T., July 31, 1874. Thave just returned irom atweive days’ scout | in the country north of tus post after a band of Maraading indians that visited tais vicinity about a fortuizht ago. We lave had arather bard time Of it, and, after following the trail about 150 miies north of the railroad, had to give up the chase, as provisions were at a low ebb, and some of the men had not tasted 100d for twenty-four hours, On Sat- urday, July 18, | arrived at Cheyenne, and ‘talking with General Reynoids, who is in command at Fort D, R. Russell, learned that a troop of cavairy Were 10 leave his post that evening, en rowe for Fort Steele, where some Indian bunting was to | be done. Toe despaccn said that a party of In- | dians had corralied some miners in the Seminole | Mountains—a range about thirty-five miles north of the railroad—and that some stock grazing | within a mile of Fort Steele had been driven off | by the daring reaskins, Thinking that the excur- sion might prove interesting, alter receiving per- | | mission to join the command, I drove | | } ; out to Fort D. R, Russell, and was in- | troduced to Captain Wessells, the officer wio was | to have command of the party. He was theu busy getting his troop in readiness for the field, and | told me to meet him at the depot at about eight | P.M, as their train would hack up there to take , onacavoose. Returning to C.esenne I met Mr, | Valentine Bromiey, an English artisc, woo was | making a sketcuing tour through the country, on his way to Fort Laramie, When the train arrived | | Mr, Bromley, thinking there would be @ gocd op- | portunity for seeing the Indian aw naturel, ob- | tained permission from Captain Wessells to ac- | company the command, and ina tew minutes we Were all scated io the Caboose, rattling over the | rails In tne direction of Fort Steele, The railroad | officials did not appear to display any extra despatch in forwardiug the troops tuat were being sent to protect the settlers on their line, as It took FIFIKEN HOURS TO TRAVEL TWO HUNDRED MILES, | and the men and horses were not of the cars at Fort Steele uutil nearly one P.M. As caterer of the mess I wus occupied at Fort Steele laying in | the pecessary stor 8 Which Were ¢o be CousUmed by | | Captain Wesdells, Bony Ernest, the guide, our art st | and the special. Shortiy before four P. M. the three wagons, laden with ten days’ rations jor the men and grain Jor the horses, euch drawn by a #1x-mule team, followed the command siowly out of camp, | ‘The party consisted of the Captain, guide, artist, | special, forty-eight men and three teamsters, Our | road led for about fiiteen miles over a fiat prairie, | about 100 yards to the southward of the railroad, | and finally crossed the line and headed to the | north, within 300 yards of Rawiins, a small town- | ship of 250 population, that has been settled since | the road was built, Leaving the command in charge of the first sergeant, the Captain, guide, | artist and special galloped ahead into the towns ship and paid a visit to the principal saloon in | order to obtain some iniormation about | THE MOVEMENTS OF THE INDIANS. | We founa quite a lively party for a Sunday even- ing gathering, who, filled wita the best liquid lightning, were breathing a wordy war on Mr. Lo. Tney were all talking at once, and each giv- ing a graphic description of what he personaily had done during a gallop they had taken after the Indians. Every speaker appeared to have killed man, and Would announce the fact with ® ferocious whoop, calculated to make a peaceful man from the East tremble in his boots, and regard the speaker with a look of awe and admiration, Tue Captain, however, had | seen tnis kind of thing before, and getting two or , three oj the best men on one side, learned that the j trail led away to the north, and they were of the | impression that the Indians would be tound in the country between the Seminole Mountains and the | North Piatte. ‘hey variously estimated the | Strength o/ the party from 100 to 300 strong. One young man, who was whouping about every five minutes, stated that he had killed one Indian snd knew exactly where to find the band. The wave party were evidently delignted at the arrival of the cavalry, and asked the Captain if he would have any objection to &@ party of about forty citi- | Zens joining bis command. The Captain had not | the slightest objection, and as we got on our horses to return to the train they said they would be with usin the morning. We caugut up with the troops | within half a mile and went into camp at half-past | nine P, M, at Sulphur Springs, about two miles and a@balfnortheast of Rawlins, As it was so late | there were no fires lighted or tents pitched, and we lay down in the sage brnsa rolled up mm our blankets, with the moon-lit sky for @ suelter, At duyligut all hands were up and moving, and whiie the couks prepared breaxiast, Dianxets Were rolled up and packed away io the wagons, At breakiast we were joined by the Rawlins contingent, which, bow. ever, had reduceiio ten hours from lorty to one solitary mdividual. He was | A STRANGE LOOKING PERSON, tallin stature, attired in buckskin puntaloons, gray shirt, soldiers’ overcoat aud browu wideawake and Was seated astride of anoid white oroncuo mare O1 hear!y as eccentric an appearance as her owner. He was armed with @ carbine, lying across the front of nis saddle, two mysterious botties peering out of each sadale bag, anotner protradiug Irom his overcoat pocket and’ a fourth Irom the bosom oi his gray flannel shirt. He dig- mounted, afd, leaving tue old mare to bruwse around, produced the bottie from out of his shirt bosum and asked us to take @ drink, ASit was about three-quarters empty we declined wnd re- turued the civility by an ‘Bvitation to Lreakfast, wiich was promptly accepted, with the remark that “he never missed @ Cuance at adri:k or @ meal.’ Mr. Scott, such Was te name of the con- | tingent, said he Started irom Rawlins the evening | bevore, but as the night Was so dark, struck camp about @ mile irom town and finished is journey in the morning. A gentie | man afterwards (old @ dierent story,” saying he started from town so drunk that be tell off and lay on the prairie unt) daylight, wnen he . | awoke, caught the old mare and joined the truops. The command moved Off shortly aiier six A. M. | and, travelling in @ northwest direction, passed tue ranch of ao old Kentuckian, who was working @ vermilion paint mine, and then folluwed along & | Tidge heading more to the northward. After travel- | | ling about eight miles Scott saw indians on a ridge some three miles away, and the Captain started | after them with tue guide and seventeen men. He | joined the wagons about an bour aiterwards, find- | | Ing that Scott's Indians turned out to ve @ band Of | | about twenty elk. Descending irom the ran, , we crossed a dreary, desolate, alkali plain, some dite n miles in extent, and made a short hait of twenty | | minutes at Smith’s Spring. We tuen started | across Sheep’s Riage, @ barren looking range of | mountains covered with loose rocks aud bouiders. | The road was very bad, 4nd one of the wagons | containing baggage, mess kit, &c., capsized, and | We were delayed over au tour repairing damage and reloading. Alter descending the ower side of | the range we crossed & Couple ol nice litwe Creeks | with good water, and fially camped in i | RED CLOUD GULCH, | where we found grass and water. Just before we | arrived in camp we passed thiough @ small gul where Mr. Hunt, asettier at the Seminole aunes, had bailt a comfortaole wickyap and sown some grain and potatoes, These bad been entirely de- stroyed by the Indians, We camped about six P. | M., and, as we bad travelled thirty-one miles, were seon stretched out in our blankets.

