On Saturday, MI Galliueau, Rtenchman,
Attiye,l here from Searseanvs BlulIs. and states
thai -Four Bears, the chief Of the Kttlle Hand Of
Sioux, had just come in, bringing with him Thirty
lodges. That they had lefI tho main body Of the
Sioux nj Bear Geek, coming, 300 miles west Of
Fort f.ltunie, 81 days SllCe, aud that at that
time. The Sioux hal 100 wagons. plenty Of foul
aud meal, twenty women aud ch'dr' n, and an1OnE
them, Two neytO women. From This we think
they must have taken Mormon Train, bound from
Salt Lake 10 Beur Geek, where they intended
making settlement this Spfing, and we have no
doubt thai they wete oil Killed. Folt Hears Is IN

lion determined OIL war, has come IN with his
small band.
Gsiiineau has tor wife. daughter If Pour
DeuIS, and says he does mol think his fathet.in'
law would deceive him. Besides. Nj. Vayietteat

OF course, we shall lrel no evil effects Of this

peCuniary view, II will scatter great deal UltlIe
money though Western Iowa. II = country hcte
