Two Sioux Chiefs - Third In
stallment
Continued from Last sunday,)


In 1878 the Sioux Indians moved from
the valley Of the North Platte to the
beautiful White River valley in north
western Nebraska Here two agencies
were established. one called Red Cloud
Agency. near the present site Of Fort
Robinson. the other called Spotted Tail
Agency, about forty miles northeast. near
tlSe junction of Beaver creek with the
White river. For the next five years the
valley about these two frontier posts
was the scene of more exciting events
than was any other part OF Nebraska,
Gold was found in the Black Hills in
1875. BY the treaty of 1868 the Black Hills
belonged to the Sioux and white men
were TO be kept out. White men would
mot be kept out after gold had been dis
covered. Many OF the Sioux under Sit
ting Bull and Crazy Horse went on the
warpath again. The Sioux under Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail were fed by the
United States. The two old chiefs re-
manned at peace, but hundreds OF their
young men took rations from the United
States and then slipped away under cover
of night to join the hostile Sioux in the
north In 1873. congress voted not to
feed the Sioux according to the Fort
Laramie treaty Ol 1900 unless tney re-
NAMED north of the Niobrara river. In
May OF that year. Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail went To Washington again and made
an agreement for 10000 a year to give
up their hunting privilege south OF the
Niobrara. Only half OF this sum was
paid. Red Cloud was urged many times
by the warriors who had fought under
him ten years before to lead them again
against the whites. He steadily refused.
He had been in the east and seen the
cities full of white people. He had sent
his young men over all the hunting
grounds and he knew that there were not
enough buffalo 20 feed his people through
another campaign.
June 2s, 1875. was the date Of the great
est victory over the whites in the history
Of the Sioux nation. General Custer, the
Eoldest Indian fighter I'm the country,
with 200 men, was cut off at the battle
OF the Little Big Horn i'm Montana. The
news was brought into the Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail agencies by Indian runners
There was intense excitement among the
Oglalas and Bruies ard Il was feared
that all would Join the hostile Siote.
