R,ondent has just received advices from
Poplsr River to tue effect that special
courier arrived there on the 23d with ad-
vices from Woody Mountain stating that
Sitting Bull had left that place and gone
east. He is now cncamped with his vii
lagc, about thirty lodges, forty miles east
of Woody Mountain, at a place knows as
Willow Springs. Capt, Mcdonald, one
of the Northwestern mounted police, says
that Sitting Bull has acted in bad faith
and does not intend to surrender to Amer.
ican authorities. The Crees and Upper
Assinaboincs are at war with the Sioux,
and last week took the war path against
Sitting Bull. On the Goth a war party OF
Crees undertook to steal some ponies Of
Sitting Bulls people, whereupon Bull
turned loose and hustled them out of the
vicinity, The Sioux followed them for
some distance, but finally came to large
body of water which the Crees had swan,
leaving no evidence of trail.
ONE SOLITARY CREE,
however, Jagged behind, and several of
Sitting Bulls young men, seeing him,
started in hot pursuit. The frightened
Cree rushed into tho camp at Woody
Mountain, claimed protection from the
Canadian authorities, and was placed in
the guard house for safety. The disap-
pointed Sioux were close behisd him,
shouting and carousing like devils. They
were told to: git" immediately which
piece Of advice they unhesitatingly con
sidered. .-.-.w -t.ra &24a.. SO
BULL WILL. NOT SURRENDER,
because he believes he will be foully
dealt with. He says that the government
only want him SO that the whole of the
chiefs may be hung together. Hc has
several times in the past TWO months said
that lie would surrender, but he has now
concluded to remain outside the agency.
Considerable uneasiness is felt ut Poplar
Creek at the rumor that Sitting Bull has
sent emissarles to the Agency to induce
lls people to desert and follow him.
Many young bucks are leaving the Agency
daily, under the pretcnse of q hunt, but rs
some Of them do not return it is supposed
that they are gradually focking 10 the
support of their old chieflian, Sitting
Bull. In Poplar Creek Agency there are
about $500 Indians. Five hundred to
one thousand of them are we'll armed,
many of them with the guns plundered
IN THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
1t is also generally believed that a large
number of guns and considerable ,ammu-
milton have been cashed by the Indians
in the mountains, rs those who have re-
Gently surrendered have not turned in but
few. No attempt will be made ut present
to disarm the Agency Indians as many
hunting parties are out. In June the an
nual sun dance occurs, when the hunting
parties will all be in to participate. At
this time it is believed to be the intention
to quietly surround the Agency with q
large force of soldiers and disarm them.
This policy vii: prove q grand mistake,
however, US there can be no doubt Of the
Indians having u large number Of guns
hid in the Milk River country, and if
they are thus entrapped they will simply
reluctantly yield, only to break from the
Agency ut the earliest opportunity and
take to the war path with ten fold ven,
,.seance in their hearts
