when murdered. He was i'm an ambulance

Grow Dog rode up and placing a revolver
against his breast, shot him dead. Crow
Dog Immediately fed to Fort Siobrara for
protection. Crow Dog is not chief, but is
anxious to become one, and for a long time
has been engaged In creating discord among
the Indians. Spotted Toll was permitted to
visit the offices at the agency, but the other
chiefs were not accorded this privilege when
a general council was held. This caused
jealousy, and on the 4th Of July Grow Dog
called council Of his friends to test the
feelings of the Indians. Crow Dog made a
speech, pointing out that favors were shown
Spotted Tail by the Government that ought
to be shown all the indians alike, and that II
he were made chief things would be different.
Standing Elk spoke for peace and harmony,
and was followed by Spotted Tall who hap
pened along. Spotted Tail denounced Crow
Dog as snake in the grass, and called oil

breast he called on Crow Dog 10 empty his

ment by injection, II may possibly be able

BISMARCK, August 11.-A special 10 the
Bismarck Tribune from Fort Yates says when
Sitting Bull heard Of the killing of Spotted
Tail he said 1t was q fit ending for fool.
Bull claims he surrendered when he should
have kept the war path.
Appeals are being made from settlers along
the Missouri, to send more troops 10 Fort
Yates and Lincoln, and il is admitted by the
officers In command at Fort Yates that The
force Is wholly inadequate to sqnelci an out
break should 1t occur. To-day two squaws
were caught carrying ammunition and guns
into Sitting Bulls camp. He undoubtedly
means mischief, and II he says the word

follow him. The indians are Independent,
and trouble may be expected At any mo-
ment unless more troops are sent TO this VI
cinity, as power Is the only thing the Indians
respect.

The brilliant conjunction Of the month will
