Show THE FRONTIER. Jack CulherUon, a half-breed, claims to have shaken hands with the famous Sitting Bull at Frenchman's French-man's creek, northern Montana, last mouth. He told Culbertson that he waB going to Wolf mountain; that be ould remain there for a few days to recuperato his ponies and from thence would come south and give the blue-coats blue-coats another deal . Culbertson aaked him if hs was not afraid to encounter en-counter tho troops, weakened as he was by the surrender of Crazy Horse. Sitting Bull replied in excellent English, but excitedly: "I am afraid of nothing. Crazy Horse is a squaw, and I will make his women weep before the snow falls. T will fiht i.h soldiers as long as I have a warrior. My young men are no papooses; they remember the Big Horn fight, and Miles need not fear that we will run from him. When I get ready I will hunt him and give the coyotes a feast. I don't want to fight, but they have sent soldiers after me, and I will shew tbem thai the Uncapapa is no squaw." Twelve ox-wagons loaded with BuHalo horns arrived at Cheyenne on Tuesday, consigned to eastern parties. Messrs. Gilmer, Salisbury & Patrick, Pat-rick, who recently secured the mail contract over the route from Bismark to Deadwood, have transferred it to the freight wagon stage company now traversing that road. |
