to go as far as that
to get facts l send you the precise result. H.
C.. Thompson was Lieut.. Casey's right-hand
man, his chief of scouts, and 1t was he who
narrated the sad story.
o the morning Of January g." said Mr..
Thompson, 'Lieut. Casey said he was going
out to take a look at the tepees of the Brule
hostiles, some seven or eight miles away. He
asked me to give him two good men and I
picked out two of the best Cheyennes we had
White Moon and Rock Road. Then he told me
to ask White Moon to take him to a place from
which he could see the Brule camp. White Noon
at once replied that it was too dangerous and dis
played a good deal of quiet opposition to tax
ing a white officer on such n risky trip. Then
Lieut.. Casey asked to be taken as close as was
possible and still be safe. White Moon said he
would, buthe kept on insisting thatit was a dam
gerous venture. TIL rest of this was told me
by White Moon He said that after leaving
camp Casey met r. Sioux man and woman, the
latter dressed like a white woman. What the
conversation was about neither White Moon
nor Rock Road knew. because it was carried on
in English. They left this couple and went on
a little further, when they met a Sioux man who
said it was verya dangerous place TO be in. The
scouts did their best to tel Casey what a risk
he was running, but he insisted on going for
ward for the purpose, he then said. of talking
to Red Cloud. AT this point Rock Road stopped,
declining most positively to go any further.
White Moon had pleaded with Casey the best
he knew how. and finding his words of no use
he caught the lieutenant by the arm and
held him in a last endeavor to dissuade
White Moon again and again told him he would
be killed, but Casey rode on. Foul young
Sioux were then coming toward the lieutenant
and his scout and White Moon stopped, think
ing that Casey would not dare go on alone.
Casey was determined, however, and after

unanimously, was 20 get out of their reputable
uniforms and into the baggiest and most
thoroughly worn outfits they could lay their
hands ON. Heavy underwear was fashionable
at all times and in all places. FLANNEL shirts
were decidedly popular, and some Of the more
chilly young gentlemen wore as many az two

the pcssessors of bucksain shirts put them on,
and those who were less fortunate tried their
best To get some. Such garments as these,
however, were not visible TO the popular eve,
and they had nothing 10 do with the outward
appearance OF those whom they kept warm.
What the ordinary observer saw was the dirty
and often ragged blouses, and the frequently
patched and worn pants-none of them wore
trousers. A handkerchief served in place Of q
collar around many necks. and i have seen

nor the handkerchief was as clean as their

To become popular among such men-and
this country swarms with them-the only thing
Gen. Miles had to do was to wipe out the entire
