CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-The first tel.

at Poplar Greek agency for few hours
last week, On bis way back to Dakota,
after visiting tho Indians in the Domin-

White Gut reported that the Indians
north Of the line were richer and more
prosperous than those who surrender.
cd, finding q good deal OF game, trap.
ping and fur, and when they wished to
work, getting better wages than tho In
dians on the reservation. White Gut also
said that the Indians with Sitting Bull

orders that ii hostile gun waa fired at
any time in Dakota or elsewhere, ell the
Indians everywhere must rise up and do
