talked with Sitting Bull before leaving,
and rhcn moved my lodge out in the night,
conyin. very far around to keep out OF the
wsy Of both Indians and troops, and came
nome hy the road known as the old Fort
Pierre road. on the east side OF the Black
Uiu.. striking the road about half way be-
tween the Missouri and the Black Hills, and
then came straight to this agency.
SITTING PuLI's MESSAGE.
sitting Bull sends word to my agent, to
Bl,oncttc and to Bochct, that he does not III
tend to modest any one south or the Black
Hills: will fight the whites in that country
as )ong rs the question is unsettled, and II
not settled, as long as he lives. As soon as
the Black Hills question is settled he wants
nv agent to send him word, and tell INN
what ia do. He SAWS he finds great many
guns and other things about the hills, where
white men have killed each other and left on
the prairie.
ONLY WANTS TO STEAL LIKE WHITE MEN.
Sitting Bull asked how the Brules 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 In
dians won't come to the settlements. Whites
Kill themselves, make Black Hills stink, so
many dead men; says he heard Indians
coming from the agency would not be al-
lowed 10 return.
SITTING BULLS LAW.
He has made q law that no visitors shall
pass between the agency and his camp,
either indians or whites. When the rascal
lty about the Black Hills is settled, then ne
will stop his rascality.
HIS LOGIC.
The Government has promised much tC
the agency people that never was fulfilled,
and II wants to move the agencies again
Ii moved, who will occupy the land? Ii
belongs TO you il you remain where you
are want you to send me word. Ii good
white people won't listen to Great Father
10 more YOUR young nen will listen to their
chiefs Sitting Bull says that il troops come
out 10 him he must fight them, but If they
do not come ont he intends to visit this
agency. and he will consult his people for
peace.
Bcar-Stand-U Up, who makes this statement,
/, said to be reliable; was in Sitting Bulls
camp nineteen days, from about May 20 to
June -.

the Little Horn fight, in which it says Sit.

Sitting Bulls chief advisers and four com.
panies OF the Twcnty-second infantry, con-
sisting OF II officers and 140 men, arrived
1T Fort Lincoln, and will leave for Terry's
command Sunday. The wounded are re.

spect, honor, and appreciate the high SOL
Hlerly qualities and exalted manhood OF
