SITTING BULL,

In presenting TO our readers
the portrait of this ugly and mercl-
less savage, it perhaps would lie
of interest to give 4 sketch of the Sioux
Indian and chief, whose career has been
so marked with deeds OF treachery and
blood. Sitting Bull is the son OF the
chief, Jumping Bull, and the nephew OF
Four Horns and Hunting His Lodge.
two chiefs also. He was born in 1887,
near old Fort George, below the mouth
Of the Cheyenne river.
This suilen chief has two wives, and
has had another, who has gone to the
Great Spirit" He has nine children,
two of which, Black Bird and Catch Bear
were killed in the melee of yesterday.
He has nine children; and (what, fortu-
nately for the country, is most rare
among his race) two pairs of twins.
He has always been a faithless and
troublesome customer; and after his
participation in the massacre of
the brave Custer and those who fell
with him, he escaped with his warriors
to Canada, where he remained until
1881, beyond the reach of the United
States government. On his return be
was tried and pardoned, on his promises
that he would return to the Sioux
reservation and remain peaceable. TO
she W how well he kept his promises, it
is Faithfully said that he precipitated
the recent ghost dances which event
ually resulted in his death by Indian
police while resisting arrest.

The Larson Fire at Sion. Falls.

Sioux FALLS, $. d., Dec. 20.-A fire
broke out at s o'clock yesterday morn
ing in the two-story residence of f.
Larson. the hardware merchant. Be-
fore the fire department could reach the
scene OF trouble the upper story was
ablaze. Tho startling discovery was
made during the progress Of tho ftr1
that the adjoining stable contained
eighteen small kegs OF powder. A
strong wind was blowing at the time
towards the barn and the fremen sue
ceeded in placing the powder out OF
danger. In the afternoon Larson was
arrested on the charge of storing
powder within the city limits and was
fined by the court. For a time it looked
very much as IL the barn would be burn
ed and had not the powder been rescued
a serious catastrophe would have been
recorded. The damage done is estimat-
ed at 81, 500. with $500 insurance in the
Western, of Toronto.

county, yesterday, by a United States
marshal, upon a charge of imperson-
ating a claimant for a pension. present

case is most remarkable. In 1861

SITTING BULL DEAD
The Old Indian Warrior and His
Son Killed.
Ten Redskins Bite the Dust From
Resisting Indian Officers in
Doing Their Duty.

ST. PArL, Mimi, Dec. l6.-The re-
port received here late yesterday after
% that Sitting Bull had been killed,
is apparently confirmed by the advices
received by General Miles at military
headquarters in this city. He received
two dispatches last evening, the first
from Pierre, S. D., stating that
Sitting Bull and his son had been
killed, but giving no further par.
ticulars. The other dispatch was
frem Standing Rock Agency, S. d.,
and stated that the Indian police had
started out this morning to arrest Sit
ting Bull, having understood that he
proposed starting for the bad lands at
once. The police were followed by a
troop OF cavalry under Captain Fouchet,
and infantry under Colonel Drum.
When the police reached Sitting Bulls
camp on the Grand river, about forty
miles from Standing Rock, they found
arrangements being made for the depar-
ture. The cavalry had not yet reached
the camp when the police arrested
Bull and started back with him. His
followers quickly rallied to the rescue
and tried TO retake him. In the melee
the willy old chief is said 10 have been
killed and also Eve of the Indian po-
lice. One of the police rode back to the
cavalry and infantry, telling them to
hurry M to the support of the police,
and then hurried on TO the agency with
the news of the battle. Nothing later
than this has been received, but the
death Of Sitting Bull and at least FIVE
of those who captured him seems I'M
doubtedly true.
