The Old William at last Sent to the
Happy Hunting

His Arrest by Squad Of Indian
Police Caused q
Fight.

FoRr YATES, S. d., Special Telegram, Dec
LISTING Bull was arrested this morning
u, daylight by the Indian police. Friends
attempted his rescue and fight ensued
Si,tn; Bull, his son Black Bird, Catch Bear
and our other hostiles, together with seven
o: the best police under Capt. Fecht were
killed. 49,.
AS soon as the firing had ceased three
troops of cavalry came to the rescue of the
Indian police, who were being routed by
tine skilled sharpshooters of the hostiles
They brought with them two machine
guns, which were turned loose upon Sitting
Bulls followers, and within five minutes
the savages were out Of range and leaving
at a furious rate on their fleet ponies toward
the Bad Lands, where Short Bull and Crow
Dog are intrenched with 200 Ogallala bucks
The police were sent out to Sitting Bulls
camp to arrest the old medicine man, as it
had been reported that he had struck his
tepees and was about to join the hostiles,
who have pillaged along the White river
When the officers reached the camp they
found Indians ready to march. Their
ponies were painted and many of the say
ages had stripped themselves for war. The
police made dash into the camp and seized
Sitting Bull.
They were on their way back to Standing
Rock when Black Bird, the tall and ath-
letic son Of the famous chief urged his
comrades to recapture the old man. The
women and children were left in the bushes
and then with yells the hosti]es charged
upon the police, firing as they came A
hand-to-h hand struggle ensued, during which
Sitting Bull, who was not shackled, gave
his orders in loud voice.
For several minutes the firing was heavy
and deadly. Nearly every man who was
hit was killed. In the furious iusilladc
Sitting Bull fell out Of his saddle, pierced
by bullet, but it is not known whether. it

the police. Black Bird was also sla1. al

If the cavalry had not come at this time

to enter into the action. A skirmish line
was thrown out and then, kneeling and fir

Battle Greek, S. D.
CHICAGO Dec. IA dispatch received al
army headquarters from Battle Creek, S.
D., states that letter had lust been re-
celved by courier from Capt Wells, at
the south Of French creek. stating that a
fight had occurred there Dec. - between
twenty citizens ard band Of roaming
Sioux. Five Indians were reported killed
but the loss Of the whites was not given
dispatch from Gen. Brooke said that
reports received by him on the night of the
18th showed decidedly hostile intent on
the part Of the Indians in the Bad Lands.
He feared that the collision between some
citizens and the Indians had turned the
scale.
Information from Fort Bennett goes to
show that the Indians at Cherry Creek
agency are greatly excited and that under
the leadership OF Big Foot they are keeping
up the ghost dances. The Indian excite
nent is increased by the report that bands
ofSioux from Rosebud and Pine Ridge are
moving in the direction of Cherry Creek.
Col. Corbin said last night that it was not
known whether or not the fight referred To
by Gen. Brooke was the one that occurred
at French Creek.
"lf not, continued the colonel, "there
nave been two rows, and Of the one referred
70 by Gen. Brooke we know nothing as vet.
1t is to be feared, now that blood has been
shed, that there will be more trouble, for if
an Indian knows that some of his tribe have
been hurt he will lorcgo his peaceful lnten.

Ridge, and it is to be hoped that he won't
turn back when he hears OF the French
Greek affair: In all probability Kicking
Bear and Short Bull are the instgators OF
such trouble as has occurred.'
