ed police, received here to-day at the
military headquarters, is the first official

proposed alliance between the Sioux and
Blackfeet for warfare on the American
whites and on the Grow Indians. Denny

among the sayages, which he appears to
have done successfully, He visited the
Blackfeet nation, was cordially received,
and learned from them that the Sioux had
made advances to them for the purpose
Of getting them to Join in fighting the
Crows and other Inians, and also the
Americans.
The Sioux promised portion Of the
spoils and also a number, OF white women
whom they had captured. They prom
ised after the American whites were ex-
terminated to 60 across and massacre the
Canadian whites. The Blackieet hav-
ing refused TO agree tothese propositions,
the Sioux threatened to come across and
punish them. Denny promised 10 aid
the Blackfeet in case they were attacked
under these circumstances, which pleased
them SO well that they made protuse
demonstrations and assertions Of eternal
friendship for the whites, and threw
themselves on the kindness and ptotec-
ton Of the Canadians, saying they real.
lied that in time they would be deprived
OF forage and provisions by the encroach.
ment Of the whites. The letter is dated
July 18th, and is directed to Lieutenant
Colonel A. G. Irwin, Of the Northwestern
