returned to the Spotted Tail Agency.
He says the actual number of whites
killed since January by Indians is six.
He reports that the troops at both agen-
cies are unmolested, and that at the
Spotted Tail Agency especially, friendly
relations with Indians exist. The Com
missioners held several counsels at both
agencies with hopeful results. About

old ration eaters, and that as soon as the
grass grows the Indians will resume
hostilities.
