two hundred Crow Indians were
travelling in this direction, to wage
war with the Sioux. They are ex-
pected to arrive at Cannon Ball, about
20 miles below the agency today, and
a fight is expected. The Crows have
taken advantage of the Sioux, while
their leaders have been comforting at
Washington and there is not one in
fluential Indian at the agency at
present, and it is feared the
Sioux will become demoralized,
and scatter, one of the company
of the Sth cavalry with large force
of Indian police, has already been
dispatched to meet the attacking
Crows; it was thought at first that
the Crows were probably coming on a
peace mission, but hitherto, when

So far as my territory is concerned, il

pie. don't care anything about how
many democratic territories are brought
into statehood. I am not concerned in

division OF Dakota first and statehood
secondly. Ii We cannot get division we
don't want statehood.
Thebe were the utterances of Delegate
Clifford after the house committee on
territories had voted to report adversely
upon the two bills for the division of Da-
kota and the admission of the fragments
MIR. Clifford is right and the people will
sustain his position. Dakota does not
want admission without statehood. It
will suffer the ills OF it's present condition
rather than accept condition infinitely
worse and condition from which there
would be no escape. The omnibus bill
is now so he eprung--a bill which will
