Brooklyn to arrange her affairs prior to
final settlement in the Sioux country.

her plans with the National Indian De-
tense committee. Then returning to

life. Sitting Bull advised her to go and
see Maj. Mclaughlin and arrange

chief himself, decked out for burial, for
he expected to meet death ere he re-
turned, escorted her to the fort. promiS-

But she could do nothing, and, her
boy becoming sick, she fastened at once

where she will remain for the present.
