number increased every moment, so
that in . few moments, more than nalf
the force was s4s,
HEAVILY covERED BY wlHcHBsTER, sHARP's

at not more than ten to fifteen PAGES.
Mills company was on the right, and
completely double-covered: They were
becoming all together too thick for
Egan, when he complained, and an in
/ iterpretsr was sent ont to order them
back. They only doubled up on Mills.
Things were becoming "scary" at this
time. The cavalry boys "stood to
horse" with carabincs in hand, while
the Commission held its seats as though
nothing was occurring, yet showingla
proper degree Of uneasy interest in
the matter.
Meanwhile the young chief, Young
Man-Afraid,of. His Horses, had observ-
ed the movements Of the discontented
reprobatcs, and, calling his Lieutenant,
he gave the order that his band should
at once move on the Indians in the
rear, and, as he is very popular with
thespeople, his men were at had, and,
in minute, were dashing their horses
in among the hostiles and =

into the field to the extreme right, and
then formed on the flank, and held the
ground until the council closed. Mean
while the Young Man was smoking his
pipe as contentedly as though in his
own tepee. after the Council closed,
acted as rear-guard, with his men, to
the Commission to. the Agency. Pre-
vious to the move of Young, Man, near
ly all the half-breeds near the tent, and
some of the interpreters, had received
warning from friends and relatives to
clear away from the tent, as there was
great danger. They did so and left the
whites unwarned. After the matter
was over, those of Young-Man's men
who turned out to ...save the right"
were most bitterly abused by those who

ALI the cavalry men were to be shct
down at the first fire, the horses stamss
peded, and then the commission were
to get particular Jerusalem from that
vacant space in front, which was held
~ Little Big Man and his crowd. To.
the promptness Of Young-Man and his
men can be attributed the prevention of
the massacre that would have been as
complete as it would have been treacher-
Gus. In addition to the warning, proof
is found In the fact that an unusully
large number Of shells for Breach load
ers were sold yesterday by the traders;
that the bands who had camped near
the road leading to the Council ground,
moved Q miles away in the morning;
and, also that further band of 800
warriors, armed cap.a-pie, were discov-
cred in canon near by, who were sup
posed to be there to make On attack on
the Agency, and to prevent the troops
from Camp Robson from going out to
the Council camp, 8 miles below, after
the fight should have commenced. A.
thousand facts known here all point to
confederation of plan for massa-
Gre of the whole outfit BY the young
men under the lead Of the wild devils Of
the North. The threat was made by them
that they would kill the FIRST man who
spoke for the treaty; and no man was
brave enough, save White Bull, of the
Sans Arcs, and he only incidently, to
say . word in favor Of the sale Of the
country. The only commissioners
proper to treat with such q gang are
Gatling guns, with Crook to manage
them. ...t..
At 4 late hour last night the Uncpa-
pas moved their camp away from the
neighborhood Of Spotted Tails, and
chose one easily defended. These In
dians have favored business action all
the time, hence have been made
1 THE MARK OF JEALOUSY AND HATRED
BY the young discontents. Their Agent,
Major Burke, Of the Standing Rock
Agency, leaves to-day for home, and the
tribe starts in the morning.
In 4 condition of things that calls for
the aid Of Indian soldiery to avert 3
it is hardly probable that
tresty-making will be very much Of :
success. The Commission will hold an
other council tomorrow when Young
Man, American Herse and Sitting Bull,
who is now in charge Of camp, will see
that the hostiles are effectually squelch-
