General Crooi-s Opinion of
Indian %SituntiOn.
OMAHA, Jan. 30.
General Crook left last night tor Indi-
an Territory on business connected with
Indian affairs. In an interview before
leaving, lie saul, among other things,
that in his opinion it would he difficult
to maintain peace on the Northern
borders, and on the Upper Missouri

their accustomed stamping ground,
which is in United States territory.
Whenever Sitting Bull and his Indians
come down that lar, there will he more

Indians will soon have t. find some
other mean Of subsistence, and this
will eventually compel them To rely
on the Government, or to commit dep
relations. In his opinion. over 100 600
butfaloes have been slaughtered every
year for the last 10 years. and the
natural increase is very much lessthan
that. General Crook thought il would
be Impossible TO prevent Sitting Bull
from crossing the border into the
United States, as there were 800 miles
of unprotected territory. There are
troops on Tongue river. OF the yellow.
stone and Upper Missouri, and there is
no doubt that they can do much
towards checking the Indians from
committing any serious ~depredations,
still there will always be in that upper
country more or less danger Until Sit.
ting Bull is cleaned ont. The agency
Indians will have communication with
Sitting Bulls forces when they come
down.
