CANT or THE Dla lloKN AND YELLOWSTONE
EXHIBITIONS, GOOSE GREER, Juno c6.-The
mali which arrived yesterday morning from
Fettcrman by spccal courier, who starts OH
hts return journey tonight, brings us olr first
newspapers from tho East; and many Of us nrc |
eo1newhat surprised ut tho ovcr-anxlcty seeming
to possess tho good people East MS to our safety
md tho saioty Of tho commands under Gen. |
Terry aud Col. Glbbon,-scenlfng to imply that,
II wi are caught out alone, tho warlikc Sioux
will "gobblc" tis up at nouthful. Old Sit |
ting Bull evidently viewed matters md things
from tho sn.nc standpoint on tho morning Of tic
18th Of June; but VIC lave our doubts II he
thought tue same when tho sun wont down on
tl,ut cyclltful day.
A story las tccn circulating through camp,
since tho day Of tho light at Rosebud Hills, to
tho effect that
SITTING null HAD DEEM KILLED,
which, being traced to Its source, IL found to
bg lnlsgd OIL statement Mnilo by some Of our
scouts. Dcyoutly hoping that it may bc true,
;i1o you tho story as 1t ia told: On starting
away from our wagons, Frank Gruartl, whose
life for many ycars Was spent With Sitting Bulls
band, gave q complete description Of the aIs-
pcll.ns,co and style Of war-furnlturc worn
by this savage chcftain to thu seouts,--
describing his ponys trapplngs, md everything,
that serves to mark rauk among tho Sioux, worn
BY him. So far, 80 good; this part Of tlo story
you may rely on. Now for tho other part:
When tho attack began 0n our right, these
scouts went out with the Crows to n'cct 1t, aud
unong tito first Indians seen, leading OH anl in
In
all important "details tho description given BY
Frank Of Sitting Bull. They llreda yollcy, md
tho warrior rolled from Ills pony TO tue ground,
willie those In tho rcar rushed forward, and
scizng him, carried tho body buck. II this bc
true, tho Chief Of tho hostile Sioux Is as dead
| a No. nlnckcrcl after 1t hus been Raltcu; for,
when stricken Sioux falls from his pony, he is
| 4 very dead Indian indeed.
| Tho scouts say that tho fall Of this Indian
crrated nlore colnmotton Among tho others than
could possibly have bceu created by tho death
| Of att ordinary chief.
Among tho teats Of