A Strange Story of Precocious Iniquity. An Attempt to Burn Her Next Door Neighber’s Child. So many startling phases of crime crop out from Cme to time that it seems almost impossible to keep pace with them in any attempt at analysis. One of the most recent of the nge cases was that of Henrietta Weibel, the baby burner. The idea of a lictle girl, thirteen years of age, cherish- ing a passion for the burning up of babies is some- thing awiul to dwell upon, But insanity steals into the brain of little girls as well as into the brain of grown people, and there can scarcely be & doubt but that Henrietta Weibel Is insane. A HeRaLp reporter cailed yesterday at the store of Louis Stern, No. 204 First avenue, to ascertain some facts about the girl. Henrietta had veen for the month previous tothe 2d of July a domestia in Louis Stern’s family, and while she was there most signally distinguished hersel!, On two different occasions she made free with the money drawer, spendiag the ditv cents she appropriated in procuring a supply of candy, which she lavishly distributed wmong her female acqnaintances. On another occasion she actually contrived to secure to herself, out of Mrs. Stern’s pocket, while that lady Was atienaing to housebold affairs, two ten cent stamps. Later in the day, while with a frien im the little park opposite Dr. Tyng’s church, she | pulled from her pocket a stick of candy witha twenty-five cent stamp attached, and throwing it on the ground, exclaimed, “Aint I lucky? Here's not only lots of candy, but a quarter dollar.’* ‘Yhese little raids upon the money drawer caused Mrs, Stern to send for HENRIETTA’S MOTHER, who, on arriving, sadly upbraided her erring daughter, telling her that she had promised to stop doing those bad things. Henrietta got maa with Mrs, Stern for sending for her mother and was resolved to have revenge, Onthe 2d of July, | while Mrs. Stern was bathing her baby, sie was | startled by hearing the breaking of a pane of | glass in one of the windows in the rear room. Henrietta looked as innocent asa child and won- | dered what the young ruflans outside were trying | to do, Mrs, Sterm again applied herseif to the baby, bus Suddenly again another pane went inte | Iritters with a loud crash, and immediately after | three different panes were knocked into pleces, | Mrs, Stern now went to the rear of the house and | closed the shutters, and Mr. Stern journeyea up to an adjoining roof to see where were concealed the rascally boys that were breaking bis | wincow. The shutrers being closed, Mra, Stera | occupied herself ouce more with the baby, but was | very soon shocked with a series o1 bangs aguinat the window panes, which terribly alarmed ler. | She then went into the street, and, belug joined | by a detective and two oiflicers, the rooms were - | examined, alter which the officers went out to | the yard to reconnuitre.

No oue was now in the back room bué | Heurietta, and it was not long before a jar | of sweetmeats thas was on the mantel- | piece went spinuing on the floor and } the glass of a picture hanging on the wall was | cracked though not entirely broken. The police gave it up as a bad job, and questioved Henrietta ‘as to her knowledge of the extraordinary occur- rence; but the girl stoutly denied ail knowledge of | how the thing Was dope, saying that she suspected it must have been ‘tiem oad hoys or a ghost.’? | She was dismissed from Mr. Stern’s house tha¢ evening, however, and she admitted to a friend of hers im Seventeenth street that she’ had had a jolly lark at Stern’s; she said she had a lot of bits of brick concealed up ber | sleeves, with which she scared the wits out of the | Whole o: them. Mrs. Stern says that on one oc- casion Henrietta told her that a quiit had | been stolen trom a clothes line in the yurd,; | bat that next day a neighbor found it im the ceilar of the house. Tne quilt was not yet | quite dry and Mrs, Stern put it out on the line again. Avouthali au hour after Henrietta again. told Mrs. Stern that the quils had a second time mysteriously disappeared ond that it was th strangest thing sane had ever Known. Mr. Stent | descended to the cellar, and after a short expiora- tion by the aid of a Jew matches discovered the quilt in a corner and took it away with him. Hen- rietta looked as unconcerned as if she had never put it there. The Sterns bave, beside the baby, A LITTLE BOY ABOUT THBEE YEABS OLD, who was always in the habit of sleeping with the gir) im charge of the children. The little tellow aiter the first night he slept with Henrietta most positively objected to sleeping in the same Bea with her again and began to com- pata constantly of a pi in his foot Toe parents treated tms lightly, and made him sleep with the girl for some time after- wards, but his fatner had trequently to carry him away in the middie of the night, the child always crying with the pain in his ioot.
