making some serious charges against
them aud then winds up by an appeal to
arms and a demand ihat J. E. Boyd be
seated as governor by force, if it is not
done peaceably. We trust the Journal
man will not deluge thu state with gore,
especially in the absnce of the state
militia, as there is no telling where the
trouble would end in a sanguinary
battle between the alliance, armed with
pitchforks and spades, confronted by the
sons of democracy, in battle array,
armed with plug hats, cigarettes and a
larce display of mouth. In die buttle it
more than likely that the democracy
would be wiped from the face of the
earth, we, therefore, in the interests of
humanity, beseech and plead with our
contemporarv not to ero upon the war
path, but to counsel peace and harmony.

sports that were in attendance. -The
shooting will be at black birds, as they
are called, which is a sort of clay and
pitch saucer shaped article, thrown from

bird, but there are plenty of our fellows
that are able to mako very creditable

THEY SUE FOR I'EACE
The Pine Ridge Band Anxious
to Come in, b"t They Want
the Best of the Bargain.
Immediate Surrender the Only Alter-
natiqe Left Them and Full
Compliance Probable.
The War Spirit Takes Flight.
Pink Kiduk Aokncv, S. D., (via
Rushvillc, Neb., Jan. G. Special.
Yesterday afternoon young Jack Red
Cloud, Big Road, High Horse, Little
Hawk, Lone Hear and live others came
in to treat fr peace in behalf of the
Pine Ridge Agency Indians. They
I sought General Miles and held a short
council, more brief and emphatic,douht-
let-s. than they had anticipated. General
Aiihs ordered them to come andsurrend
er at once. That he wouid listen to
none of their complaints; that after the
affair was arranged heie they could go
to Washington and make their com
plaints to the proper authorities. They
wished him to withdraw the troops from
here aud these surrounding them, which
the general refused to do.
The red men were of course disappoint
ed that they could not make terms of
peace, but General Miles plainly let
them understand that he was the person
in the position to make the terms or
peace. I bey then asked lor tne usual
delay of time, saying they had twenty-
six wounded persons aud that they could
not be safely moved at present, further
asking that the troops be not sent out
against them. Miles replied saying they
had better come in soon. He would
make no promise as to the noa movement
of the troops.
The reason for delay appears some
what ludicrous when it is remembered
that they are only distant from ten to
twelve miles. They were asked to bring
in the wounded and they would receive
the best of medical attendance.
These Indians will hold another brief
talk to Jay with General Miles and then
return to their friends. They report all
Pine Ridgo Indians want peace, but it is
doubtful if they can persuade the others.
as they have always wished for war, and
want to fight now. If the Pine Ridge '
Indians do return this will reduce the
hostile force to about 2,000 all told.
This force the troops can easily conquer
if they persist in their determination for
war. The Pine Ridge Agency Indians
will doubtless return to this place in a
day or two.
Another Engagement.
Rushville, Neb. Jan. 6. A special
from the camp near Wounded Knee creek
gives particulars of another engagement
which took place at that point yesterday
morning. A detachment of thirty men
was sent ont to meet a wagon train with
supplies for the camp and when ten miles
sent back to the camp for reinforcements
but in the'meantime an incessant fire was
kept up on both sides, resulting in the
wounding of one soldier and the killins-
and wounding of several Indians, the
exact number could not bo ascertained.
wagon train was escorted to camp.
Rosebud Strongly Guarded.
Rosebud Agency, S. D., (via Valen
tine, Neb.), Jan. 6 Last night Colonel
Poland had the hills strongly guarded,
In case any attack should be made he
will not be caught napping. Only six
companies oi infantry remain for the
defense of the agencv. In case Two
Strike moves this way the agency can be
held for some time, but nothing further
could be done with the force here.
Nothing has been heard from the cavalry
that left for Pine Ridge Monday night.
Charles Tackett, the most intelligent and
best informed mixed blood at Rosebud,
acted as guide.
All is quiet now. The friendly Ind-
ians wero slightly excited oyer the Big I
Foot fight bat are still quiet and orderly
Agent Wright feels confidant that no
one will leave to join Two Strike. All
who wanted to go left long ago.
Gen. Miles' Favorable View.
Washington, Jan. 6. General Scho-
field received the following telpgram
from General Miles, dated Pine Ridjze,
S. D., January 5:
In answer to a communication I sent
to the hostile camp ytsterday saying five
men could ome in and learn what I
expected them to do, the following came
in: Big Road, He Dog, Little Hawk,
Jack Red Cloud and Big Hawk. The
prospects at present are favorable. The
whole camp may surrender, but I do not
wish to anticipate. There are no chang
es in the condition of the troops.
ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
The Body of Private Chette, Horrib
ly Mutilated, Brought in-
Pine Ridge Aokncy, S. IX, (via Rush
ville. Neb.). Jau 6. rSpecial.r That i
the search. for the dead was not conclu
sive was proven today, when an Indian
brought into the agency the body of
Pri yule Francis Chette, of troop C,
Seyinth cavalry. The body was
found in a ravine ;ix miles from
the battlefield to the north. The unfor
tunate soldier had been mutilated in a
horrible manner. Every bone in the
body was broken and the scalp removed.
Chette was probably killed in one of the
skirmishes and overlooked. He was
buried today with military honors in the
reservation cemetery.
Sixty-five squaws, with about the
same number or papooses. came
in from the hostile camp, about
six miles away. tociav. and are
being taken earn of. There is great
suffering among the hostiles on account
of scarcity of food or shelter. No move
ment of troops is projected. It is Btated
that General Forsythe is to be reinstated
till the close of the campaign.
Saved by the Ninth.
Pine Ridgk Agency, S. D Jan. 6.
Special to the Bee. The Seventh cav
alry freely admit that the Ninth cavalry,
under Colonel Henry, saved them from
heavy losses, if not more, the day they
went to the mission. They had been
urawn into a trap by the Indians, and on
attempting to withdraw the Indians
ciosed around them, and they could not
Ulive got out except by heavy losses,
The Nintb though having marched
nearly niuety miles, dashed to the front,
Rnd occupyinK the ridges, opened fire
-jta carbine and Hotchkiss and drove
the Indians back and out of the ravines
in which they were hidden.

and Cramb were appointed to escort the
one armed temporary speaker to the

sat silent while the yote was being taken
which resulted in 55 votes for Johnson
and 21 for Raker.
A committee was then appointed on
credentials, consisting of three indepen
dents, one republican and one democrat.
Church Howe looked up nervously from
his seat behind Watson, who sat in the

assistant eeargeant at arms. He called
attention to the demand for retrenchment
made by the independents, and said that
the last session, which was noted for
extravagance, hfwd no second assistant
seargeant at arms. A spirited debate
followed, the independents opposing the
amendment on the ground that it was
better to give a western sufferer a situa
tion and lt him earn his living, than it
was to make an appropriation for him.
The amendment was not agreed to.
Stevens of Lincoln moved that a com
mittee or seven be selected to name
standing committees, and gaye a list of
seven independents to constitute the
committee. Keifer of Pierce moved to
