wintry storm ns ever swept this bleak and
barren country , wo have just laid away to
their last rest thirty of the bravo boys who
fell with face to the fee in ttio bloody en
counter at Wounded ICneo tho-day before
yesterday. It wns 3 o'clock when
the funeral cortege , with General For-

bearing the rudely colllned dead ,
followed by nil escort composed of Companies
A. K , B , I , D nnd E of the noble but unfortu
nate Seventh cavalry together with an as
sisting squad from the Second cavalry ,
wound away from tun camp up to the llttlo
cemetery situated at the crest of the bill
southwest of the agency. The surviving
members of the fated Company 1C looked
lonesome enough , with their fearfully thinned
ranks. The vacancy so striking , in contrast
to tbo rest of the column , caused the tears to '
start in the eyes of many a comrade for the
comrades lost.
The graves were In rows of six close
together in the southwest corner of the ceme
tery and overlook the camp , whereupon ,
Christmas oven , these now cold In death had
mndo merry together , and looked forward
with confidence to just as merry a Now

After the reading of the burial service by

It has been repeatedly suggested hero that
in the event of further hostilities part of , .
the state militia might be used
to good advantage in the small railroad

against straggling bands , Inasmuch as under

yesterday that the Catholic mission buildings
had been tired by hostiles nnd the inmates
were beinc massacred , The cavalry wore at
once In the saddle and started for the scene.
They found it was the day school house which
had been flrcdand _ not the mission buildings ,
which wcro fully a mile away. Thcro were
over eighteen hundred bucks in the vicinity
when the troops came up , but only a few
would show themselves at a time , the Inten
tion evidently being to draw the troops on.
Colonel Forsytho suspected the trap laid ,
and being outnumbered began to retreat.
Then the Indians started an attempt to sur
round his force of the Seventh cavalry , and
had almost completed tbo cordon when the
Ninth cavalry cnrao up from the agency nnd
caused the Indians to retire.
The combined ' forces of cavalry
wore , however , still greatly outnumbered

ush towards the crossing of Whllo river at

our mules , with eight days' rations , started ,
loving out nt n swinging trot in two hours
hey covered some twelve miles and nt8 p. in ,
hey halted to cook supper coffee for the
men nnd a small feed for the horses. The
imrch was resumed and at a trot and u walk ,
vtth an occaslunal halt , Whlto river was
reached.
At this crossing the river wns partially
'rozcn , so the horses had to slip from solid
co on the edpo to the water In the channel.
Fho moon was full on this beautiful Chrlst-
nas eve and many were the wlcrd scenes
msscd In t o onward rush here the poles
iround which the Indians had a few days bo-
'oro danced their ghost dunces ; hero tlio deserted -
sorted cabins ; bore and there cnttlo trails
which the Indian scouts would examine to
see If pomes orhostlles had traversed them.
It was cold but clear water frozen solid In
cantcons notwithstanding the constant shak
ing on the horses.
Crossing Whlto river wo entered the bad
lands , whoso curious formations In the inoon-
Jght were ghost-like. Wo. reached Cottonwood -
wood creek nt II n. m. , having trnvoleu llfty
miles on the Jump , with men , horses and pack
mules in good order and at daybreak the hos-
; llo Indians looked down upon us from their
jlbraltnr and gained some idea how cavalry
could travel when necessary.
But little wood and no water made our
hrlstmas morning breakfast short and wo
pushed on to Haruoy Springs , some five
miles , to coolc coffee. Lieutenant Haydcn of
the artillery saw his gun carriage run on ono
wheel , the other not having titno to touch the

Something About tjin Company En-
gUKfd In tlio III * ; Koot Fight.
Troop 1C of the Seventh cavalry is known
ns the "Jonah" or "Fatal" troop of the regi
ment. In all of tbo Indian lights In which the
Seventh has been engaged 1C troop has borne
the brunt of the engagements. In the first
great light of the Seventh cavalry against tbo
Indians , the battle of the Washlta. 1C troop's
loss was greater than of any other company.
Eight privates were shot down In that famous
charge. In the Custer massauro 1C troop was
almost annihilated , fully ana-half nf tbo com
pany dying with Custor. The year following
began the Nez Perce or St. Joseph war. This
In many respects was the most peculiar
Indian war in all the history of frontier
troubles. General O. O. Howard , with several
regiments ut his back , cuasoU Chief Joseph
lu a zig-zag course from Oregon to Dakota.
Unable to corner bis wily fee General How
ard so wired headquartors. General Miles
and the Seventh cavalry were then sent
against Chief Joseph.
The morning of September 80 , 1877 , Gen
eral Miles , with troops A nnd 1C of the
Seventh , was in advance of the mam column
under General Sturgls. As the llttlo troop
rode up a knoll In the prairie the advance
scouts reported the camp 'of Chief Joseph in
front. General Miles ordered a charge , the
cavalry being supported by the Fifth infan
try. As they rode into tbo flght Captain
Owen Halo , commander of troop 1C , turned
to bis companions and remarked : "Hoys ,
tbls Is too pretty a morning to dlo , nnd It
goes hard to bo killed so early lu the day , but
I am sure to go under. " Thirty minutes later
Cuptaln Ilnlo and Lieutenant Blddlo of the
same troop foil at tlio head of their men ,
Elghtcon or twenty privates of 1C troop wont
down In that charge.
The command of troop 1C then fell to Cap
tain E. G. iMathoy. Fortunately for him ,
perhaps , there have boon no Indian wars
from 1877 to the present in which the Seventh
was engaged. October 1 of this year Captain
Mathoy was assigned to duty nt 10 South
Clark street , Chicago , and Captain Gcoriro D ,
Wallace placed in command of the company ,
Ills death with seven of his men bears out tbo
fatality tbnt seems to cling to troop 1C. What
adds a peculiar sadness to tbo killluc of Cap
tain Wallace Is that -Mrs. Wallace , who has
been nn Invalid for many years , is now dan
gerously ill nt Fort Itlley , K"nn. , and her
friends In Chicago fear the shock of his death
will prove fatal to her ,

