Chicago, Jan. 15. When a re

knocked out himself.
"So the bloke from th South

did he?" he moaned. "Well that

it? You may as well ask a man
toacjount for the Bsits on the

the White Clay creek foradis ance
of two miles on foot, hors -hack
and in wagons, with a large num
ber of ponies. Tho advance g:nrd
of the hoatiles had scarcely
reached the age- cy w'.en Big
Road sent word that he had col
lected the arms :f his followers
and wanted to surrender them to
the agent. When the weapons
came on they were found to con
sist of a few simple two barreled
shotguns, a llenr" rifle and
broken carhine, two Sharp's rifles
and one Winchester nine guns
in all. This surrender makes it
evident that the Didiaus do not
propose to give up all their guns
and th At the have hidden tlie
tiest weapons in the hills. The
entire hostile baud would be ex
pected to give up in the neighbor
hood oi 100 guns, when it is known
every hostile buck is the owner of
a weapon.
Since the surrender by Rig

has been heard or received from

military pickets are watching the
hostile camp as vigilantly as ever.
