A FORMIDABLE ENEMY.
From the Idaho Statesman.
Father Mesplie, who is well posted
on the Indian tribes, gives the follow.
| ing estimates of. their numbers He
puts the Sioux down at 100000; the
| Crows at $4,000 Blackfeet, 10000
Utes, or UtahS, $4,000 and in adj
ditiOn there are the Brule, Ogalalla,
MinneconjOu, YanctOnnaiS, Uncpapa,
Two Kettles, San Acres, and Sontoo
bands, Some of the Crows, and some
others who live around the reserva-
tiOns are friendly, but many who pre-
tend friendship will gather arms and
ammunition for the tribes, He says
they are in strong alliance with each
other to carry on this war, although
when they have no common enemy to
fight they fight each other; but now
they are united against what they con.
slider a common enemy, and will turn
out all their warriors, and they will
number at least $4,000, and the Father
says it is likely to be the most formid-
able and bloody Indian war in the his
tory of Our government. They are
well armed, and will fight to the death
whenever they are cornered.
