There appears to be no material change
in the situation at Pine Ridge. Tlie
troops are alf concentrated around the
hostile who art moving towards the
ngeccy, but at a very slow pace. It is
thought that all will come in and then
Gen. Miles will demand their arms and
that will be when a hard and decisive
battle will occur. It is thought by some
that the redskins have tiidden the most
of their arms and ammunition in the
canyons so that they can come in, give
up a few weapons, be forgiven and have
plenty to eat given them until spring and
then go out, get the hidden guns and
proceed to take the war path in good
shaie. It is quite likely that the men in
charge of the camign will provide
igainst any such plan.
The state troops have been placed
nlong the line between the regulars and
tettlers as a reserve, so as to prevent any
Indians from getting away should they
succeed in breaking the lines of the gov
ernment troops.
Co. D, of the 2d regiment, which was
at Harrison last' week, received orders
about three o'clock Saturday afternoon
Lo proceed to Rushvillo that day, and at
4:30 they were at tlie depot ready to take
the train. Our people regretted the de
parture of tlie company for they were a
tine lot of men and made friends of all
who met them. They carried themselves
like true soldiers and strict dicipline was
observed in all things, and while they
did not appear spoiling for a fight with
Indians, there will be no shirking on the
lrt of Co D if citlled on to go into bat
tle. While hero, some of the boys who
were printers issued a war bulletin from
The Jocrnal oflice, and a great deal of
Mport grew out of it.
On Thursday night, as Judge Barker
was going to the court house where he
occupies a room, he was halted by a
picket who emphasised his command to
lialt with a click of his rifle. The Judge
halted, explained who he was and was
allowed to pass through the lines.
The officers and members regretted to
leave here but orders had to be obeyed.
J. H. Cook is still at Pine Ridgt and
telegraphs each day tliat all is quiet. He
has succeeded in gutting a body of troops
sent to Montrose, or to some point in
that .vicinity to assist in protecting the
settlers should there l occasion.
It it believed that the trouble will
soon be over hut it may require some
hard fighting io settle it but tlm indica
tions are that all the lighting will be
right on the reservation. It is stated
that there has been plenty of chances for
the Indians to kill the settlers, but they
do not appear to have any desire to do so
Reports indicate that there are about
2,500 Indians out. Gen. Miles has about
8,000 regular troops in ttie field, around
them there are about 1,000 Nebraska
troops in the field and in addition to
these are the North and the South Dako
ta troops in the field. If that is not suf
ficient force to subdue (he hofetiles they
should depose the officers for they are no
good as Indian fighters.
Later: Since the above was put in
type the report conies that the Indians
have all surrendered and the trouble is
at au end and now if the government
adopts the proper methods au outbreak
of the Sioux will never occur again.
Village Clerk Verity informs us that
so far during the municipal year there
has not been a dollar of expense except
for the water supply ; and that this has
enabled the heard to pay up over two
hundred dollars of the indebtedness of
the'village. That is certainly a creditale
showing and should the same line of pol
icy be followed, as it certainly ought to
be, it will not be long until improve
ments and txtentioos can be mode in the
water lines.
A good attendance was had at the
meeting on Tuesday evening and a soci
ety organiMd to be known as the Pleas
ant Hour Club. A constitution was
adopted and the following officers elected:
C. E. Terity, Pres. ; Minne Smith, Sec. ;
Belle Guthrie, Treas.; in addition to
which there Is the usual quoto of minor
officers. The society will meet each
Tuesday evening at 7:80 sharp, and all
ore invited to attend and help to make
the meetings interesting and instructive.
A good musical and literary program
will be prepared for each evening.
On last Tuesday, Supt. Hughes' car
was attached to tlie west bound train.
Division Supt. Seeley was with him. In
conversation with The Jocrnal tbt lat
ter stated that there waa no through busi
ness to speak of and tberv it no prospect

Editor JocrnaC: I tee by the1 reports
that there has been' more good 'Indians
added to tlie general roll call. Tna pres
ent Indian campaign is somewhat1 differ
ent to t he campaign of 1883 and 1884 of
which I will try and give an account.
