correspondent of the Mandan Pi

A correspondent of the Mandan Pho
neer writing from Cannonball, says:
''The old Indians ale advising their old
er brethren not to plant any crops this
year, and it is gong to very dry year,
and nothing will grow. Poor Lo is not a
veoy enthusiastic farmer at the best of
times, and under the discouraging infu-
ence of the old prophets, they are letting
agricultural operations strictly alone this
year.
John Maggie, who reached Washburn,
from Fort Berthold Tuesday evening, says
a similar feeling prevails amcng the In
dians of that reservation. They think
the large amount of snow fall last winter,
is perlude to an off year in crep raising.