WASHINGTON , Deo. 80. { Special Telegram
toTmBci : : . ] Men in the vrnr dopnrtraent
nnd Indian oftlco as well as 'in congress ex
press surprise at the extent nf the slaughter
among the Indians in South , Dakota. Forty-
eight hours ago they were felicitating them ,
selves upon what they supposed was a happy
nnd bloodless termination of the threatened
outbreak. 1'rlvnto ns well ns oftlclnl dis
patches Indicate that the war has become
almost general and the impression hero Is
that the soldiers and settlers , tbo Indian
police nnd cowboys are shooting down uum
bers of the warring bands without provoca I-
tion. Very llttlo criticism Is heard of this
supposed notion of tlio white people. The
treacherous work of the followers of Two
Strike lu slaughtering the troops engaged In
the disarmament has licensed the latter ant
ovcryoody else to shoot Indians ad llbltom.
Thcro will be no complaint at this end of the
line if tbo Indians nro taught a severe lesson
at this time except from minority members
pf ( ho house , whj ( contend that the Indians
hnvo ground for dissatisfaction on account ol
harsh or dishonest treatment on the part o :
ccituin agents. The legislators who \vouk
make a partisan Issue of the Indian troubles
nro very few , for there Is not a wosiam man
who docs not endorse the work of the troops ,
As usual the belief Is largely entertained that
tno Indians nro getting the better of the
fighting. The efforts of the littln bund of

1 mended upon every hand ,

agencies In South Dakota and the assign
ment in their nlaccs of live well known nrmy

o have such officers nt those posts and in

authority and experience necessary to make
> rompt military moves. It is stated ( lint the
eeoinmcndntion received the endorsement of
General Sehollcld and Secretary Proctor and
vas sent to Secretary Noble for his endorse
ment tireparatory to being laid before the
president. The secretary of tbo In-
erlor , tbo report states , took some
ttmo to consider the matlor , then
ofused to endorse It and laid it before the
cabinet nt the last meeting with the Intlma-
ioi : that such n step should not como from
the war department , as It was interference
with the business of another deportment.
The president , It Is stated , came to the con-
iluslon that the Interior department was able
o handle the Indian question , for the present
nt least , nnd tbcro it dropped , Had It suc
ceeded It U likely it would have led to the

Thcro was much surprise caused yesterday
by the report that the Grccndalo packing
tiouso near Council Hlu ( Ts had fatted. As it
: ias been generally considered as solid , with
plenty of capital , nnd as it has long been es
tablished and apparently successfully man
aged , tne report could hardly bo believed. It
proved to be true , however , nn assignment
being put on record about , noon. Tbo firm
consists of Illchardlind Robert Green , who
have been doing business under the old niimo
of Thomas Green & Sons. The schedule of
assets foots up $ G'i,400 nnu the liabili
ties $75,150. E. E. Hart Is named ns assignee.
The cause loading to this failure Is said to
bo mainly a series of losses from n falling off
of the market. Thcro is now at the packing
house a largo amount of cured meats , and
this has been held at a loss , in the hope of
better prices. Thcro have been some very
heavy losses in preceding seasons , nnd tbo
firm was not In condition to wait longer for a
changn for the better.
The asseti being chlcfl ) In cured meats ,
readily convertible into cash , the creditors
feel confident of getting at least 83 cents on
the dollar , and that , too , without delay ,
Senate I'rooerdlims.
WASIIINOTOX , Dec. 31. After disposing of
a little routine business tbo senate resumed

ntivo'to nn amendment to the election bill
and discussed the point of order madongainst
It by Mr. Sherman , which was that the reso
lution was now on the calendar nnd could not
bo token up except by unanimous consent.
Tlio vice president sustained Mr. Sher
man's point nnd Mr. Morgan appealed and
proceeded to address the senate on his ap
peal.After
After considerable debate on the points of
order the matter went over without action.
Mr. Mnnderson offered a resolution , which
was nerccd to , directing the superintendent
of the census to report at the earliest possibls
moment the population of tbo United States
according to the census of IS'.H ) by congres
sional districts nnd counties.
The senate then resumed consideration of
the elections bill nnd wns addressed by Mr.
George in opposition to it.
At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Hnw-
Icy nliudcd to the shooting of Postmaster
Matthews In Senator George's township.
The shooting , ho said , was In cold blood nnd
becr-uso the postmaster was a republican.
Mr. George said politics had nothing to uo
with the shooting.

noon with the understanding then that fur
ther adjournment take place till Monday.
