A GREAT BATTLE PREDICTED
Farther Bioodsh~d Is Feared at Pine
 RidSe

PINE RIDGE AGsScr, January 6.-Thc indications that the greatest battle in In dian history is almost at haHd, are increas ing. The report of every scout adds new and strong support to these indications that were only emphasized by the bloody affair on Wounded Knee. Gen Miles be. licves exactly this and has said so in strong words. The small handful of In dian employees here affirm it vohem- ently. Before tho terrific clash come. they want to try and rescue their rela- tives from the enemys camp and are now interceding with the authorities, for permission, at the risk of their lives, to make the attempt. These Indians in government employ also express the hope that they can induce many of those whs were friendly before the Wounded Knee battle and were remaining here according to instructions, also to come in and be saved from the certain annihilation that awaits them within the ranks of tho hos tiles.
 Extensive rife pits are reported being dug l2 miles west ol here by the hostiles, and the report Is Of nature that the au. thor!ties rely upon it's truth fitness Last night tho hostiles burned many houses be- longing to the settlers along the White River and finished killing the last remnant of the great herd oi the government that they raided so heavily about A month ago and have been drawing on ever since
 The danger in which Pine Ridge Ageney's white poputace stand at this hour, and must remain until this crisis is n fe ,f ha Since Gen. Miles arrived he has received the most urgent admonition from the ad- ministration to avoid further hloodshed Further bloodshed, however, cannot be avoided, and before the light of another Sabbath the truth of the asser ton will have been proven.

IN THE BAD LANDS.
Three Thousand Indians Eneamped
 There for Their Last Great Fight

WAsHISGToN, D, C., January 3.--Gen Schoheld this morning received telegram from Gen. Miles, dated at Pine Ridge Agency, Jan. ,, saying that 5000 Indians, men, women and children and including section of the Bad Lands about fifteen miles from the Pine Ridge Agency, and there is almost cordon of troops around them. Gen. Miles announces that he hopes to be able to induce the hostiles to surrender without struggle. The spot where they are encamped, he describes as somewhat like the Lava beds of California where the Modocs made their final fight. IL Is an excellent position from an Indian standpoint but there are no avenues of es- cape, all having been closed by the troops Gen. Miles says the Indians have gather- ed some cattle and provisions and appear to be determined to make their fight for supre macy at this point He says he will make another effort to get them back to the agency without blood shed, and in order to do so he has established regular siege around this stronghold.
 SURROUNDING THE Hosru.rs.
 PINE RIDGE, AGEScY, January g.-1he eight companies of the Second Infantry, ordered out by Gen. Miles, under com mand of Gen. Brooke and Staff, will strike Beaver Creek From there they will swing out into as long line as practicable, thus forming the western and part of the northern side of d hollow square, which it now seems it has been decided to form aoost the hostiles. Carr's command has arrived at Wounded Knee, near the point whore the battle took place, which is six miles east of Porcupine Butte, or about sixteen miles northeast of here, as Wounded Knee Post office. Thus it seems that Carr's command is to constitute the east and north sides of the square. From the expression upon the faces of the officers and men as they pulled out through the snow and bitter cold 1t was evident that they did not relish Gen. Miles order. Three companies of the First Infantry from San Francisco have already arrived, and six more are expected to day to re- place the second. A scout came in yester day and reported that the main body of the hostiles had moved back twelve miles from the agency and toward the Bad Lands on the uorth

rhe Path OF the, Northwestern Cyclone.
Thousands Of Acres of Wheat Crop Ut.
terly Ruined.
Reports from various towns in
Stearns, Sherburne and Benton coun-
ties, Mimi, show that much damage
was done to crops by hail-storms that
accompanied the tornado at Superior
Thursday afternoon. The track Of the
hail-storm was from St Joseph, passing
over St Cloud, St Augusta and Fair
haven in Stearns county. Here 1t crossed
the river and struck Haven, Sherburne
county, and the southern portion OF Ben
ton county. The storm was three to five
miles wide and destroyed or seriously
damaged 2,500 acres, or so, 600 bushels
Of wheat. Farmers in that belt have
lost in this way for three successive
seasons, and are left almost destitute
now. Later reports from Superior,
Wis, show that the storm was torna-
do and not cyclone. The collapsed
building was flimsy affair, intended
for hotel. with eighty rooms, and
much feeling is manifested against
Contractor Gross and Proprietor Bedock
on account of the evident unsafety
of the structure. The escape Of all the
carpenters is pointed to as proving
their knowledge of its condition. A
large frame building was blown down
at the corner of Third and Tower
street, South Superior, and reports
from the steel plant say number Of
buildings were blown down, but no cas-
ualties. Lightning played havoc with
the Fisher hotel, Unitarian church,
Union depot and other buildings, but
no serious fires resulted At West Su-
perior five men in all were killed by tha
falling of the new hotel.
