North, but merely overcome by numbers.
After listening TO the cheap bravado, Beaure-

any fighting during the late war;" To this
there was only a negative response. well,

General Alfred Sully, who died recently at
Fort Vancouver. on the Pacific coast, left
valuable estate in Philadelphia, inherited
from his father, and also considerable sum
OF money he had accumulated in his long
army career. 1t is now said that the only
person to whom any part of General Sully's
large fortune of right belongs is his half
breed daughter Julia, at present living with
White Swans band of Yankton Indians on
the Missouri River. Those who knew Gen.
Sully well while campaigning against the
Indians of Dakota, say that at his death he
had no wife nor any issue living except this
girl, and steps will soon be taken to establish
her right TO the fortune. The marriage of
General Sully, according to Indian custom,
with this girls squaw mother, is susceptible
of proof, and it is believed that it will be
difficult to invalidate the claim. The girl is
noted as the most beautiful Indian maiden
