tween Canada and the United States
HOW Is SITTING BULL TO BE TREATEDy

Terry his superior oficer and he asks for instruc-
tons. He wishes to know what the status OF
Sitting Bull Is and how he is TO be treated In the
possible event Of General Niles meeting the Sitting
Bull band and having passage at arms with it.
He alludes TO the fact that being or reservation
Sitting Bull is necessarily an enemy ut war

as such and give the Sioux the same stern and
vinctng lesson that the General SO successfully
taught the Nez Perez Indians under Chief Joseph.

Keogh.
Fort Peck is supposed to De the most ex-
posed point on our Northwestern frontier and
