return to school; aud if they wished TO re-
main in peace all they had to do was to
comply with the orders of General Miles.
Those who had good sense should set the
example to and control the young men.
They had turned in very few guns, and
every one knew they had many more.
The Great Spirit had so far this
winter given extraordinarily good weather.
Ii blizzard should now come up their
children and women would die and they and
tney and the soldiers would suffer. He
SAID they would Immediately comply with
General Miles order so the soldiers could
soon go homes. If they did, some OF the
chle1s would be taken to Washington to
state their grievances before the great
father; their rights would be recognized by
the present officers over them. The council
closed in the best possible humor, tue
Brules having listened intently, and good
results are expected from the council.
Up to this evening the Indians have
turned in over hfty-one guns out of about
fourteen hundred they are believed to pos

band Of Cheyennes left here to- day for the
tongue hlver agency, a distance of forty
miles They are accompanied by Captain
EWers whose duty, among others, will be to
saJlsfy the settlers along the route tnat the
Inulans are peaceable and that no danger
need be unprecedented. The transfer is
made IN pursuance of an agreement entered
into several months ago by General Miles
and the other Cheyenne commissioners at
tne request OF the Cheyennes who are not
able to live in peace with the Sioux.
The disposition of the various bodies of
troops remains unchanged. Short Bull
said many of the Rosebud Indians wanted
to come to Pine Ridge because they know
tney would be treated better there; they
were starved at Rosebud. Sometimes they
wanted to live with their brothers in one
place. People carried lies about the In
dlaas when they were separated
High Pipe and Two Strikes also spoke
ana were followed by Standing Soldier, a
hne young chief and member of TayIor's
scouts. He said some had come to the
agency to make trouble and had killed
friendly Indians. That had caused the
soldlerS 10 be sent against them and made
General Miles command them to Law down
their arms. He hoped all of them would
comply with the ORDER because it would
orlng peace again. A short time ago ne had
brought to White Hat lieutenant TAYLOR
good many OF Sitting Bulls men. They
were now IN camp; they had been well
treated and their horses fed with grain and
hay. Ii Big Foot and his band had come ia
they would have been treated in the same
manner. The trouble which came to him
was brought on by his own people
Or. McGlllicudy then gave the Indians a
TAX In which he pointed out the errors
they had made. He advised them to obey
the regulations in future.
Lieutenant Taylor was asked by the In
dams to speak. He said he knew verv
many Cgallalas and was satisfied they were
friendly. He did not know the Brules so
well, but felt that there were many good
men among them. The trouble they had
experienced has been occasioned by a va
rlety of circumstances. In the greater
part OF the Indian troubles he had observed
the indians had always good excuses and
he thought they had some excuse in this
instance. The trouble was now over.
