unteers are held at Duluth ready to
start for points along the Fosston line
of the Great Northern, where the two
batteries of militia artillery men have
preceded them, and Sunday another
company of the l4th, made up OF 80 men

cutions for illegal selling of liquor to
Indians.

The situation G hay right was
more ominous .hRu ever. At the
agency Sunday a coun al was held be.
tween the Indians, Gen. Bacon, Col.
Herbach, Indian Agent Sutherland
and Marshal O'Connor The result OF
the conference was not in any way un'
like that of those previously held, ex'
cept in the fact that not one of the
leading men of the different bands
was present
There were, however, representa-.

with the tribesmen. The only con-

of the different bands sent men there
merely as stool pigeons and that others
of their number are now preparing fol-
the warpath.
A most significant fact is this: Sat
urday so canoe loads of Bear island In
dams and their families, protesting tc
be peaceful, arrived at the agency.
Sunday every one of the bucks in the
party left, but where they have gone
is only to be surmised. There is little
dou BIT, however, that they have left fol
Bear island to join those who are al
ready prepared to fight There mus
be by this time several hundred armed
men on the island and from what car
be learned Sunday many more are or
the road Two or three of the Bear
island men, who are still on the
agency, have been questioned in re
gard to last Wednesdays battle, bu'
they positively stated that they knew
nothing whatever in regard to tho
dead and wounded among the Indian:
and had seen none of those who were
in the fight
Gen. Bacon announced that the las
council would be held Monday and the
Indians dispersed.
A special from Walker says:
1t was reported Sunday night on the
authority of a citizen who has con
versed with hostile Pillager Indian
one who was in Wednesdays battle
and who has sat in all the councils o
