ST PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 16.-Gen. Miles
last evening received dispatches stating
thl : In a fight near Standing Rock agency
Sitting Bull and number of Indian police
had been killed, The first dispatch was
from Pierre, S d., stating that Sitting
Bull and his son had been killed, but Civ
ing no further particulars. The other dis
patch was from Standing Rock agency,
S. d., and stated that the Indian police
started out to arrest Sitting Bull, having
learned that he proposed starting for the
Bad Lands at once. The police were fol-
lowed by troop Of cavalry under Capt.
Fouchet and infantry under Col. Drum
Bloody Battle Ensued.
When the police reached Sitting Bulls
camp on the Grand river, about forty miles
from Standing Rock, they found arrange
ments being made for departure. The
cavalry had not yet reached the camp
when the police arrested Bull and started
back with him. His followers quickly
rallied to his rescue aud tried to retake
him. In the fight that ensued Sitting Bull
is said to have been killed. Five Of the
Indian police were also killed.
One of the police rode back to the cavalry
and infantry, and after telling them to

sitting nnlI.a Cnreer.

Sitting Bull, the son Of Jumping Bull,
was born in Dakota in 1897 From his
boyhood he was a leader among the dis
contented and lawless Sioux, and often
opposed the chiefs who were on friendly
terms with the government. After the
massacre in Minnesota in 1862 many hith.
erto peaceful Indians joined the band OF
Sitting Bull, who kept up a constant war
fare against the settlers Of the frontier.
Many vain attempts were made to bring
him into subjectlon. In 1868 a treaty was
made with the Sioux by a special commits.
sion, by which they agreed to sell the tract
west OF the Missouri river and north Of the
Platte, and to restrict themselves to the
reservation assigned to them.
The terms of the treaty were carried out
by the government and by most of the Ia.
dians. Several rowing bands never nc
knowledged the concession, and commit
ted depredations upon white settlers from
time to time. Sitting Bull was the most
implacable and the most aggressive OF the
malcontents, maintaining his hostile atti-
tude not only toward the representatives
Of the government, but toward those
tribes Of his own people who rejected his
supremacy and his policy Of dealing with
the whites. In 1874 he drove tine Grows
from their reservation, and In the next
year attacked the settlers Of Montana.
The killing of Custer.
Finally the interior department ordered
him to remove with his band TO the reser.
vation by Jan. 81, 1876. He did not obey,
and on Feb. / the interior department
turned him over to the department of war.
In March an expedition under Gen. Crook
destroyed the village Of Crazy Horses
band in the Yellowstone valley Hostili-
ties were interrupted on account OF cold
weather.
On June 25 Gen. Custer, with GOO men OF
the Seventh cavalry and 400 infantry, met
a force Of 1900 or 5000 Sioux at the Little
Big Horn river Custer and the four com
panies under his immediate command were
killed, and the remainder of the whites put
to flight, Gen. Terry advanced upon the
hostile Sioux, who fed northward, Sitting
Bull with a part Of his band making his
escape into British territory. Through the
mediation Of Dominion officials he sur
rendered on a promise Of pardon in 1880.
In July and August, 1888, in a conference
at Standing Rock, S. d., he influenced his
tribe TO refuse TO relinquish Indian lands.
Since that time he has remained defiant,
although the majority Of his people have
accepted the domination OF the white men
and have refused to recognize him as a
leader
The decline Of his influence has embit.
tered the old chief all the more, but has
not lessened his enmity to those whom he
regarded rs the foes Of his race.
