forbids their hunting in that State, except

There were different views as to the

Pennington, Governor Of Dakota, was very

He said there was 10 gold there, and that
few persons wished to 90 there, except such
as would cut a throat or scuttle q ship. He
said that a few Of the good people Of his
Territory had been misled, and had violated
the treaty by going into that country; but
be was confident in this respect that the
people Of Dakota had been more modest
than their neighb0rs. Gov. Thayer, Of
Wyoming. here asked if the conference was
a burlesque, and left in a huff. The pros
