REPRESENTATIVE SALES.
The following are the representative sales {
cattle at the stock yards today:

The run of hogs was light today as is
usually the case on the first day Of the
week. The quality was not up to that of
that Of the last three days of the week
past. There were more orders for hogs
than could be filled from the supply on
hand. Top hogs brought $40, which in
cluded the bulk of packing hogs. All
grades So. 25@3.40 There was not much
demand for pigs and not many were sold.
Those that changed hands brought s.. 40.
The market opened strong and trading
was brisk to the extent of the offerin gs
The market closed steady to scents higher
than Saturdays close.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-01-06

The cattle receipts were only nominal
today. The offerings were of an inferior
grade of stock, comprising mostly of
butchers cows and heifers. There was
an active demand for all kinds of stock
and about all the offerings were sold, but
at prices somewhat below those of last
Saturday. Good cattle would have sold
higher than prices today There were
not enough cattle to supply the demand
and the market closed active and strong at
Saturdays quotations.

Indian delegation had another conference with
Commissioner Morgan at the Indian Bureau
this morning Twining Hawk, an Episcopal
minister of Pine Ridge Spotted Horse, or
Standing Rock American Horse of Ogallalas
Big Road and White Horse We're the speakers.
Iwlning Hawk gave an interesting and
graphic account Of the battle at Wounded
Knee Creek He corrobOrated statements
made by other delegates that there were at
No time more than one thousand men. women
and children IN the Bad Lands during the
trouble Spotted Horse spoke chiefly in re-
gard 10 the establishment Of new day schools
and his efforts TO keep the Indians IN the
straight road and 10 avoid ghost dances.
Big Road OF the Pine Ridge agency, ad-
mitted that be was ghost dancer. but said
he took no part IN hostllities. Before the
dance the Indians all joined hands and prayed
10 God for something % eat. They took all
the rings on their fingers 10 show God they
had nothing and cl sed their eyes as IN a
dream. neither looking right nor left. The
reason why Red Cloud retreated 10 the Bad
Lands was because the Indian police fired
into his house. lie then joined the hOstlles,
but soon made peace and returned 10 the
agency.
spotted Horse requested the Commissioner
10 rebuild tine schools and churches burned
during the trouble at Pine Ridge.
III res ponse % questions propJunded by the
Commissioner. American Horse said the Sioux
Indians we're not we'll armed they used Vim
chester rifles and secured their reyolyers and
ammunition from store-keepers, grangers and
farmers. He never SAW an Indian buy guns.
he mad no objection 10 turning over 10 the
Government all the arms now in their pos
session There were but few Of the Indians
armed and that was the reas N why they were
here 10 treat with the Commissioner. He
thought however, If the Indlans were un-
armed they would not be safe from the white
man.
American horse said he had been serving
the Government and his people as chief OF
his tribe for many years. lie had never re-
ceived any pay for his services, and he wished
10 resign So that he might go into the stock
raising business and accumulate some money
for the benefit Of his family after his death. he
would continue TO be loyal 70 the Govern
ment. The Commissioner told him that he had
no power in the matter, and that ne must re-
fer mis- resignation 10 his people and let them
decide. The pow-wow then came 10 an end
and the conference adjourned.
