I Iznow can assure you that Little Crow Is
in this section of the country, for have seen

He [Little Crow) passed within two hun.
dred feet f:om my house. We have fed a
few Sioux, given them milk, water, etc.
They all bear that awful atrocous appear
ance. I would much rather have seen Gen.
eral Sibley come with a few hundred sold.
iers to give us protection, than the Chief Of
murderers with his band. to whose mercy
we have been abandoned. Old Red Bear
has borrowed my American flag, and was
not ashamed to keep it flying ever his camp
during the stay Of the Sioux hero. The
Sioux had British co]ors. Old Red Bear
deserves credit and look upon his daring
as the greatest compliment Of respect that
could be paid to US Americans. He showed
that he is not only our friend, but is not
afraid to appear as on American Indian
Chief in the presence of Little Crow, who
abhers everything that is American. Since
the Grand Forks affair, old Red Bear has
very decently behaved himself
| The Sioux and Chippewas had the day
before yesterday, at St. Vincent, right oppo-
site Pembina, great dance wherein they
they sang all the atrocities committed last
summer by the red devils.
May. 29.-1n my letter Of yesterday I
was telling you that Little Crow, with his
band of murderers, had left for st. Joseph,
but it was mistake. Mr.. Montreuil, who
is here at this very time, tells me that his
son Alexis, who speaks. good Sioux, and
has Sioux woman for wife, has gone with
Little Crow and sixty four or five of his
'nurderers, to Fort Garry. T.:
have already told you, think in my
former letter, that the Chippewas Of this
place, st. Joseph, Red Lake, Lake Of the
Woods. &c., had SIN oked with Little Crow
and his band Of 1nurderers, made peace,
danced together, etc, etc. Well, sir, just
as l expected, that peace was to last only a
few days. 1t was no later than day before
yesterday that they were all together, and
yesterday, after IL O'Clock NJ. young Chip.
pewa from Red Lake killed q Sioux, lust
below Pembina Fork, and another Chippewa
took his scalp. after shutdown last night
and skedaddl cd for Rcd Lake. Mr.. Mont
reu:l has seen the scalp. That Sioux resi-.
ded all last winter ats st. Joseph, and was
married to Chippewa squaw. He there.
fore never would have suspected such
treachery on The part OF the Chipsewas, but
[ did all the while, from what they told ,ne
at Red Lake last winter. The young Amur.
derer Is in the hands Of old Red Bear and
his band, who disa pproved the deed, and
think they will deliver him up to ;be Sioux
lOtd Red Bear has refused to accept q part o1
the Sioux scalp, as be calls it's scalp Of one
