NO CONFERENCE WITH RED CLOUD.
1t was expected that Gen. Miles would
hold a conference to-day with Red Cloud,
but the expectation was not realized. Gen.
Miles has decided that he will hold no more
talks with the aged chief, as he had given
him an ultimatum several days ago TO
abandon the hostiles or suffer the conse-
quence. The arrival Of the old man is
considered as an evidence of his good faith,
as is also the effort he made to save Lieut..
Casey's life by warning him Of has danger.
Red Cloud told of the fight between the
Ogallollas and Brules. shorty succeeding the
killing of Lieut.. Casey. The former made
an effort to separate from the Brules and
return to the egency. The latter objected,
firing at them number of shots, all OF
which, however, passed over their heads,
no one being injured. This morning about
200 of the Ogallollas succeeded in forsaking
the Brules, and in a light fall of snow came
into the agency.
Young Man-Afraid-of-hi his. Horse, with sew
eral members of his band, returned to-day
from their friendly visit TO the Crows, and
were granted an audience by Gen. Miles.
Isaac Miller, cook Of the herdsr camp,
who was brought in yesterday murdered,
was buried to-day.
BUFFALO BILL ARRIVES.
Buffalo Bill, attended by Bucksin Jack,
arrived at noon from Rushville in the face
of stiff breeze, his imperial and mustache
coated with ice. He was warmly greeted
| by several hundred Indians who thronged
about the suffers store and later called upon
| Gen. Miles He bore a letter from
Gov. Thayer setting forth Col.
| Cody's connection with the
state militia and assuring Gen. Miles of the
hearty cooperation Of the state troops. The
! latter have extended lines toward Pine
Ridge for ten miles from the towns at which
they are located, and mounted men patrol
between the several companies so that no In
dian may pass through the lines. Gen. Miles
heartily approved Of the arrangement.
The wounded, all the squsws and pap
pooses are quartered in the Episcopal
church Of the Holy Cross and the Catholic
schoolhouse. One woman, whose name is
unknown, died to-day. She was shot in
seven places. The chief surgeon directed
the ampptatlon of one limb. When the
news reached the bucks they protested
loudly against amputation. The operation
was accordingly abandoned, with the above
result. Five more of these creatures. il is
expected, cannot survive One of them is
the wife of Big Foot, whose command pre-
cipitated the light.
At the suggestion Of Buffalo Bill, Gen. Miles
tonight sent out scouts to ascertain whosthe
Indians are that have been seen at the head
of Snake river south Of Niobrara. Late to.
night it is reported to the Associated Press
war correspondent that 800 Indians, said to
be coming in to the agency, are reported in
