10 Decided Movement Yet Made by the
Hostile Indiana.
Tr1n the Evening Stars Stan Correspondent.
PNH RIDGE AGENCY, SD, Jan. 14--The hos
tiles are apparently no nearer coming this
morning than they were twenty-four hours
ago. They are still encamped in the same
place they have occupied for two days, and
have not expressed any desire to approach
nearer the strong military force now
ready for business. In the rear Of
the hostiles is Gen. Brooke and a large
body Of troops, but no movement was either
made or expected Gen Miles insists that the
hostiles practically surrendered when they en-
camped within easy range of the big rifed guns,
but the fact remains that the delegation Of hos
tile chiefs and head men, which was to have
come in yesterday for the purpose Of discussing
the situation, failed to put in appearance.
Young Man-Afraid-of-H is-Horse came to the
agency and had a lengthy talk with Gen. Miles.
He returned to the hostile camp bearing with
him an ultimatum that must force matters to a
speedy conclusion. Whether it will be q
bloody one or not only time will tell.
TROUBLE NEARLY CAUSED.
An empty wagon train came in today
from Gen Brooke's camp near the Catholic
mission and its passing within range Of the
hostile camp came dangerously near
producing the trouble which every one
hopes will be avoided A young Brule hostile,
armed with a long-range Winchester, took aim
at one of the officers and was with difficulty
prevented from killing him. The Indians who
interfered were Ogsllailas. These counseled
peace.
MURDKRERs DEMANDED OF THE HosrMEs.
1t il believed that Gen. Miles has demanded
the surrender of the Indian who killed Lieut..
Casey, Herder Miller and the trooper of the
ninth cavalry. All these killings have been
covsrdly murders Late last night it became
known that Iron Hawk was arguing viciously
and noisily in the hostile camp against
the proposition on, to o,,. surrender i;. their tsd.
hostiles will be murdered by the
soldiers'if they give up their guns. An early
no means improbable, and there informa-
tion TO the effect that the warlike Brules would
break away from the temporizing Ogallallas at
midnight This did not occur.
Gen Miles, Col. Corbin and Capt. Maus were
up nearly all night and couriers were sent to
Gems. Brooke, Carr and Wheaton
NO STAMPEDE TO THE BAD LANDS.
Sensational reports have been sent from here
to eastern papers in which it was stated that
several hundred Brule warriors broke through
the northern line of troops and got away to the
Bad Lands The only foundation for such
rumors is the known desire of the Brules to get
away.
1t is generally understood that the report of
the board of inquiry in the Forsythe case is in
the hands of Gen. Miles, and there is an i'm
preston abroad TO the effect that Mai. Kent
and Capt Baldwin are not of one mind as to
what ought to be done.
shortly before midnight word was received
from Col Merriam. seventh infantry stating
that party of citizens had killed one of a
party of twelve hostile Indians on the CHEYENNE
river about seyenty-fiye miles north of this
place Two horses we're also killed and two
wagons captured Glib.
