reliable advices from Standing Rock
Agency report at least three thousand
Indians; that they are hunting, and
large amounts OF peits are being
brought in, but the agent and Indians
try to disguise the fact that their young
men are generally absent. No traces
of them are reported by Black Hills

gone to meet Terry. Persons we'll i'm

dams will attack any settlement east
of the Missouri river, but in case of a
general Indian wal the settlements in
Wyoming and Nebraska, will suffer.

days. A very large party will leave
July 4th. Nearly all the Bismarck
business men have established branch
