Cheyennes "Black Moccasin," is chief of about
10 lodges. Blackteet, chief 'Scabby Head,
Uncpapas, chief Sitting Bull Sansarcs, chief
! Spotted Eagle Minneconjous, chief Black
Shield, Ogalallas, chief Crazy Horse In all
these there are little over 1000 lodges. After the
troops got into the country could not get away.
The Indians made the soldiers watch the camp
and keep the people together. l talked with Sit
ting Bulr before leaving and then moved my
lodge out in the night, coming very far around to
keep out of the way of both Indians and troops
and came home by the road known as the old Fort
Pierre road on the cast side Of the Black Hills,
striking the road about half way between the
Missouri and the Black Hills and then came
straight to the agency.
Sitting Bull sends now to my agent, to Bsmette
and to Fauchet, that he does not intend to modest
any one south of the Black Hills but will fight the
whites in that country as long the question is
unsettled, and If not settled, as long as he lives.
As soon as the Black Hills question is settled he
wants my agent to send him word and tell him
what to GO. lie says that ne finds great many
guns aad other things about the Hills, where the
white men killed each other ana left them on the
prarlcs.
Sitting Bal! askcd how the brutes were treated
at their agency | told him well; but he does not
believe it. lie does not want to fight the whites,
only steal from them as they have done. White
men steal and Indians will not come to the settle
ment. The white men Kill themselves and make
the Black Hills stink with dead men. lie says he
heard that the Indians coming from the agency
would not be allowed to return. He has made a
law that no visitors shall pass between the agency
and his camp. either Indians or white men. When
the rascalty about the Black Hills is settled, then
he will stop his scality.
The government has promised much to the
agency geople that never fulfilled, and it
wants to move the agencies again. If moved who
viii occupy the land 1t belongs to you. If you
remain where you are | want you to send me
word. If the good white people won't listen to
the great father no more your Young men will lis
ten to their chief. Sitting Bull says that if the
troops come out to him he must fight them, but if
they do not come out he intends to visit the agency
and he will counsel his people for peace. Bear

THE LATEST OUTRAGE.
Midnight Assault of the Rumsellers u pon
the House Of Citiz en- "A Plan 10 Ii a ri
the Dwelling.

| The runsellers of this city, in tn, malness of
| their desperation, have perpctratei another out
rage upon one of our citizens. Mr. N. =. Jaqucs,
who has been conspcuousy prominent in the
present reform temperance movement, AMI who is
10 favor of pushing the traffic to the WALL re-
sides in the eastern tenement Of Mrs. Hold ydon's
house on Grove street, opposite Mr.. \. W. Phil
brooks. Thursday night, half hour before
midnight, long after the family had retired, Mr..
Jaqaes and his wife were awakened by loud
crash in the lower part OF the house. Mr.. Jaqucs
arose, lighted lamp and proceeded cautiously
down stairs, suppo5ng fron the noise that sonc
one had entered the house. Opening the pa,lor
door, he found tbat two pancs Of glass had been
smashed from the east win low, there was hole
il III west YAH AID the atm)sphess Of tae room
was charged VITA kerosene oil. Tae cast window
was close |, bit the blind had been left open.
Some person had entered the alley way between
that and Mr. Pinkhams house, an thrown quart
bottle oSkerosene into the room. The bottle was
Of glass, oval shaped, and must have been thrown
with great force, it ha buried Itself into the OF?
posite partition, smashing off the plasterag to The
lalhs The room had just been painted a1d pa
pcred. The work OF the dastarily coward has
about ruined the room, spelling plp;r5, carpets,
pictures, chairs &c. It is judged that kerosene
was used lo9 the purpose Of setting the house
fire. This was evidently the intention Of the viii
lain pc petrating the deed. Mr.. roger, the ac-
tive PtcsiIcat OF the Reform Ciab, lives in the
other tenement of the same house, and as he has
fearlcssly si-ncd warrants against rumsellers,
they evidently intended to administer double
dose GA the present occasion. A pair of slippers
found in the alley way, near the window, and
identified as belonging to notorious rumseller,
may a clue to bring the perpetrators of
this outrage t. justice.
Our citizen. again called to notice out
break Of the spirit that animates the rum5elers.
They not only assault peaceably disposed citizens
on the sidewalk, in broad day light; but under
cover Of darkness, at midnight, plan to bum
dwelling houses in which innocent women and
children are sleeping, unconscious of danger.
This is the legitimate fruits OF the trait which
every good citizen should seek to suppress.
