tween Cactus plain and Wood mountain,

about the commission that is coming 10

upshot. He will not accept any penal con
dltiors, nor will he hand himself over TO the
commission without satisfactory guarantees
of his future. The Sioux have utterly failed
in tamperlng with the loyalty OF the Ind an
tribes on this side the line, but efforts with
The Northern Montana tribes have, IL is
feared, been attended with some success:

he Is in now, and that after that he will be
guided solely by circumstances. His fo,-
lowers are excited by Joseph's success, and
are also cognizant OF the fact that trouble is
feared from the tribes In the Okanagan dis
triot OF British Columbia, just across the
line. The Fort Benton people seem to think
that general Indian war is imminent but
the police here have reason TO believe that

CHARLIE JACOBS, ALIAS SITTING BULL.
Several old traders who have had a look at
him declare that they remember him well as
Charlie Jacobs, a halfbreed, who attended
tho college in its infancy thirty years ago
This young Jacobs was of Ojibway birth,
aid was remarkably Intelligent lad, with
ambition to become q "big Injun." He dis
appeared from Fort Garry about 1853. When
asked by the police officer If ne recellected
anything about Fort Garry, Sitting Bull
laughed heartily, and said he knew the prin-
clpal people there, naming many of them.
Sitting Bull Gays his father, Henry Jacobs,
was at one time employed as Interpreter by
Father Proulx on Manftoulin Island, but
whether the old gentleman is dead or not he
does not know. Sitting Bull is thoroughly
familiar with French and English and sew
eral Indian languages. He is about ~ or 10
years of age, q meIium-siged, athletic built
man, OF 10 distinguishing traits beyond
those always found in the half breed. He is
an excellent eonversatlonalist, and will talk
on every subject but his plans for the future
Major Walsh and his associates are afraid
that their guest will grow FESTIVE and move
away If the commission from Washington
do not hurry along. Sitting Bull expected
that Gen. Miles, VINO is in command at Fort
Benton, would have been sent TO him
