Probably the Final Exit Of Sitting Bull
from Uncle Sans Domfnion-An Insig-
nifoant Following With Him.
Department headquarters, Gen. Terry
commanding, were in receipt OF impor-
tant information from the officers in the
field, who have for months been engaged
in the movement for the capture or sur
render of Sitting Bull and followers.
The first of the dispatches is from Major
Brotherton, Of the Seventh infantry, OF
date the 9th, at Fort Buford, D. t., an
nouncing the arrival there of Scout ALL
son with 326 hostiles under Grow King
and other chiefs recently surrendered.
The second Is from Major nges, from his
camp at Poplar River, NJ. T., of date the
9Th, and announces the return to his
camp of Culbsrtson and scout, who fol-
lowed the trail CT Sitting Bull and his few
remaining followers across the border into
Manitoba. According to the reports made
by Culbertson to Ma jor 1lges, sitting Bull
had with hin when he crossed the
line forty-throe tepees. but as It is
known that his following was largely
made up Of the old and decrepit, and
that something over seven hundred under
his general leadership, when he reorossed
the line from Manitoba into the United
States last fall, had surrendered
to the United States gov.
ernment, it is believed by army
officers that his total fighting strength
when he returned to Manitoba, could not
possibly exceed sixty or seventy men, Bnd
that no further trouble need be looked for
from this doughty and at one time formid.
able warrior. The following are the
kilograms:
FORT BuroRD, D. T., Feb. 6, 1881.
To Gen. A. 81. Terry, Commanding De.
partment Of Dakota, St Paul:
Allison arrived yesterday with 825 Of
the hostile Sioux under Crow King,
Black Eagle, Good Bear, and Long Dog.
They surrendered arms and ponies to-
day. Crow King, the head soldier Of
Sitting Bull, is the Indian to whom, IN
der Allison, we are most indebted for
this surrender. It is important from the
fact that these people were not isolated
from Sitting Bull when the movement
was made toward surrender. It was
made while forming portion Of his
camp, and in spite Of his opposition and
entreaties.