One night, in the fall of 1882, we ware
sampling the hospital cooks best pudding
when we were startled by hearing boots
saddles sounded and in twenty minutes
after the first sound of the trumpet, my
troop of about 30 men was marching out
of the post with 20 rounds of cartridges
in his belt and a kind of a shaking-in-the-boots
feeling but determined to die fight
ing. We marched about Ave miles east
of tlie post to Squaw Creek, where the
Indians were supposed to be butchering
cowboys and driving off cattle. The
lieut. in command gave orders not to
load a gun until we received tlie order to
do so. Here we were going to fight In
dians with empty guns and must wait
the order to load for fear some of the
'men might get hurt. Our chief of
scouts was a cowboy who brought in the
report that there was a large herd of
cattle on Squaw Creek and the Indians
were killing the herders and running
oir the cattle. The said chief of scouts
being a little under the weather. As I
said before we marched east to Squaw
Creek and then came up to the camp
of the herders, and found them sound
asleep and two or three riding around tlie
herd and not an Indian within fifty miles
of them. The forman was astonished to
e a troop of U. S cavalry coming down
on them and after the lieut. told him
why we were there he jumped to his feet
and striking the chief of scouts, putting
a dark shade to one of bis eyes, taking
away his pony, told hint to fet out of
his camp and never show himself there
again. He was brought back to the post
between a sargeant and private who
each clasped a hand on each side of him
and made the poor fellow run most of
way back. He was escorted ofT the res
ervation next morning and advised
that the next time he got
separated from his company and
they fired a few shots to let him know
where they were, not to get scared and
ride into a military post and report In
dians, and tie never has to my knowledge.
So ended my first Indian campaign.
Abotifi 11 o'clock,- one night in the fall
of 1884, 1 wad awakened from a ,oujd
sleep by the captain coming into the or
derly room and sayings "Sergeant, have
a detail of twenty men report to Lieut.
A. at 4 o'clock in the morning, as two
settlers with tlicii' families have come in
from up on White River and reported
that there were about five hundred shots
llred and they were afraid that it was In
dians." The detail reported and left the
post at 4 a. ni. and after a weary march
of six miles, n corporal in the party es
pied the enemy irt the bush. He quickly
dismounted anii picking up a club made
a dash and nl lej several attempts suc
ceeded in killing him, the rest of the men
sitting on their horses watching the fun.
Then they proceeded on their march up
the conyon and found the cause of the
trouble peacefully sleeping under a tree.
Said cause being two men from one of
the troops out hunting and becoming
separated from each other and darkness
over taking them, they fired a few shots
to And each other. The detachment
came bock and reported the cause of the
shots being fired and the settlers then re
turned home. Some of the settlers were
braver and stayed out in the bush and
thought that every bush was an Indian
until daylight when they came to the
conclusion tliat they were sold and the
only benefit derived was oc.e skunk kill
ed. Every time the corporal would
come into the quarters, the boys would
catoh their nose between the thumb and
forefinger and say, "I believe I smell In
dians." W. J. M.

Dear SiV Senator Stevens and
myself are working on a bill which ap
propriates f 100,000 for the relief of the
drouth sufferers of Nebraska, and in or
der that the different counties may re
ceive their share it will be necessary for
them to organize and rep6rt'totb State
Relief committee, tlie amount of provis
ion, clothing, feed and seed needed.
The manner of organizing should be
yourself with the county commissioners
should appoint a justice of the peace or
three reliable men in each precinct to re
port to you tlie number in each of their
respective precincts requiring assistance
such as we have named.
Instruct them to report only those ac
tually in need. When you receive the
various reports, make a condensed state
ment which should show the amount of
provisions, clothing, feed and seed your
county will need. By doing this your
county wil receive its share of the ap
propriation! Send the condensed' report
as soon as possible to the State Relief
Committee, Lincoln, Nebraska.
We expect to get this appropriation
through immediately and have memori
alized congress, asking them to appropri
ate $100,000 for the same purpose, of
which if allowed, your county will get
its share. I am' Very Truly Yours,
