Couriers from the Bad Lands, who arrived here this morning, announced that a bloody and desperate conflict occurred on Porcupine creek between United States troops and the hostiies. The fight was precipitated, by troops under Colonel Forsythe, attempting to disarm Big Foof s band. Captain Wallace, commanding a troop of the Seventh cavalry, was killed and Lieutenant Garlington, of the same regiment, was shot in both arms. Several soldiers and Indians were also wounded. The greatest ex citement prevails among the agency employes, and also among the friend lies, many of whom are relatives of the young bucks now on the warpath. Grave fears are entertained here for the safety of this post. The courier who brought this news of the conflict could only give facts relating to the commencement of the fight Later. A second fight occurred near this agency this afternoon. One of Colonel Forsytho's troops of the 7th Cavalry was fired on by some In dians, who went out from Bosebud camp near Pine Ridge. This caused a skirmish in which two soldiers were wounded. The Indians who were camped near where this skirmish took place, moved west to a creek near the agency. Owing to the absence oE the cavalry there is great trepidation here. Indian scouts who have just come in say that but few of Big Foot's band aro left alive. Fart Bldwcll Safe. pecial to Ths Astobiak.
