OmauA, Nuv., Jan. 3.—The Bee has the fol- lowing from its staff correspondent: Pine Ridge, vin Rushville.—After the arrival of the scout who brought the report that the hostiles had just brought fourteen cavalry horses with bridles, saddles, &c., into their camp, another scout brought a second report to the effect that a skirmish had occurred. Scout No. 2 said that he learned that Cheyenne hos- tiles made a rush upon a squad of Carr's Sioux scouts on Graga creek Thursday night and had killed several of them. Grass creck is a small and nearly dry stream beginning eight or ten miles north of heré and uns about ten miles north and empties into White river, about eightecn or twenty miles north of Wounded Knee post office, the site of last Monday's battle and in the near vicinity of which Carr ia reported as now encamped. ‘When the scoout ssked whether any soldiers were engaged in the skirmish he was told there were, but that they took very little part in it. A number of minor reports, such as are brought in by government employes sta- tioned in various parts the reser- ion, have come in the ef- the — count seems to be nada of hostile scouts. As yet the authorities have been unable to get at ‘the re- Port regarding the cavalry horses in the hostile camp, though this report regarding an attack by Cheyenne hostiles seems to indicate that soldiers‘were killed in the skirmish on Grass creek on Thursday. GEN. MILES’ IKNOVATION. Instead of concentrating the troops in a hud- dled condition in the center of the camp, as Gen. Brooke had them, Gen. Miles bas thrown them out into permanent picket lines upon top of thé ridge that encircles the agency valle and is having rifle pits and board shelter built for them, the one for in enee of attack and the to shelter them while off duty.
