with him. Crazy Horse, who saw the General

took his hand His example was followed by
most OF the Others Little Big Man was cou-
spcuous for his almost complete nudity.
After a review Gen. Crook led the way to
the ageucy. All the principal men having as
sembed inside Of the agency stockade, the
counci was opeped by Crazy Horse. He spoke
as fllows:
~ gu scot tobacco TO my camp 10 invite me
to come in. When the tobacco arrived | started
aud kept on till reached here. Ever siDce my
arrival my face has been turned toward the
fort, and my heart has been happy. In coming
this way picked out place where | wished
to live hereafter. and l put stake in the
grouod to mark the spot. There is plenty of
game 10 that country. All these relatives of
mine that arc here approve my choice OF the
place, and l would like them all to 20 back
there with me and stay together.
Crazy Horse was followed by Young N1ao
Afraid, Red Cloud, No Water, Iron Hawk,
and others, who spoke at greater or less length
to the same effect, all expressing a desire to
abide by the decision of the authorities in all
matters and to behave themselves 10 the
