who rushed in with the startling news
that the mission building, where there
are a number of CathaIic priests and
sisters and hundreds of Children was
surrounded by hostiles and had been
set on fire. The caYairymen, who had
had scarcely any rest for four days,
were instantly in the saddle, and,
with a couple of Hotchkiss guns,
started on a gallop for, the mission.
AS the dispatch was being written the
roar of the guns could be. heard, indi-
eating that a hot fight was in progress.

and other chiefs ran away from the
agency Monday night after hearing of
the Wounded Knee fight, taking with
them handreds of warriors. They also
compelled the old chief, Red Cloud, to
