The correspondent OF the New lulk Ia. raid
from Terry's camp says that just before they
started on the 9Th of August, that within the last
year the Indians had been supplied with tons OF
ammunition. The steamboat captains assert that
from the Cheyenne agency arms and ammunition
are constantly going up the Missouri river for
Indians.
A train Of thirteen pack mules carrying $4,000
| rounds of ammunition for Sitting Bulls party,
each mule carried two boxes of fixed ammunition
and each sack of flour. These supplies were
intended for hostile Indians, and although the
massacre and his troops was already known, the
supply train was permitted to 90 on.
A well informed army officer estimates that
from the Standing Rock agency alone, nearly
100, 900 rounds of ammunition has been sold to
Indians, ana at the Burie agency it was estimated
30 900 rounds were sold. These agencies are
maintained by the government
On the 9Th, Gen. Gibbon wrote to Powers, the
well known trader at Fort Benton that $4,000
rounds OF ammunition aud several cases OF
breach loading small arms had been shipped to
him, and informing him if any Of these arms
were found on hostile Indians, he would be held
responsible by an outraged community, and Glib
bon warned Powers as a citizen of Montana and
of the United States to to it that none of that
war material went into the hands of the lndi-
ans
Gen. Gibbon also wrote letter to Governor
Potts of Montana, stating the above facts, and
urging him to take legal steps to prevent Powers

Sitting Bull though naturally hostile, has been

The Truthful Standard.

i
Some three weeks ago the Maine Standard had
an article making the assertion that the State
printing in 1856, the last year Of dem rule
in this State cost SO 900 and no more.
In few days after, there appeared an article in
the Portland Press, stating that the State print
ing in the above mentioned year, cost the State
the sum of S2O800, which any could ascer
tain by consulting the books in the State Treasur-
er's office. have not seen this statement OF the
Press contradicted by the Standard any other
paper. Now what want to know is, which is
right? If the Press is right, how does it happen
that the ed tor Of the Standard should make such
brazen falsehood and offer no explanation for it
in the columns of his paper? Is he not at the pres
ent time going over the State, with sanctimonious
countenance, charging the people to be honest, to
seek for the truth, in short to reform from the
ror of their ways forsake that which is wrong and
cling to the right? If the statement which the ed
itor of the Standard uade about the State print
ing was false, he knew when he made it that it
was such. Can the people, those that are honest
and like to see fair play, have any confidence in
what they read in paper that makes false state
ment, and when it is shown to be such, makes no
effort to correct it Perhaps its editor has been
taking lessons from the notorious Dr. Jordan, who
thinks that no person should be held responsible
for what may be said in heated political campaign.
We have no OBJ lection to the editor of the Stand
ard saying just what he peases, but we do object
TO any man trying to palm himself on the public
as reformer, unless his conduct and actions are
such to give the public assurance of his honesty
