TROUBLESOME SITTING BULL.
He Becomes Angry and Interferes with the
Work of the Sioux Commission.

STANDING Rock, Oak, Aug. 3.-The final
council was held this afternoon with all
the chiefs present but Gall and Running
Antelope. Grass made very nice speech.
in which he said, as his friends at the other
agencies had broken their promise not to
sign the treaty. he was now willing
to accept the treaty. Mad Bear followed
to the same effect, as did Wolf Necklace.
When the signing was about to begin, Sit
ting Bull, who had come up with his band
mounted on their ponies, entered the circle
aud asked to talk. This being considered
too late an application, he was refused the
opportunity. He retired in anger, and
when John Grass, Mad Bear, Big Head and
Deer Face had signed the bill, being the
first names, he ordered his young men to
stampede the crowd who were gathering
around the tables. A rush on horseback
was made, which scattered the crowd right
and left. but by the prompt action of Agent
Mclaughlin, the attempted disturbance
was quelled. A strong force of police
was placed In position and several of
the young braves taken into custody, after
which Sitting Bull retired to his camp, fol-
lowed by his band. This little episode
over, the Indians again cOngregated about
the tables, and the signing went on as rap
idly as four clerks could identify and in
scribe the names. At this writing about
four hundred names have been taken, and
the signing still progresses rapidly. 1t is
thought this will continue until the major
ity of the signatures will be obtained.
