FARMER BULL.
Fort Yates, Aug. 31-Thc reports
lately published in the papers to
the effect that the Indians here are
not peaceably inclined, or that any
trouble is anticipated on account
Of the small number privileged by
the department to go to the Chey-
ennc agency, are all without foun-
dation in fact. The Indians here
are all peaceable and show the best
disposition to follow the advice of
Father Stephan, in whom all the
Sioux have the most perfect conf
dence, and settle down to agricul-
tural or pastoral life. The effect
upon the wild Indians Of the pro-
gress made by their freinds who
have been on the agency for year
or more is salutary III the extreme.
Even Sitting Bull and the most an
ti-civilization party in the tribe are
now convinced that interest as we'll
as necessity compel them to aban-
don the war.path forever and to
cultivate the arts of peace. Sitting
Bull applied to the agent at Stand
ing Rock, Father Stephan, for an
allotment of land, and announced
his intention to become a farmer.
So far as Sitting Bulls band is con-
cerned, all prospects of trouble is a
thing of the past. Father Stephan
is in daily expectation that Major
Mclaughlin, the new agent, will
relieve him. Everything is quiet
at the agency, and the Indians are
apparently well satisfied that the
great father at Washington means
to treat them with consideration
and good faith.
