Trouble Between Indians and Buf.
falo Hunters.

Dispatches from the Poplar River
| Agency seem to indicate a prospect OF
trouble between the Indians of the
| Missouri reservation and the nomadic
army of whites who are following the
buffalo herds throughout that country.
The Indians are highly incensed at the
wholesale slaughter by the white men
of what they regard as their exclusive
prey, and under the leadership of a
| chief called Black Catfish, announce
their intention of resisting any invasion
Of the reservation by white hunters,
In this connection the account of q
hunter named Turner, who was in town
last week, may prove ofinterest to some
Of our readers. In the latter part of
November, he and party of five others
were camped on the Redwater, a ANAL
southern tributary of the Missouri.
That locality has long been a favorite
buffalo run and they were awaiting the
passage of the herds from the northern
side of the river to their southern
ranges. One evening while sitting
around their camp fires they were sur
prised by the advance of band of at
least two hundred mounted Indian
bucks whom he aftcrward learned were
Ianktonnais and Upper Assinaboincs
headed by chief who claimed to be a
brother of the noted Catfish. The body
of the Indians halted at respectful
distance and their chief efaccompanied by
half-breed interpreter approached the
hunters and proceeded to disclose the
object of their errand. They desired the
hunters to leave that country and warm
ed them especially to keep off the res
ervation, intimating that any white men
found hunting on Indian ground would
meet with desperate usage. The white
men, they said, hunted the buffalo only
for their hides, while they needed them
for food, and if the hunters killed all
their buffalo they would be forced to
kill the white mems cattle.
After further parley to the same effect
they withdrew with parting injunction
for the hunters to retire from that
country. AS the Indians rode away
they fired several shots in the darkness,
but Turner did not believe that they
were fired at his party but merely in
tended as q demonstration or reminder
Of what might occur.
Not wishing to become involved in
any collision with the hostile reds and
game being scarce the hunting party
Withdrew to the Musselshell country,
and our informant came in to Billings to
obtain supplies. He does not regard
the Indians as avowedly hostile, but
fears that any breach by hunters of res
crvation privilege may provoke en-
counters which cannot be otherwise
than disastrous to the latter, as the
white men are from the nature of their
avocation in small parties while the In
dians patrol the country in large bands,
are well armed and mounted. not def
cient in courage aid commanded by q
rcsOlute chief.
