lieve it. He does not want TO fight the
whites-only steal from them, as they have
done; white men steal, and Indians won't
come to settlement whites kill themselves
make Black Hills stink: so many dead
men.
He says he heard the Indians coming
from the Agency, would not be allowed 10
return. He has made Law that no visitors
shall pass between the agency and his camp
-eilher Indians or whites. When the ras-
cslity about the Black Hills is settled, then
he will stop his rascality. The Government
has promised much to the agency people
move the agencies again. If moved, who
will occupy the land 1t belong. to you if
YOU remain. If good white people won't

where, by hitching their horses to trees and
abandoning them the men were enabled to
escape on foot, by way of q ravine in the
rear. They all got back alive and proba-
bly, saved III. camp from grand attempt at
stampede or capture.
The Snake Indians, 200 strong, joined US
here, yesterday, but unlees the Utes also
come soon, no offensive operations will be
likely to take place, until the arrival of the
Fifth Cavalry from Cheyenne, crossing. he
wagon train, and additional Infantry are
due from Ft Fetterman to-day. The health
of the command is good. Gen. Gibbon's
reserve force were met by the victorious
Sioux dressed in Clusters new clothes, and
mounted on their horses firing into the col
diers.
The Indian VILLAGE pos.es.ed evidence of
white mems presence, kegs of whisky. etc,
being found. SignA fires, supposed to be in
reference to the incoming wagons. are yisi-
bic to the east of Crooks camp. on the
extreme south water of Tongue river.
