His Conspiracy Against the
Whites.
WAsHrSGToN, February S.-The fol-
losing dispatch containing an account oi
the vii, Of Sitting Bulls Sioux over the
border, and their attempt to form a con-
federation to attack the whites, has been
received here, and ia vOuched Tor as re-
liable in every respect:
FoRr BENTON, Februaryb.
Chsrley Buckman arrived from Fort
Blodgett las, evening with the following
important news: On the 18th ult. the
Crows and Grosventres camped at Fort
Cl0ggett, ,and discovered Mocssin tracks OF
about 100 Sioux, in the vicinity Of the
camp, and pieces ot tobacco tied tosticks
we're found, which meant that the Sioux
desired to smoke aud hold council. The
CrowSnnd GrOsvcntres, however, consid.
cred the tobacco decoy and were afraid
to venture out. The following day Maj.
Reed, who was at the Fort, started for
hi. rancho in company with one OF the
CroW.;when few miles out they discov-
cred large party Of Sioux, mounted
and were compelled to turn back. That
night all the Indians camped near the
tort aud tied their horses to the lodges,
but in spite Of this precautiOn fifty head
Of the animals were stolen, evidently by
the mounted party seen the day previous.
The party on foot is supposed TO be still
prOwIing about near the fort. Lone Bull,
Grosventre, has gone with the Crows
intoihe Judith country, taking the lodges
Of his people with him and advising the
rest to follow. A Grosvcntrc Indian
came IN from Marion to-day aud reported
a. follows: A member OF the Blacktoot
tribe recently came to his camp on Ma
rion to learn how he and his people felt
about joining the Sioux. 1t appears the
Sioux have held a council with the sar-
cess on Cypress mountains, when the
Sioux stated that they want us to form
an alliance with all the northern tribes
to kill of the whites before the latter
become too numerous. The Sarcess cOm
municated with the BlackIeel, and the
latter zen, ttis Indian to negotiate will
the Grosventres and Pigeons. Before tht
Grosventre Indian, from whom this in
formation is obtained, left the Marion,
runner from the main camp OF Milk rivei
had come in with news to the effect that
delegation Of nine Sioux had come to the
camp to get the GrOsventre' and Assina
boynes to Join them against the whites
The Grosventres profess to have threat
sDed the party, whereuPon the latter
went outside the camp and dug hole
and dsrsd them TO come on. They say
that they would have attacked them buI
we're afraid Of the Assinaboynes.

so expressed himself to the members Of

been seaworthy without = cargo, but did
not think she could have reached Para
